This European standard specifies the requirements for the accessibility of new lifts serving defined landing levels, having a car designed for the transportation of persons, and moving along guide rails inclined at an angle of more then 15degrees to the horizontal. NOTE: This standard may be used as guidance for upgrading existing lifts in line with the recommandation of the European Commission dated 8th of June, 1995 (95/216/EC) concerning improvements to safety of existing lifts. This European standard describes three sizes of lifts offering different levels of accessibility to wheelchair users.
