Introduction

Background
More than 4 million lifts are in use today in EU and EFTA and almost 50 % were installed more than 25 years ago.
Existing lifts were installed to the safety level appropriate at that time. This level is less than today’s state of the art
lifts built to EN 81-1 or EN 81-2, offering already a reasonable degree of protection against vandalism.

Furthermore the life cycle of a lift is longer than most other transportation systems and building equipment, which
therefore means that lift design, performance, safety and resistance against vandalism can fall behind modern
technologies. If existing lifts are not upgraded to today's state of the art of safety and/or protection against
vandalism the number of incidents will increase.

This document provides guidance to building owners addressing in particular existing lifts installed in buildings
where it is considered additional security or other measures may be required to protect against the risk of
vandalism. The building owner will need to consider the extent of additional protection required, as covered by the
enclosed proposals, which may be adopted according to the environment in which the lift installation is situated and
the type of vandalism that is likely to be experienced.

This document is based upon and referring to EN 81-71:2005 and addresses additional protective measures
against deliberate acts that may result in equipment damage or injury to persons.

Approach
This Technical Specification

 defines the categories of vandalism according to EN 81-71:2005, Annex A, taking into account the existing
environment and the likelihood of persons acting as a vandal;

 categorises various hazards and hazardous situations, each of which has been analysed by a risk
assessment;

 is intended to provide corrective actions to progressively and selectively improve, step by step, the level of
vandal resistance of existing passenger and goods passenger lifts towards today’s state of the art;

 enables each lift to be audited and measures against vandalism to be identified and implemented in a step by
step and selective fashion;

 lists the high, medium and low priorities and corrective actions which can be applied in separate steps in order
to eliminate the risks.

Other designs to previous national regulations or standards, providing they have an equivalent safety level, may be
acceptable.

Use
This Technical Specification can be used as a guideline for:
a) national authorities to determine its own programme of implementation in a step by step process via a filtering
process (see Annex A) in a reasonable and practicable1) way based on the priorities level (high, medium, low)
and social and economic considerations;

1) "Reasonable and practicable” is defined as follows: “In deciding what is reasonably practicable the seriousness of a risk to
injury should be weighted against the difficulty and cost of removing or reducing that risk. Where the difficulty and costs are
high, and a careful assessment of the risk shows it to be comparatively unimportant, action may not need to be taken. On the
other hand where the risk is high, action should be taken at whatever cost.”

 DD CEN/TS 81-83:2009
CEN/TS 81-83:2009 (E)

b) owners to follow their responsibilities according to existing regulations;

c) maintenance companies and/or inspection bodies to inform the owners on the vandal resistance level of their
installations;
d) owners to upgrade the existing lifts on a voluntary basis in accordance with c) if no regulations exist.
In making an audit of an existing lift installation Annex B can be used to identify the deviations to the state of the art
and corrective actions in this Technical Specification.
However, where a situation is identified not covered in this Technical Specification a separate risk assessment
should be made. This risk assessment should be based on ISO 14798 [1].

Annex A
(informative)

Method for implementation of TS 81-83

All technical solutions for improvement of vandal resistance of existing lifts to the state-of-the-art are listed in
Clause 5 of this document. Although immediate upgrading of existing lifts which are exposed to vandalism would be
sensible from the safety point of view this may not be possible to be realised in a short period of time mainly for
economic reasons.
The procedures described in this annex are intended to assist in setting up programs on a voluntary basis for
increasing the vandal resistance of existing lifts by showing how to identify and evaluate vulnerable elements of an
existing lift and how to select risk reduction measures by priority levels.

A.1 Categorisation of the lift

Clarification of the existing environment and the likelihood of persons acting as a vandal, enable the owner of the
lift to define the category according to EN 81-71:2005, Annex A. This annex also gives guidance on how vandalism
in general can be reduced by external influences due to observation, the way in accessing the lift, appearance,
performance of the lift, etc. These elements may be taken into consideration before or in addition to a modification
of the lift.

A.2 Identification of deficiencies

Annex B contains a checklist which can be used for identification of the deficiencies relative to an individual lift. This
list contains all safety measures indicated in Clause 5 of this Technical Specification. There may be additional
deficiencies for very old lifts or lifts with special technology which are not covered by this document. In these cases
additional risk assessments are necessary for the lifts in question.
The identification of the deficiencies can be carried out in the course of any periodical survey or special
examination on a given installation, but only technically competent and sufficiently trained persons should be
allowed to carry out these examinations.
Checking the vandal resistance on an existing lift may require additional testing which could lead to damages of
some components. In such cases testing of similar products in other locations or other methods of evaluation may
be used in order to proof compliance with the requirements of Clause 5.

A.3 Selection of risk reduction measures by priority levels

Table A.1 shows a minimum level of improvements to be fulfilled according to EN 81-80 in order to achieve
Category 0 according to EN 81-71:2005. For lifts with Category 1 or Category 2 the checklist in Annex B indicates
the priorities of protective measures for improving the vandal resistance. It is recommended to select the measures
with priority level high first in order to achieve an essential improvement of vandal resistance. Priority levels
medium or low may be selected at a later stage, e.g. in combination with a modernisation of the lift and/or
replacement of components.
Existing lifts might already fully or nearly comply with many requirements of this Technical Specification even if
earlier local regulations did not contain relevant requirements. In such cases the priority levels may be lowered or
even the requirement being considered as fulfilled.
The priority levels in the checklist are defined in accordance with safety considerations only. However,
implementation of measures to improve the vandal resistance is also a question of economic considerations and
technical feasibility. Therefore preference should be given to measures which are reasonable and practical and/or
which are of high priority.
