Firefighter lift according to EN81-72:2015

Generalities
A firefighter lift according to this CBO is fully compliant with the EN81-72:2015 on condition that the building conforms to the
following requirements :

• 0.4 : A firefighter lift is located within a fire protected environment

• 0.5 : Negotiations have been made between the owner, customer, building designers, fire authorities or other relevant
bodies and installer concerning:
o the intended use of the lift
o environmental conditions
o civil engineering problems
o other aspects related to the place of the installation and the rescue of persons from within cars
• 1.3: This European Standard does not cover:
o the use of lifts with partially enclosed wells for use as firefighters lifts
o lifts installed in new or existing buildings, which are not included in fire resisting building structure
o important modification to existing lifts

However, this standard may usefully be used as a basis.

• 5.1.1 : The firefighters lift is located in a well with a fire protected lobby in front of every landing door. The area of each
protected lobby is given by the requirements for the transportation of stretchers and the location of the doors in each
single case

If there are other lifts in the same well, then the entire common well shall fulfill the fire resistance requirements of
firefighters lift wells. This level of fire resistance shall also apply to the protected lobby doors. Where there is no
intermediate fire wall to separate the firefighters lift from other lifts in a common well then all lifts and their electrical
equipment must have the same protection as the firefighters lift, to ensure the correct functioning of the firefighters lift

WARNING

If there is no fire wall between the firefighter lift and the other lifts in a same hoistway, it is possible to order the
necessary protections for the electrical equipment for the other lifts

• 5.3.1: Electrical equipment within the firefighters lift well below the highest landing level located within 1,0 m of any wall
containing a landing door and on the car roof and around outer sides of the car walls shall be protected against
dripping and spraying water coming from an upper landing with enclosures classified to at least IPX3 according to EN
60529. See Annex D. Electrical equipment within the firefighters lift well below the highest landing level located more
than 1,0 m away from a wall containing a landing door shall be protected against dripping water coming from an upper
landing with enclosures classified to at least IPX1 according to EN 60529. See Annex D.
• 5.3.2: Any electrical equipment which is located less than 1,0 m above the lift pit floor shall be protected to IP67. The
socket outlet and lowest lamp of the lighting of the well shall be located at least 0,5 m above the highest permissible
water level in the pit. See Annex D. NOTE The highest permissible water level in the pit is set by negotiation and
assumed to be no greater than 0,5 m.
• 5.3.3: Electrical equipment in machinery spaces outside of the well shall be protected from malfunction caused by
water.
• 5.3.4: Permanent means, such as measures such as defined in E.2, are strongly preferred and should be provided to
effectively prevent water ingress into the lift well. Where such adequate measures are not provided, measures such as
in E.3 shall:

- ensure that the water level in the pit will not rise above the level of the fully compressed car buffer; and
- prevent the water level in the pit from reaching equipment which could create a malfunction of the firefighters lift. See
1.2.

• 5.3.5: The car roof shall be designed to prevent accumulating water and facilitate controlled draining from the roof.
Electrical equipment within the car roof and outer walls shall be classified to at least IPX3 according to EN 60529.
• 5.4.1.1: An emergency trap door shall be fitted to the car roof with minimum clear opening dimensions of 0,5 m x 0,7 m
with the exception, for a 630 kg lift, of 0,4 m x 0,5 m. Clear opening dimensions shall be measured with the ladder in
the rescue position as defined in 5.4.2.3.
• 5.4.2.3: Where a moveable ladder is provided for rescue procedures between the car and the car roof, its length shall
be at least 1 m longer than the height of the car and shall be on the shorter side of the emergency trap door opening.

Product Administration

• 5.4.2.4: The length of a moveable ladder for rescue procedures between the car roof and the landing shall be such as
to enable the firefighter to release the landing door lock mechanism of the next floor from the car, in order to enable a
firefighter to get off the roof of the car. The maximum length of moveable ladders is 6 m. The ladder shall not rest
against landing doors and shall be supported from suitable points on the car roof. The landing door(s) shall be possible
to be opened by one hand.
• 5.8.7: Phase 1: Priority recall for the firefighters lift

This phase can be manually or automatically initiated.

This initiation shall ensure the following:
f) a visual signal shown in Figure G.1 and located in the car operating panel shall be activated. The visual signal shall
remain activated until the lift is restored to normal operation;
g) an audible signal shall sound on the car and in relevant machinery spaces immediately when Phase 1 is initiated
and the lift is under inspection operation, emergency electrical operation or any maintenance control. The sound level
of the audible warning shall be adjustable between 35 dB(A) and 65 dB(A), set at 55 dB(A). The audible signal shall be
cancelled when the firefighters lift is removed from inspection operation, emergency electrical operation or any
maintenance control and the firefighters lift shall automatically continue Phase 1 operation;

• 5.11.2: The car controls, position indicator inside the car, position indicator at the fire service access level and the
firefighters lift switch shall be protected to at least IPX3 according to EN 60529.
