BS EN 81-71 provides guidance to the building designer, customer, etc and provides requirements for design where it is considered that additional security or other measures may be required in order to protect against the risk of vandalism.
Lifts built to BS EN 81-1 and BS EN 81-2 offer a reasonable degree of protection against carelessness or rough use. This document addresses additional protective measures against deliberate acts that may result in equipment damage or injury to persons.
This European Standard gives additional requirements in order to ensure the safety of lift users and the availability of lifts, which may be used for vandal resistant purposes. In all other respects such lifts are designed in accordance with BS EN 81–1, including Amendment A2 or BS EN 81-2, including Amendment A2. This standard deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to lifts which can be affected by vandalism when they are used under the conditions as foreseen by the installer.
This standard does not cover building security or Category O lifts.
