Foreword
This document (EN 81-43:2009) 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text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2009, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn
at the latest by December 2009.
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 is part of the EN 81 series of standards: "Safety rules for the construction and installation of
lifts". This is the first edition.
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 EU Directives 98/37/EC and
2006/42/EC.
For relationship with EU Directives, see informative Annexes ZA and ZB, which are integral parts 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
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
This document is one of a series of standards produced by CEN/TC 10/SC 1 as part of the CEN programme
of work to produce machinery safety standards.
This document is a Type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2003.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events are
covered are indicated in the scope of this standard.
This document gives details for the complete installation.
In order to achieve a safe installation of a lift on a crane negotiations shall take place between the
manufacturer of the lift and the crane user organisation about the interfaces (e.g. lift way protection,
supporting structure, power supplies, suitability of alarm devices) regarding the responsibility for the supply of
these requirements.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or 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."
1 Scope
1.1 This document specifies the safety requirements for the construction and installation of power operated
lifts attached to cranes and intended for access to workplaces on cranes, by authorised persons. This includes
intended use, erection, dismantling, inspection and maintenance. The lift serves defined landing levels and
has a load carrying unit which is:
a) designed for the transportation of persons and goods;
b) guided;
c) travelling vertically or along a path within 15 degrees maximum from the vertical;
d) supported by rack and pinion or suspended by steel wire ropes;
e) travelling with a speed not more than 1,0 m/s for permanent lifts and not more than 0,4 m/s for temporary
lifts.
1.2 This document identifies hazards as listed in Clause 4 which arise during the various phases in the life
of such equipment and describes methods for the elimination or reduction of these hazards when used as
intended by the manufacturer.
1.3 This document does not specify the additional requirements for:
a) operation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme climates, strong magnetic fields);
b) lightning protection;
c) operation subject to special rules (e.g. potentially explosive atmospheres);
NOTE Directive 94/9/EC concerning equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive
atmospheres can be applicable to the type of machine or equipment covered by this European Standard. The present
standard is not intended to provide means of complying with the essential health and safety requirements of Directive
94/9/EC.
d) electromagnetic compatibility (emission, immunity);
e) handling of loads the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations;
f) the use of combustion engines;
g) hydraulic drive units;
h) hazards occurring during manufacturing process;
i) hazards occurring as a result of being erected over a public road;
j) earthquakes;
k) noise (see also Directive on noise emissions from machines used outdoors (2000/14/EC)).
