Overview

CEN/TS 81-11:2011 is a CEN Technical Specification that collects official interpretations related to the EN 81 family of lift standards. Its purpose is to clarify how clauses in EN 81-series standards should be understood and applied in practice, helping create a common interpretation across manufacturers, lift installers, notified bodies, inspection bodies and national authorities. This second edition (March 2011) updates and consolidates interpretations for several EN 81 parts and supersedes the 2009 issue.

Key topics

This Technical Specification focuses on interpretations (not normative replacements) and addresses practical issues arising from the EN 81 family. Major technical topics covered include:

  • Clarifications to EN 81-1 and EN 81-2 (electric and hydraulic lift construction/installation requirements) - helping with machine room, safety gear, buffers, suspension and electrical safety circuits.
  • Remote alarm and communication (interpretations to EN 81-28) - guidance on passenger alarm systems and two-way communication.
  • Door and landing components (EN 81-58) - interpretation on landing door fire resistance testing.
  • Accessibility requirements (EN 81-70) - explanations on provisions for persons including persons with disability.
  • Firefighting and fire response (EN 81-72 and EN 81-73) - interpretations on firefighters’ lifts and expected lift behavior in the event of fire.
  • Testing and examination procedures - interpretation of test methods, type examination and inspection items referenced across the EN 81-series.
  • Administrative and procedural content such as lists of interpretation numbers, clause cross-references and an annex listing interpretations from previous EN 81 editions that remain valid.

Applications

CEN/TS 81-11:2011 is a practical tool to:

  • Resolve ambiguities in EN 81 clauses during design, manufacture and installation of lifts.
  • Support consistent enforcement and conformity assessment by notified bodies, inspection bodies and national authorities.
  • Guide manufacturers and lift installers on how to apply EN 81 requirements in real projects to reduce misinterpretation risk.
  • Inform safety assessments, type examinations and maintenance planning by referencing established interpretations.

Who should use it

  • Lift manufacturers and component suppliers
  • Lift installation and maintenance companies
  • Notified bodies and inspection authorities
  • Building designers, architects and facility managers concerned with lift safety and accessibility
  • Regulatory bodies aligning national rules with European lift standards

Related standards

  • EN 81-1 (Electric lifts), EN 81-2 (Hydraulic lifts)
  • EN 81-28 (Remote alarm), EN 81-58 (Landing door fire resistance)
  • EN 81-70 (Accessibility), EN 81-72 (Firefighters’ lifts), EN 81-73 (Behavior in fire)
  • CEN/TR 81-10 (procedure for elaborating interpretations)

Introduction
Standards reflect the consensus of the best European expertise and are prepared with highest care. Product
standards cannot be formulated in such a way that they describe all possible technical solutions and therefore
exclude all uncertainties regarding the understanding of the required provisions. On the other hand technology
is in a permanent evolution, the progress of which cannot be incorporated into standards quickly enough.
Interpretations are a practical way to give:
a) answers to questions regarding the understanding of clauses in standards;
b) feedback to the CEN-Committee responsible for a standard about the practical experiences resulting from
the use of the standard;
c) guidance to further development and improvement of standards following:
1) experience, especially accidents and incidents;
2) progress in technology;
3) state of the art.
Information concerning the procedure developed by CEN/TC 10 concerning the elaboration of interpretations
is shown in CEN/TR 81-10.

Protection in the well; rigid screen
QUESTION
In 5.6.1 a rigid screen is required as a separation of the travelling area of the counterweight or the
balancing weight. This screen shall extend from a position of not more than 0,30 m to a position of at
least 2,50 m. In case of compensating ropes/chains it is not possible to maintain the required 0,30 m
because of the diversion of these elements in the pit.
In those cases, the screen can only extend from a higher position, or a slot with sufficient width for the
movement of the compensating means has to be provided. It would also be useful to leave a space for
checking the buffers.
INTERPRETATION
At the next revision of the standard, the following text will be submitted to the voting procedures
according to the internal rules of CEN:
In the case of lifts with compensating means it is regarded as acceptable that the lower end of the
screen is lifted to a height corresponding to the height of the fully compressed buffer(s).
If this additional free height is not sufficient for diverting the compensating means additional slot(s) may
be provided where necessary.

記事タイトル:CEN/TS 81-11:2011 - エレベータの建設および設置の安全規則 - 基本と解釈 - 第11部:EN 81系列規格に関連する解釈 記事内容:この技術仕様は、EN 81系列の規格に関連する解釈のコレクションです(CEN/TR 81-10:2008を参照)。この文書は2冊目のもので、EN 81-1:1998、EN 81-2:1998、EN 81-28:2003、EN 81-58:2003、EN 81-70:2003、EN 81-72:2003、EN 81-73:2005に関する解釈が収集されています。 EN 81系列の他の規格に関する解釈は、利用可能になり次第追加されます。 解釈は、製造業者、エレベーター設置業者、通知機関、検査機関、および国家機関間の共通理解を促進することを目的としています。 解釈は、関連する規格と同じステータスを持ちません。ただし、解釈の適用により、関連する規格が正しく適用されていることを関係者に自信を与えるでしょう。

The article discusses a technical specification called CEN/TS 81-11:2011, which contains interpretations related to the EN 81 family of standards. These interpretations are aimed at improving understanding of specific clauses within the standards and facilitating common understanding among manufacturers, lift installers, notified bodies, inspection bodies, and national authorities. While interpretations do not hold the same status as the standards themselves, their application provides confidence that the relevant standards have been correctly applied. This document currently includes interpretations for several standards, but interpretations for other standards within the EN 81 family will be added in the future.
