- with enclosed liftways;
- with a speed not greater than 0,15 m/s;
- with platforms where the carrier is not completely enclosed
1.2 This standard deals with all significant hazards relevant to lifting platforms, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).

- operation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme climates, strong magnetic fields);
- lightning protection;
- operation subject to special rules (e.g. potentially explosive atmospheres);
- handling of materials, the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations;

Foreword
This document (EN 81-41:2010) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 10 “Lifts, escalators
and moving walks”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2011, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at
the latest by June 2011.
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 has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EC Directive 2006/42/EC.
For relationship with EC Directive 2006/42/EC, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech

Introduction
The population of Europe is ageing and the prevalence of disability, including disability associated with the
ageing process, is increasing. Older people and people with disabilities at present are estimated to number
some 80 million people – a large and growing proportion of the European Union population. The changing
demography presents both opportunities and challenges for the Union. The economic, social and cultural
potential of older people and people with disabilities is underexploited at present. However there is a growing
recognition that society needs to exploit this potential for the economic and social benefit of society generally.
This is one of the reasons that led to this standard on vertical lifting platforms for people with impaired mobility
being one means to provide accessibility to buildings.
This standard is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100 (all parts).
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are
indicated in the scope of this standard.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A and type B
standards the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards,
for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.
The lifting platforms defined in this standard are suitable for type A and type B wheelchairs as defined
in EN 12183 and/or EN 12184.
Those items relevant to lifting platforms referenced within EN 81-70 have been included within this standard.
This standard does not only address the essential health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive,
but additionally states minimum rules for the installation of lifting platforms into buildings/constructions. There
may be in some countries regulations for the construction of building etc. which cannot be ignored.
It is essential that minimum passageways conform to national building regulations and are not obstructed by
any open door or trap and/or any protection means provided for working areas outside of the enclosed liftway
where fitted according to the maintenance instructions.
