EN 81-20 and EN 81-50 Standards for Safety and Accessibility

Two new European standards for elevator cab design and manufacture will bring considerable benefits in terms of accessibility and safety for both passengers and service technicians.


The first, EN 81-20:2014, sets out revised and updated safety requirements for the construction and installation of elevators. The second, EN 81-50:2014, defines the test and examination requirements for certain lift components.


The new standards also clarify and improve the current building interface requirements. They replace the current EN 81-1 and EN 81-2 standards introduced in 1998, and all lifts taken into use after 29 November 2019 will be required to comply with the requirements of the new building standards.
