The establishment of a unified European market, to achieve the free flow of goods, you need to unify the basic security requirements of the product. In this regard, the EU has explored a very successful path, which can provide useful reference for each country and region.
  Commission and the Council issued instructions, technical regulations are typical. 1985 promulgated the "technical coordination and standardization method", referred to as the "new method"". The "new approach" directive covers the areas of simple pressure vessels, toy safety, medical equipment, telecommunications equipment, low-voltage electrical appliances and other areas that directly relate to personal safety and health. In these areas, the European Union, through the establishment of technical regulations, that the EU's new approach Directive provides for the basic technical requirements in these areas of the product.
  According to the basic requirements of technical regulations, formulate the corresponding standard or used as a secondary product specifications. Commissioned CEN and CENELEC to develop the standard, known as the harmonization of standards. The European Union on the coordination of the relevant standards and directives to inform, and to recognize that it meets the requirements of its notification standards, but also in line with the relevant requirements of the directive.
  Instruction in the new method the EU also provides covered product conformity assessment mode. The main line of technical regulations, standards and conformity assessment procedures in the European Union's new approach directive is organically combined with the main line of the directive.
  And elevator related instructions three:
  - Directive 95/16/EC relating to Lifts. 95/16/EC lift instruction
  - Directive 98/37/EC relating to Machinery. 98/37/EC machinery
  - Directive 89/336/EC relating to Electromagnetic compatibility 89/336/EC electromagnetic compatibility
  And escalators and moving instructions is three:
  - Directive 98/37/EC relating to Machinery.98/37/EC machinery
  - Directive 89/336/EC relating to Electromagnetic compatibility 89/336/EC electromagnetic compatibility
  - The Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC (and subsequent amendments) 73/23/EEC low voltage electrical instructions.
  European Standardization Technical Committee (CEN) in mechanical safety, lift and conformity assessment and other aspects of walking in the forefront of the world. Which is responsible for the development of the elevator standard is TC10, and CEN/TC 10 escalators, and moving walks Lifts elevator, escalator and moving sidewalk. It was founded in 1971, consists of 7 working groups and 1 sub technical committee:
  WG 1 Lifts and service lifts lift and service ladder
  WG 2 Escalators and passenger conveyors automatic escalator and autowalk
  WG 4 Data logging and remote control data acquisition and remote control
  WG Fire fighting lifts 6 firefighters lift
  WG 8 Stairlifts and vertical platforms for disabled for the elevator and the stairs vertical lifting platform
  WG 9 Inclined lifts tilt lift
  WG 10 Safety rules for the progressive improvement of safety of existing lifts gradually increased in the elevator safety rules
  Sub-committee 1 Building hoists construction elevator
  Lift CEN/TC 10 standard formulation of the main:
  EN 81 Safety rules for the construction and installation of lifts series of elevator manufacturing and installation safety specification
  EN 81-1: 1998 Part 1: Electric lifts /A2: 2004 lift
  EN 81-2: 1998 Part 2: Hydraulic lifts /A2: 2004 hydraulic elevator
  EN 81-3: 2000 Part 3 Electric and hydraulic service: lifts service ladder
  EN 81-28: 2003 Part 28: Remote alarm for passenger and goods passenger lifts passenger and cargo elevator remote alarm device
  EN 81-58: 2003 Part 58: Landing door fire test door fire test
  EN 81-70: 2003 Part 70: Accessibility to lifts for persons including persons with disability /A2: 2004 elevator accessibility
  EN 81-71: 2005 Part 71: Vandal resistant lifts anti vandalism elevator
  EN 81-72: 2003 Part 72: Fire-fighters lifts fireman lift
  EN 81-73: 2005 Part 73 of lifts in the: behaviour event of fire in the fire performance of elevator
  EN 115:98 Safety rules for the construction and installation of escalators and passenger conveyors /A2: 2004
  Safety rules for the construction and installation of escalators and moving walkways, the standard has two amendment, and our equivalent of not doing any revision, the standard has the latest version.
  EN 12015: 2004 Electromagnetic compatibility - Product family standard for lifts, escalators and moving walks - Emission - emission electromagnetic compatibility
  EN 12016: 2004 Electromagnetic compatibility - Product family standard for lifts escalators and moving walks - compatible immune - Electromagnetic Immunity
  EN 12158-1: 2000  Builders hoists for goods – Part 1: Hoists with accessible platforms
  EN 12158-2: 2000  Builders hoists for goods – Part 2 : Inclined hoists with non-accessible load carrying devices
  EN 12159: 2000  Builders hoists for persons and materials with vertically guided cages
  EN 13015: 2001  Maintenance for lifts and escalators: Rules for maintenance instructions Rules for maintenance instructions elevator maintenance specification
  At present, the EN elevator standard has been widely recognized around the world, our country's elevator, escalator and automatic personnel road and other basic standards are equivalent to the EN standard. This strategy is very correct, not only to quickly improve the level of China's elevator technology, but also for the rapid integration of China's elevator industry has laid the foundation for.
  Overall, whether it is the international organization for standardization ISO, ASME or EN in Europe, the lift standards had formed a relatively complete system, the standard is divided into different levels, and the coordination between the standards, this value is our very good reference. Understanding and mastering the elevator standards can be a wide field of vision, this article on the meaning of the standard and the international standard of the elevator to do a simple introduction, hope to help the elevator industry.
