BS EN 81-28:2003

This European Standard applies to alarm systems for all types of passenger and goods passenger lifts, in particular those covered by the BS EN 81 series of standards.

This standard covers the minimum information given to the owner of the installation relating to maintenance and rescue service.

This standard also deals with the significant hazards relevant to lifts when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the installer/manufacturer including entrapment of users due to the lift not working properly.

This standard is not applicable to alarm systems intended to be used to call for help in other cases, e.g. heart attack, seeking information.

This standard may be taken into account when applied to existing lifts.
