Short description
Firefighters lifts are subject to special requirements, providing means of access and escape route for the fire service in case of fire. Life and physical safety of the firefighters in action depend on the safe and reliable functioning of such lifts. Requirements are specified, among others, in DIN EN 81-72. In addition, there are existing lifts in accordance with TRA 200 and several regional fire services maintain lists of requirements. This standard offers a unique harmonised checklist allowing operators and testing institutions to carry out recurrent tests of such lifts. The revision includes adaptations to updated technical rules as well as a new section on modernisation of existing installations.
