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.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.

revised.

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 can 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  ISO/TS 8100-22 sets prerequisite requirements that must be fulfilled before applying for certification
in accordance with this document.
0.5  This document 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).
Clauses 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 specify the application of ISO IEC 17065.
Clauses and subclauses, indicated in parentheses, supplement and clarify the corresponding requirements
of ISO/IEC 17065.
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 and ISO 8100-23 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.
