1. INTRODUCTION

This ESYD Guidance presents the main points of the Directive 95/16/EC, with an emphasis
on the obligations of the manufacturer and the notified body, in order to identify the critical
points in the conformity assessment procedure and to facilitate the accreditation procedure
of bodies to be notified.

In any case, the involved parties shall be informed fully with the provisions of this Directive,
the applicable standards, as well as with the relevant Guidelines issued by the European
Commission and being available on the web page www.newapproach.org.

This Guidance supplements Guidance Document EA-2/17, regarding the requirements for
the assessment of organizations with the purpose of notification.

In addition, this ESYD Guidance is applicable to periodic inspections of lifts, contains both
application guidelines for certification and inspection bodies in the process of being
accredited or having been accredited by ESYD, but also for ESYD assessors and refers inter
alia to:

• Qualifications of auditors / inspectors of certification and inspection


bodies for lifts.

• The content of initial and periodic inspection of lifts installations.

• Equipment and instruments for the inspection of lifts installations.

• The determination of the minimum required time for initial and


periodic inspection of lifts.

• Certificates and declarations of conformity which must be issued or


considered by the certification or / and inspection bodies for lifts
installation.

• The legislation and application of technical specifications depending on


the year of installation (year of granting of the certificate of inspection
body or issuance of the operating license or registration act or
authorization of lift installation or building permit of the building on
which the installation of the lift has been performed).

2. DEFINITIONS

Lift inspection means the process of carrying out standard inspections and tests on the
lift, intended to verify its conformity with safety specifications (regulations and standards).

Existing lift is characterized each lift that has been in operation and is in use, regardless of
the year of installation.

Initial inspection of lift means the inspection of a new lift by an accredited/notified body,
before it is placed on the market and is put into use.

Periodic inspection of lift means the regular inspection of an existing lift by an


accredited/recognized body.

Lifts conformity assessment procedures


The Lifts Directive includes the typical conformity assessment modules, common in all New
Approach Directives, as they are presented below:

ANNEX V
EC type-examination (module B)
a. EC type-examination of safety components
b. EC type-examination of lifts

ANNEX VI
Final inspection

ANNEX VIII
Product quality assurance (module E) of safety components

ANNEX IX
Full quality assurance (module H) of safety components

ANNEX XI
Conformity to type with random checking (module C) of safety components

ANNEX X
Unit verification (module G) of lifts

ANNEX XII
Product quality assurance for lifts (module E)

ANNEX XIII
Full quality assurance for lifts (module H)

ANNEX XIV
Production quality assurance for lifts (module D)

The selection of modules is made as follows:

A. the manufacturer selects the module/annex to be applied for the conformity assessment
of safety components as shown below:

Design phase Production phase Annex/module


EC type-examination Conformity to type with random V (module B) &
checking XI (module C)
EC type-examination Product quality assurance V (module Β) &
VIII (module Ε)
Full quality assurance * IX (module Η)

ESYD G-LIFTS/01/04/16-1-2014 5/124


Hellenic Accreditation System

B. The installer selects the module/annex to be applied for the conformity assessment
relating to lifts as shown below:

Design phase Production phase Annex/module


EC type-examination Final inspection V (module B) & VI
EC type-examination Product quality assurance V (module B) & XII (module E)
EC type-examination Production quality assurance V (module B) & XIV (module D)
Unit verification X (module G)
Full quality assurance * XIII (module H)

C. Since the full quality assurance procedure as set out in annex XIII can be applied both in
the design and installation phase and only in the design phase, it is possible for the person
who performs only the design and construction and not the installation to have the full
quality assurance system approval.
Therefore the installer selects the module/annex (production phase) to be applied for the
conformity assessment relating to lifts as shown below:

Design phase Production phase Annex/module

Full quality assurance * Final inspection XIII (module H) & VI

Full quality assurance * Product quality assurance XIII (module H) & XII (module E)

Full quality assurance * Production quality assurance XIII (module H) & XIV (module
D)

In this case, the designer of the lift (design phase) shall provide all documentation to the
installer to ensure the correctness and completeness of the final inspection of the
installation, including the documentation of design inspection, in accordance with paragraph
3.3 of annex XIII.

The manufacturer or the person responsible for installation, respectively, in each case draws
up the declaration of conformity.

* supplemented by an examination of the design, if the latter is not wholly in accordance with the
harmonized standards.

ESSENTIAL HEALTH AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO THE DESIGN


AND CONSTRUCTION OF LIFTS AND SAFETY COMPONENTS

ESYD G-LIFTS/01/04/16-1-2014 20/124


Hellenic Accreditation System

Obligations under essential health and safety requirements apply only where the lift or
safety component is subject to the hazard in question when the specific lift or safety
component is used as intended by the installer of the lift or the manufacturer of the safety
components.

The safety-component manufacturer and the installer of the lift are under an obligation to
assess the hazards in order to identify all those which apply to their products; they must
then design and construct them taking account of the assessment.

In accordance with Article 14, the essential requirements laid down in Directive 89/106/EEC,
not included in this Directive, apply to lifts.

Where the relevant hazard exists and is not dealt with in this Annex, the essential health
and safety requirements of Annex I to Directive 89/392/EEC apply.

1. CAR

The car must be designed and constructed to offer the space and strength corresponding to
the maximum number of persons and the rated load of the lift set by the installer.

Where the lift is intended for the transport of persons, and where its dimensions permit, the
car must be designed and constructed in such a way that its structural features do not
obstruct or impede access and use by disabled persons and so as to allow any appropriate
adjustments intended to facilitate its use by them.

Means of suspension and means of support

The means of suspension and/or support of the car, its attachments and any terminal parts
thereof must be selected and designed so as to ensure an adequate level of overall safety
and to minimize the risk of the car falling, taking into account the conditions of use, the
materials used and the conditions of manufacture.

Where ropes or chains are used to suspend the car, there must be at least two independent
cables or chains, each with its own anchorage system. Such ropes and chains must have
no joins or splices except where necessary for fixing or forming a loop.

Control of loading (including over speed)

Lifts must be so designed, constructed and installed as to prevent normal starting if the
rated load is exceeded.

Lifts must be equipped with an over speed governor. These requirements do not apply to
lifts in which the design of the drive system prevents over speed.

Fast lifts must be equipped with a speed-monitoring and speed-limiting device.

Lifts driven by friction pulleys must be designed so as to ensure stability of the traction
cables on the pulley.

……………………………………………….

Controls

ESYD G-LIFTS/01/04/16-1-2014 21/124


Hellenic Accreditation System

1.6.1. The controls of lifts intended for use by unaccompanied disabled persons must be
designed and located accordingly.

1.6.2. The function of the controls must be clearly indicated.

1.6.3. The call circuits of a group of lifts may be shared or interconnected.

1.6.4. Electrical equipment must be so installed and connected that:

- there can be no possible confusion with circuits which do not have any direct
connection with the lift,

- the power supply can be switched while on load,

- movements of the lift are dependent on electrical safety devices in a separate


electrical safety circuit,

- a fault in the electrical installation does not give rise to a dangerous situation.

2. HAZARDS TO PERSONS OUTSIDE THE CAR

2.1. The lift must be designed and constructed to ensure that the space in which the car
travels is inaccessible except for maintenance or in emergencies. Before a person enters
that space, normal use of the lift must be made impossible.

2.2. The lift must be designed and constructed to prevent the risk of crushing when the car
is in one of its extreme positions.

The objective will be achieved by means of free space or refuge beyond the extreme
positions.

………………………………….

3. HAZARDS TO PERSONS IN THE CAR

3.1. …………………………………

The doors of the car must remain closed and interlocked if the lift stops between two levels
where there is a risk of a fall between the car and the shaft or if there is no shaft or where
there is no shaft.

3.2. In the event of a power cut or failure of components the lift must have devices to
prevent free fall or uncontrolled upward movements of the car.

………………………………….

4. OTHER HAZARDS

………………………………………..

ESYD G-LIFTS/01/04/16-1-2014 22/124


Hellenic Accreditation System

4.2. Landing doors, where they have to contribute to the protection of the building against
fire, including those with glass parts, must be suitably resistant to fire in terms of their
integrity and their properties with regard to insulation (containment of flames) and the
transmission of heat (thermal radiation).

4.3. Counterweights must be so installed as to avoid any risk of colliding with or falling on to
the car.

4.4. Lifts must be equipped with means enabling people trapped in the car to be released
and evacuated.

4.5. Cars must be fitted with two-way means of communication allowing permanent contact
with a rescue service.

……………………………………………………….

4.7. Cars must be designed and constructed to ensure sufficient ventilation for passengers,
even in the event of a prolonged stoppage.

4.8. The car should be adequately lit whenever in use or whenever a door is opened; there
must also be emergency lighting.

4.9. The means of communication referred to in Section 4.5 and the emergency lighting
referred to in Section 4.8 must be designed and constructed so as to function even without
the normal power supply. Their period of operation should be long enough to allow normal
operation of the rescue procedure.

………………………………………………..

6. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

6.1. The safety components referred to in Annex IV must be accompanied by an instruction


manual drawn up in an official language of the Member State of the lift installer or another
Community language acceptable to him, so that:

- assembly,

- connection,

- adjustment, and

- maintenance, can be carried out effectively and without danger.
