Safety rules for the construction and installation of lifts - Lifts for the transport of persons and goods - Part 22: Electric lifts with inclined path; German version EN 81-22:2014
Sicherheitsregeln für die Konstruktion und den Einbau von Aufzügen - Aufzüge für den Personen- und Gütertransport - Teil 22: Elektrisch betriebene Aufzüge mit geneigter Fahrbahn; Deutsche Fassung EN 81-22:2014
Overview
This European Standard specifies the safety rules for the construction and installation of permanently installed new electric lifts, with traction or positive drive, serving defined landings levels, having a vehicle designed to convey passengers or passengers and loads, suspended by ropes or chains and travelling in a vertical plan along guide rails that are inclined at an angle of between 15° and 75° in relation to the horizontal. This standard does not cover: - lifts with drives other than those stated in 1.1, - installation of electric lifts in existing buildings to the extent that space does not permit, - important modifications (see Annex E) to a lift installed before this standard is brought into application, - lifting appliances, such as paternosters, mine lifts, theatrical lifts, appliances with automatic caging, skips, lifts and hoists for building and public works sites, ships' hoists, platforms for exploration or drilling at sea, construction and maintenance appliances, - safety during transport, installation, repairs, and dismantling of lifts, - lifts with rated speed ≥ 0,15 m/s. Moreover, taking into account the state of art, the scope of this standard is limited as follows: - inclination: a variation in inclination is permitted for the travel path; - travel path: confined within the vertical plane; - maximum capacity of the car: 7 500 kg (100 passengers); - maximum rated speed (v): 4 m/s. The national interests during the preparation were represented by Working Committee NA 060-33-01 AA "Aufzüge (SpA CEN/TC 10 und ISO/TC 178)" ("Lifts (national mirror committee CEN/TC 10 and ISO/TC 178)") at Technical Section Lifts and Escalators of the Mechanical Engineering Standards Committee (NAM) at DIN. Representatives of manufacturers and users of lifts, and of employers' liability insurance associations have been involved in the preparation.
