BS EN 81-76:2025 Evacuation Lift Guidance

This reiterates the guidance in the National foreword of BS EN 81-76:2025 and then provides further more detailed guidance on various building-related considerations for incorporating evacuation lifts in buildings.

The National foreword of BS EN 81-76 was drafted by the BSI lifts hoists and escalators committee, MHE/4, since the committee recognised that further guidance on some important topics might be helpful with the introduction of a new standard for evacuation lifts. The National foreword also included a link to this page so that further guidance could be developed to assist with the use and application of the standard.

The references to clauses and Annexes in the following text are to parts of BS EN 81-76:2025.  Links are included where further guidance is provided here.
