BS EN 81-71-2018 pdf free download.Safety rules for the construction and installation of lifts – Particular applications to passenger lifts and goods passenger lifts Part 71: Vandal resistant lifts
This document gives additional and deviating requirements to EN 81‑20 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 81‑20. 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 0 lifts (see definition 3.2).
For other types of lifts, e.g. inclined lifts according to EN 81‑22, this standard can usefully be taken as a basis.

5 Safety requirements and/or protective measures
5.1 General
Category 1 and Category 2 vandal resistant lifts shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective measures of the following clauses. In addition, such lifts shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100 for hazards relevant but not significant that are not dealt with by this document (e.g. sharp edges).
5.2 Lift well
5.2.1 Well enclosure
5.2.1.1 Well enclosures shall be imperforate. The walls, floor and ceiling shall be made of materials such as steel, brick, concrete etc. with a mechanical strength such that when a force of 2 500 N being evenly distributed over an area of 100 cm 2 in round or square section is applied at right angles to the surface at any point on either face they shall resist without:
a) permanent deformation;
b) elastic deformation greater than 15 mm.
The materials used for the well enclosure shall be non‑combustible, e.g. according to Class A1 of EN 13501‑1.
If the material used is glass, it shall be of an equivalent strength to the glass used for landing doors – see 5.4.1.
NOTE The above requirements apply in addition to any national regulations.
5.2.1.2 For Category 1 lifts with a partially enclosed well the height of the enclosure according to EN 81‑20:2014, 5.2.5.2.3 b) shall be a minimum of 5,0 m.
