Why ISO Matters for Vertical Transportation<\/mark><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Les normes de l'Organisation internationale de normalisation (ISO) sont le langage commun de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 civile. la s\u00e9curit\u00e9, l'interop\u00e9rabilit\u00e9 et la performance<\/strong> tout au long de la cha\u00eene de valeur des ascenseurs et des escaliers m\u00e9caniques. Pour les promoteurs et les autorit\u00e9s, ils r\u00e9duisent les risques des projets et rationalisent les approbations. Pour les fabricants et les prestataires de services, ils ancrent les d\u00e9cisions de conception, les programmes d'essai et les syst\u00e8mes de qualit\u00e9, et ils facilitent l'acc\u00e8s au march\u00e9 au-del\u00e0 des fronti\u00e8res.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the core of the current framework are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • ISO 8100 series<\/mark><\/strong> \u2014 the principal safety rules for construction and installation;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • ISO 22559<\/mark><\/strong> \u2014 the global essential safety requirements (GESRs) framework;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • ISO 14798<\/mark><\/strong> \u2014 risk assessment methodology;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • ISO 25745<\/mark><\/strong> \u2014 energy measurement, verification, and classification;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • ISO 8100-30 (formerly ISO 4190-1<\/mark>)<\/strong> \u2014 standard shaft\/cabin\/install dimensional coordination.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The Safety Backbone: ISO 8100 (Design, Construction, Installation)<\/mark><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Le ISO 8100<\/strong> family is the anchor for lift safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • ISO 8100-1:2019<\/mark><\/strong> sets safety rules for the construction and installation<\/strong> of passenger and goods lifts\u2014covering design principles, protective measures, and functional safety. It is the natural successor (and global counterpart) to long-standing regional frameworks and is currently under revision (FDIS stage), signaling active maintenance and alignment with technology progress.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • ISO 8100-2:2019<\/mark><\/strong> complements Part 1 with design rules, calculations, examinations, and tests of lift components<\/strong>, ensuring that safety isn\u2019t just functional on paper but verified through examination and test<\/strong> regimens.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • ISO 8100-20:2018<\/mark><\/strong> clarifies scope and application<\/strong> for lifts intended to carry persons (and persons with goods) in fixed structures\u2014important for demarcating what is (and isn\u2019t) covered when specifying solutions for special buildings or transport vessels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      What this means for projects:<\/strong> If you are a developer or EPC specifying lifts, referencing ISO 8100-1\/-2\/-20<\/strong> provides a globally recognized safety baseline for construction, acceptance, and inspection protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      From \u201cPrinciples\u201d to \u201cParameters\u201d: ISO 22559 and The GESR Approach<\/mark><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      ISO 22559-1:2014<\/mark><\/strong> sets out Global Essential Safety Requirements (GESRs)<\/mark><\/strong>\u2014a top-level framework that defines the safety outcomes lifts must achieve, and a methodology to minimize risks during use, operation, and work on lifts. It is a technology-neutral<\/strong> backbone that helps regulators and manufacturers align on what must be safe<\/em> even as designs evolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Earlier, ISO\/TS 22559-2:2010<\/mark><\/strong> translated those GESRs into Global Safety Parameters (GSPs)<\/mark><\/strong>. That Technical Specification has been withdrawn<\/strong> and superseded functionally within the newer ISO 8100 family (see ISO\/TS 8100-21<\/strong>), reflecting the sector\u2019s move from principles to fully harmonized, testable requirements. For historical context and migration, knowing that ISO\/TS 22559-2 was replaced is useful when you encounter older specs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Practical takeaway:<\/strong> Use ISO 22559-1<\/mark><\/strong> when you need a policy-level statement of safety objectives (e.g., regulations, conformity strategies) and pair it with ISO 8100<\/mark><\/strong> parts when writing procurement and test specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Managing Risk Systematically: ISO 14798<\/mark><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      ISO 14798:2009<\/mark><\/strong> provides the risk assessment process<\/strong> for lifts, escalators, and moving walks. It describes hazard identification, risk estimation, and reduction methods\u2014usable not just for harm to persons<\/strong> but also property and environmental risks<\/strong>. It\u2019s widely referenced in both new installations and modernization projects to justify design choices, maintenance intervals, and safety upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      How it\u2019s used in practice:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • During design, to evaluate alternatives (e.g., door protection systems, overspeed devices).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • During modernization, to prioritize upgrades on legacy equipment based on quantified risk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • During audits, to document ALARP<\/strong> (as low as reasonably practicable) reasoning for authorities or insurers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Energy Performance and Sustainability: ISO 25745<\/mark><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        With buildings under pressure to meet ESG and energy codes<\/strong>, the ISO 25745<\/strong> series standardizes how the industry measures and improves energy performance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • ISO 25745-1:2023<\/mark><\/strong> defines methods of measuring actual energy consumption<\/strong> and conducting periodic verification<\/strong> for lifts, escalators, and moving walks\u2014crucial for projects committing to operational energy targets and green building ratings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • ISO 25745-3:2015<\/mark><\/strong> covers energy calculation and classification<\/strong> of escalators and moving walks<\/strong>, enabling consistent energy labeling and apples-to-apples comparisons in tenders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Specification tip:<\/strong> Include ISO 25745-1<\/strong> measurement + verification clauses in OPRs (Owner\u2019s Project Requirements) and require ISO 25745-3<\/strong> classifications for escalators\/moving walks to drive lifecycle efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Dimensional Coordination & Modernization Pathways: ISO 8100-30 (ex-ISO 4190-1)<\/mark><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          For decades, ISO 4190-1:2010<\/strong><\/mark> defined standardized dimensions<\/strong> to permit installation of passenger lifts (classes I, II, III, VI)\u2014think shaft sizes, pit\/headroom, and car arrangements<\/strong>. It has since been withdrawn<\/strong> and replaced by ISO 8100-30:2019<\/mark><\/strong>, aligning dimensional coordination with the modern 8100 family. If you encounter older architectural drawings or tender books that still reference ISO 4190, the migration path is to ISO 8100-30.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Design implication:<\/strong> Using the current ISO 8100-30<\/mark><\/strong> helps reduce clashes between architecture and lift packages, simplifies modernization planning, and supports supply-chain interoperability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Escalators & Moving walks: Applying the Same Logic<\/mark><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          While lift safety centers on ISO 8100-1\/-2<\/mark><\/strong>, the principles extend to escalators and moving walks<\/strong> through ISO 14798<\/mark><\/strong> (risk assessments) and ISO 25745<\/mark><\/strong> (energy). Many authorities and consultants apply the GESR concept (ISO 22559-1)<\/mark><\/strong> to modernization programs to ensure legacy equipment approaches the safety level of new installations\u2014particularly in transport hubs and retail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Set the baseline:<\/mark><\/strong> Reference ISO 8100-1\/-2\/-20<\/mark><\/strong> for safety, scope, and testing in employer\u2019s requirements and tender specs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Articulate objectives:<\/mark><\/strong> Add ISO 22559-1<\/mark><\/strong> (GESRs) in the regulatory\/conformity narrative to align stakeholders on outcomes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Quantify risk:<\/mark><\/strong> Require a documented ISO 14798<\/mark><\/strong> risk assessment for new builds and modernizations; use it to prioritize controls and commissioning tests.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. Measure energy, then improve:<\/mark><\/strong> Specify ISO 25745-1<\/mark><\/strong> M&V during commissioning and O&M; request ISO 25745-3<\/strong> classes for escalators\/moving walks to benchmark tenders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          5. Coordinate with architecture:<\/mark><\/strong> Ensure shafts and headroom conform to ISO 8100-30<\/mark><\/strong> (not legacy ISO 4190-1) for smoother installation and futureproofing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          6. Document tests & examinations:<\/mark><\/strong> Ensure component and system examinations per ISO 8100-2<\/mark><\/strong> are included in factory and site acceptance plans.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
