- the building design limits the flow of water into the lift well;
- the firefighters lift is not used as an escape route;
- the lift well and the lift environment are fire protected for at least to the same level as the building structure;
- the power supply is secure and reliable;
- the electrical cable(s) providing power to the lift is fire protected to the same fire protection level as given to the lift well structure;
- a suitable maintenance and verification plan is implemented.
1.3 This document does not cover:
- the use of lifts with partially enclosed wells for use as firefighters lifts;
- lifts installed in new or existing buildings, which are not included in fire resisting building structure;
- important modification to existing lifts.
1.4 This document does not define:
- the number of firefighters lifts and the floors to be served during firefighting operations;
- size of safe area(s);
- the use of other than the highest deck of a multi deck lift for firefighting operations.
1.5 This document deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to firefighters lifts (as listed in Clause 4) when they are used as intended and under the conditions as foreseen by the installer.
1.6 The following significant hazards are not dealt with in this document and are assumed to be addressed by the building designer:
- not having enough or correctly located firefighters lifts to move the firefighters up the building;
- a fire in the firefighters lift well, safe area, machinery space or car;

Introduction
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010.
Firefighters lifts are used to bring the firefighters and their equipment to the required floors.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are
covered is indicated in the scope of this document.
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 lifts that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.
The following assumptions were made in writing this document.
Negotiations have been made between the owner, customer, building designers, fire authorities or
other relevant bodies and installer concerning:
a) the intended use of the lift;
b) environmental conditions;
c) civil engineering problems;
d) interfaces between the lift and the building management system (BMS) or fire detection system;
e) the firefighting strategy;
f) smoke management, e.g. pressurizing system impact to the lift system such as sway of travelling
cables and operation of landing doors;
g) water management, and where applicable, the highest permissible water level in the pit, e.g. 0,5 m;
h) other aspects related to the place of the installation and the rescue of persons from within the car;
i) power supply including regenerative power during secondary power supply operation;
j) size of safe area(s);
k) the need for an additional firefighters
