 Lifts:
• A vertical transport equipment that efficiently moves people between floors
(levels, deck) of a building, vessel or other structure
• Generally powered by electric motor that drive by traction cable and
counterweight systems like a hoist or hydraulic pump.

INDUSTRY STANDARDS
ISO 22201-1:2017 is applicable to the product family of passenger and
goods/passenger lifts used in residential buildings, offices, hospitals, hotels, industrial
plants, etc.
NOTE Within this document, the UK term "lift" is used throughout instead of the US
term "elevator".
ISO 22201-1:2017 is also applicable for PESSRAL that are new or deviate from those
described in this document.

ignorance on the applicable standards and codes for lifts and escalators has
challenged some in the Indian elevator and escalator (E&E) industry, as well as users.
This confusion was evident during the seminar by Prakash Bachani, director of the
ETD Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), at the IEEEXPO 2008. With an estimated 300-
400 E&E companies, this is worrisome.
The other document referred to is the National Building Code of India 2005, Part 8,
Section 5: Installation of Lifts and Escalators.
Imported equipment normally must adhere to EN 81/EN 115, Japanese Industrial
Standards, etc.

1.Population : Population is calculated based on occupancy type of the building

Type Occupancy area/per person

Residential 12.5
Educational 4
Institutional 15

(a)Dance floor 0.6
(b)Dinning 1.5
Business 10
Mercantile
(a)With basement 3
(b)With shops on uppers 6

Storage 30
Hazardous 10
Above area per person is gross area of the floor in square meters. In case of office
building 75% of the inherent occupancy is expected to arrive in time (period of ½
hr. before opening time which peak traffic period also).
 .Quantity of Service : The quantity of service is a measure of the
passenger handling capacity of a vertical transport system. It is
measured in terms of the total number of passengers handled
during each five minutes peak period of the day.

.Quality of Service : The quality of service on the other hand is

generally measured by the passenger waiting time of the various
floors. Quality of service or Acceptable interval:

20 to 25 seconds Excellent
30 to 35 seconds Good
35 to 40 seconds Fair

Handling Capacity & RTT : The handling capacity is calculated by the formula:
H = (300 x Q x 100)/T x P
Where H = Handling capacity as the percentage of the peak population
handled during 5 min. Q = Average number of passengers carried in a car
T = waiting interval, and P = Total population to be handled during peak morning
period. (It is related to the area by a particular bank of lifts) The value of ‘Q’ depends
on the dimensions of the car. It may be noted that the capacity loaded always to its
maximum capacity during each trip and, therefore, for calculate the value of ‘Q’ is
taken as 80% of the maximum carry capacity of the car.
 The waiting interval is calculated by the
formula : T = RTT/N Where,
T = waiting interval
N = number of lifts, and

Capacity : Minimum size of car recommended for a single purpose

building is one suitable duty load of 884 Kg. For large building car 2040
Kg. according to requirement.

Speed : It is dependent upon quality of service required and the quality of

service desired. Therefore, no set formulae for indicating the speed can be
given.
Recommended Speeds : The following are general guidelines
Office Building Residential Building

2. Above 6 floors 0.75 MPS
Note: (1) For passenger cum gods lifts speed shall be followed as that of
passenger lifts. (2) Actual speed shall be worked out on the basis of traffic
analysis.
Calculation of R.T.T. The most probable number of floors on which lift may have to
be stopped is given by statistical formula:
Sn = n [ 1-(n-1)/n)Np]
Where Np= Total number of passengers entering the car at ground floor (Entrance Lobby)
during peak period which is equal to car capacity. n = Total number of floors served above
ground floor. Sn = Most probable number of stops.
 (a)Entrance Lobby Time : This consists of door opening, car
loading, door closing time and acceleration at entrance lobby
generally ground floor plus retardation time (while returning from
top).
(b)Floor serving time: This consists of door opening time,
transfer (loading or unloading time), door closing time,
acceleration and de-acceleration (retardation) time.

(c)Loading/ Unloading time: Practically observed loading and

unloading time for lifts of different capacity are given below:
No. of Passengers Entrance lobby Loading time in Transfer time i.e.
second seconds loading and unloading
time at upper floors
8 7 1
13 12 1.25
16 14 1.5
20 17 1.6
Actually average time required for entrance of each passenger in car depends upon
total number of persons entering the car and already available in car. It may be one
second per person when car is partially loaded and 0.75 second when it is
completely empty. Time for emptying car is less and equal to 0.75 second for single
person but there is a tendency that all persons vacate the car simultaneously after
opening if the doors.
 Door Opening and closing time: Door closing time is more as compared
to door opening time. This is due to fact that when all persons have
entered in the car, it takes time for people to select and press the push
button for summoning the lift to various destinations. Total time for door
opening and closing operation can be taken as given below:

Type of Door operation Capacity

8 13 16 20
(a) Power operated single slide 3.8 3.8 - -
(b) Power operated double slide 3.2 3.2 - -
(c) Power operated centre Opening 2.8 2.8 3.2 3.2
(d) Collapsible with attendant 2.5 2.5 3 3
(e) Collapsible without attendant 4 4 - -
Distance travelled by lift during acceleration or retardation is assumed to be
equal. This can be calculated by using formula. d = ut + ½ ft2
Rate of acceleration will vary with type of as given below:
Lifts speed m/s Rate of acceleration m/sec
1 0.50
1.5 0.75
2.5 1.00
More than 2.4 to 8 2.50
More than 8 and floors more than 50 4.00
