EN 81 Safety Tests for the Construction and Assembly of Elevators

EUROLAB Laboratory, with its expert staff and technological infrastructure, provides accredited services within the scope of general safety rules and production verification for the construction and assembly of elevators. Our laboratory provides accredited and approved testing services in all the following standards in the EN 81 family of standards.

EN 81-1
Elevators - Safety rules for construction and assembly - part 1: Electric elevators
This standard specifies a standard for human and/or cargo suspended by rope or chain, between guide rails, which are fixed and newly installed, with drive pulley, drum or chain drive, serving certain stops, inclined not more than 15° from the vertical. It covers safety rules for the construction and assembly of electric elevators with a car designed for transportation.

EN 81-20
Safety rules for the construction and installation of elevators - Lifts for the transport of people and goods - Part 20: Lifts for people and goods
This document moves between ropes, chains or jacks and guide rails with a slope of not more than 15° to the vertical, which are traction, positive or hydraulically driven, serving certain descent levels, designed for the transport of persons or persons and goods. 1.2 In addition to the requirements of this document, additional requirements must be taken into account in special cases (use of lifts by persons with disabilities, in case of fire, potentially explosive atmosphere, extreme climatic conditions, seismic conditions, transport of dangerous goods, etc.). ). 1.3 This standard does not cover: a) Lifts with: 1) drive systems other than those specified in 1.1; 2) rated speed ? 0,15m/s; b) Hydraulic elevators: 1) rated speed exceeding 1 m/s; 2) where the setting of the pressure relief valve (5.9.3.5.3) exceeds 50 MPa; c) new passenger or freight passenger elevators in existing buildings 1) in some cases some requirements of EN 81-20 cannot be met due to limitations imposed by building restrictions and EN 81-21 needs to be considered; d) Hoists, e.g. paternosters, mine lifts, theater lifts, automatic cage devices, jumps, lifts and hoists and hoists for building and public works sites, ship hoists, offshore exploration or drilling platforms, construction and maintenance vehicles or lifts in wind turbines ; e) significant changes to a lift installed prior to the implementation of this standard (see Annex C); f) Safety during transportation, assembly, repair and dismantling of lifts. However, this standard can be usefully based. Noise and vibrations are not addressed in this standard as they are not at levels that could be considered harmful to the safe use and maintenance of the elevator (see also 0.4.2). 1.4 This standard does not apply to passenger and freight elevators installed before its publication date.

EN 81-2
Elevators - Safety rules for construction and assembly - Part 2: Hydraulic elevators
This standard specifies hydraulic lifts with a cabin designed for the transport of persons and/or goods, suspended by pistons, ropes or chains, between guide rails not more than 15° inclined from the vertical, fixed and newly installed, serving certain stops. It covers safety rules for construction and assembly.

EN 81-50
Safety rules for the construction and installation of elevators - Inspection and tests - Part 50: Design rules, calculations, inspections and tests of elevator components
This Standard refers to the design rules, calculations, examinations and other standards used for the design of passenger elevators, freight elevators, goods, elevator components tests only specifies elevators and other similar types of lifting appliances.

EN 81-21
Elevators - For transporting people and goods - Safety rules regarding construction and facility - Part 21: New elevators for transporting people and goods/people in existing buildings
Some requirements of EN 81-20:2014 cannot be met due to limitations that are permanently installed in existing buildings and in some cases due to building limitations. This European Standard addresses some of these limitations and provides requirements for alternative solutions. It will be read and applied in conjunction with the EN 81-20: 2014 European Standard. This European Standard covers: - Construction and installation of one or more new elevator(s) in an existing building, including new shaft and machinery spaces; or - Replacement of one or more existing elevators in existing shaft(s) and machinery spaces. This European Standard does not cover: - replacement or replacement of certain parts on a preloaded lift; - outside the scope of EN 81-20: 2014

EN 81-28
Elevators - Safety rules for construction and assembly - Elevators for the transport of persons and goods part 28 Alarm in passenger and freight elevators
This European Standard applies to alarm systems for all types of passenger and freight passenger elevators, in particular those covered in the EN 81 series. This European Standard also addresses the minimum information to be provided as part of the instruction manual on maintenance and rescue service. This European Standard addresses the following major hazards associated with elevators when used as intended and under the conditions stipulated by the installer/manufacturer: - Users being trapped by the elevator malfunctioning. This European Standard is not applicable to alarm systems intended to be used to call for help in other situations, eg heart attack, information seeking. This European Standard is applicable to alarm systems used for elevators manufactured and installed after the publication of this standard by CEN. However, this European Standard can be taken into account when applied to existing lifts. EN 81-70 gives additional requirements for persons with disabilities (eg inductive loop, alarm button).

EN 81-3
Elevators - Safety rules for construction and assembly part 3: Electric and hydraulic service lifts
This standard is a non-inclined standard of more than 15°C from the vertical, suspended by rope or chain or carried by lifters, which is considered inaccessible to persons due to its dimensions serving certain stops with a fixed and newly installed drive pulley, drum or chain or hydraulic drive. It covers safety rules for the construction and assembly of service lifts with a car that moves between guide rails.

EN 81-31
Elevators - For the transport of people and goods - Safety rules regarding construction and facility - Part 31: Open freight elevators only
Hydraulic powered devices, Installation, Hoists, Verification, Control devices, Inspection, Service lifts, Lifts, Equipment containment facilities, Lift shafts, Maintenance, Safety precautions, Operating instructions, Loading, Electrically powered devices, Equipment safety, This European Standard, fixed Applies to traction or positive drive, electric-only accessible hoists and new hydraulic-accessible hoists only, serviced to and permanent descent levels, permanently installed in confined spaces and/or used only by authorized and instructed persons (users). area, moving along a fixed path (e.g. scissor lifts, guide rail lifts) and having a load-bearing unit designed only for the carriage of goods and with a slope of not more than 15° to the vertical, not exceeding 1 m/s at rated speed and only suspended accessible loads with a rated load exceeding 300 kg and not intended to carry persons encompasses the
