This document is applicable to lifts that are intended to carry persons or persons and goods that can:<\/p>\n
\n
- \n
be located in any permanent and fixed structure or building, except lifts located in means of transport, (e.g. ships);<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
have any<\/p>\n
\n
- \n
rated load, size of load carrying unit and speed, and<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
travel distance and number of landings;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
be affected by fire in the load-carrying unit (LCU), earthquake, weather, or flood;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
be foreseeably misused (e.g. overloaded) but not vandalized.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
This document does not cover<\/p>\n

- \n
all needs of users with disabilities;1<\/sup> or<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
risks arising from<\/p>\n
\n
- \n
work on lifts under construction, testing, or during alterations and dismantling;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
use of lifts for fire fighting and emergency evacuation;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
