Overview

ISO/TS 8100-22:2024 is a Technical Specification from ISO that defines prerequisites for certification of new lifts (the document uses the term “lift” instead of “elevator”), model lifts, lift components and lift functions. Published in 2024 as part of the ISO 8100 series, it describes the process applicants must follow before applying for third‑party certification and details the required technical compliance documentation (TCD), risk assessment criteria and implementation of global safety requirements.

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope and purpose: Establishes what must be completed before submitting a certification application for lifts, model lifts, lift components or lift functions.
  • Process steps (applicant responsibilities):
    • Define the object of safety assessment and its safety‑relevant characteristics.
    • Identify and implement applicable Global Essential Safety Requirements (GESRs).
    • Conduct risk assessment in accordance with ISO 14798 and document results.
    • Eliminate or mitigate risks using protective measures and Global Safety Parameters (GSPs) (see ISO/TS 8100-21).
    • Produce and submit the Technical Compliance Documentation (TCD) to a Lift Certification Body (LCB).
    • Provide representative specimens or installed lifts for assessment; apply marking per Annex A.
  • Risk acceptance criteria:
    • No risks equivalent to Risk Group I (unacceptable).
    • Risks equivalent to Risk Group II require review for additional safeguards.
    • Risks at Risk Group III require no further action.
  • Technical Compliance Documentation (TCD):
    • Must describe design, operation and intended use sufficiently to verify conformity to GESRs.
    • For model lifts or ranges, specify all permitted variations and demonstrate similarity (drawings, calculations or descriptions).
  • Lifecycle and maintenance: Protective measures must be preserved through the lift life cycle and documented for inspection, testing, rescue, maintenance and repair.

Practical applications and target users

This standard is practical for organizations involved in lift safety, certification and conformity assessment:

  • Manufacturers and designers preparing products for certification and market access.
  • Installers and authorized representatives responsible for final erection and commissioning.
  • Certification bodies (LCBs) and conformity assessors applying ISO/TS 8100-23 certification procedures.
  • Suppliers of lift components and functions seeking documented compliance.
  • Regulators and asset owners who require documented safety assurance for innovative designs or series‑produced model lifts.

Using ISO/TS 8100-22 supports structured, performance‑based safety assessment and helps streamline certification of novel lift technologies while aligning with quality systems (e.g., ISO 9001).

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

Introduction
0.1  The objective of the ISO 8100 series of performance-based documents is stated in the Introduction to
ISO 8100-20 and ISO/TS 8100-21.
0.2  ISO 8100-20 has established global essential safety requirements (GESRs) for lifts (elevators) by
addressing hazards and safety risks that may be encountered on a lift (elevator). The GESRs state safety
objectives that a lift (elevator) should achieve.
0.3  ISO/TS 8100-21 sets criteria for achieving conformity with safety requirements of GESRs by specifying
global safety parameters (GSPs) that should be used and implemented, where applicable, in a lift (elevator)
to eliminate hazards or mitigate safety risks addressed in the GESRs.
0.4  This document sets prerequisite requirements that must be fulfilled before applying for certification in
accordance with ISO/TS 8100-23.
0.5  ISO/TS 8100-23 sets procedures for certification of lifts, model lifts, lift components and lift functions,
and supplements related requirements of ISO/IEC 17065 for certification bodies for lifts (LCBs).
0.6  The ISO 8100 series of performance-based documents provides a process for conformity assessment
and certification of lifts, model lifts, lift components and lift functions with the safety requirements specified
in ISO 8100-20. It includes a structured methodology for establishing, documenting and demonstrating that
necessary and appropriate protective measures are taken to eliminate hazards or sufficiently mitigate
risks. This process is particularly useful for establishing safety of lifts, model lifts, lift components and
lift functions involving innovative design or new technologies. If one is using the process, ISO 8100-20,
ISO 8100-21, ISO 8100-22, ISO 8100-23 of the ISO 8100 series should be used.
0.7  This document assumes that the applicant (see 3.1) uses a quality management system, e.g. ISO 9001.
Assessment of conformity to the ISO 8100 series of performance-based documents does not imply conformity
to the quality management system.
