This document provides guidance to the building designer, customer, etc. and provides requirements for design where it is considered that additional security or other measures may be required in order to protect against the risk of vandalism. Lifts built to EN 81-1 and EN 81-2 offer a reasonable degree of protection against carelessness or rough use. This document addresses additional protective measures against deliberate acts that may result in equipment damage or injury to persons.

This document gives additional and deviating requirements to EN 81-1 and EN 81-2 as applicable in order to ensure the safety of lift users and the availability of lifts, which may be used for vandal resistant purposes. In all other respects such lifts are designed in accordance with EN 81-1, including Amendment A2 or EN 81-2, including Amendment A2. This document deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to lifts which can be affected by vandalism (as listed in Clause 4) when they are used under the conditions as foreseen by the installer. It does not cover building security or Category O lifts (see definition 3.2).
