This European Standard specifies the special provisions and safety rules to ensure the behaviour of lifts in the event of fire in a building, on the basis of a fire signal (s) to the lift (s) control system. This standard applies to all new passenger lifts and goods passenger lifts with all types of drives. However, it may be used as a basis to improve the safety of existing passenger and goods passenger lifts. This standard does not apply to: lifts which remain in use in the event of fire e. g. firefighters lifts as defined in EN 81-72; lifts used for the evacuation of a building; and fire or smoke in the well. This standard applies, when the following conditions are fulfilled: there is a clear separation between the functioning of the BMS and the lift control system; recall system is operating as intended; and suitable maintenance and verification plan is implemented.
