EU EN 81-20/50:2026 Elevator Safety Standard Revised, Strengthening Anti-Pinch, Brake, Earthquake Safety Functions
Core revision: first, door system anti-pinch upgrade, landing door/car door dual light curtain + safety edge, closing force ≤150N, obstacle identification ≤5mm, anti-pinch response ≤0.1 second, preventing pinching accidents; second, dual brake mandatory, all elevators standard dual brakes, independent control, redundant design, one fails another acts immediately, braking reliability 100%; third, earthquake safety function, adding earthquake perception + nearest stop, detect earthquake automatically decelerate, level door open, power-off lock, preventing falling, squeezing; fourth, accessibility strengthening, car net width ≥900mm, control panel braille + voice + low button, door open time ≥3 seconds, adapting to wheelchair, elderly; fifth, stricter test, brake 100,000 times durability test, door system 500,000 times switch test, vibration, noise, EMC test standards comprehensively upgraded. After implementation, EU elevator accident rate expected to decrease by 50%, Chinese export enterprises need to complete technology upgrade by end of 2026.
