ISO 8100-2:2026 specifies design rules, calculations, verifications and tests of lift components. It specifies for passenger lifts and goods passenger lifts:
— the verification of door locking devices,
— the verification of safety gears,
— the verification of overspeed governors,
— the verification of buffers,
— the verification of safety circuits and SIL-rated circuits,
— the verification of ascending car overspeed protection means,
— the verification of unintended car movement protection means,
— the verification of rupture valves and one-way restrictors,
— the verification of suspension and compensation means,
— the discard criteria for suspension means and sheaves,
— the calculation of guide rails,
— the calculation of rams, cylinders, rigid pipes and fittings,
— the evaluation of the traction,
— the evaluation of the safety factor on suspension means,
— the pendulum shock tests,
— the fault exclusion for electric and electronic components,
— the design rules for SIL-rated circuits.
ISO 8100-2:2026 cannot be applied to passenger lifts, goods passenger lifts or lift components, which are installed or manufactured before the date of its publication.
This standard is relevant to:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises),
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.).
ISO 8100-2:2026 text has been approved in Europe as EN ISO 8100-2:2026 without any changes.
