The Revision of EN 81-1 and EN 81-2GTBFT: The Aim for the Future

Success of European New Approach to technical legislations

Global interest within the lift profession to introduce similar concept in other regions of the world

ISO/TC 178 has been developing ISO 22559 series of standards as necessary tools ISO 14798 (Risk Assessment) ISO/TS 22559-1 (GESRs) ISO/TS 22559-2 (GSPs) ISO/DTS 22559-3 & ISO/DTS 22559-4 (GCAP)

To complete this set of "tools", a prescriptive standard is needed

The revised edition of EN 81-1/2 provides an ideal basis for the ISO global prescriptive standard (ISO 22559- XX)

ISO prescriptive standard for lifts
