Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 81-11:2011) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 10 “Lifts,
escalators and moving walks”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes CEN/TS 81-11:2009.
This document is a collection of interpretations related to the EN 81 family of standards. For the time being
this collection of interpretations relates to the following standards: EN 81-1, EN 81-2, EN 81-28, EN 81-58, EN
81-70, EN 81-72 and EN 81-73. According to the progress in working out interpretations, this document will be
amended and/or completed.
This is the second edition of this CEN Technical Specification. It replaces the former CEN/TS 81-11:2009.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus,
Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy,
Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia,
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
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.
1 Scope
This Technical Specification is a collection of interpretations related to the EN 81 family of standards (see
CEN/TR 81-10:2008). As second issue, this document collects interpretations to EN 81-1:1998, EN 81-
2:1998, EN 81-28:2003, EN 81-58:2003, EN 81-70:2003, EN 81-72:2003 and EN 81-73:2005.
Interpretations to other standards of the EN 81 family will be added when they are available.
Interpretations aim to improve the understanding of the clause(s) they are referring to and by that facilitating
common understanding between manufacturers, lift installers, notified bodies, inspection bodies and national
authorities.
Interpretations do not have the same status as the standards to which they are related. However, the
application of interpretations should give to the interested parties confidence that the relevant standard has
not been wrongly applied.
