Designated Standard

What does the UK notice add?

Direct answer: The notice lists EN 81-76:2025 among designated lift standards, covering evacuation of persons with disabilities using lifts.

Use the official designation notice to verify scope and dates.

Building Strategy

Is an evacuation lift only an elevator package?

Direct answer: No. It depends on fire strategy, protected power, communications, controls, lobby conditions, management procedures and rescue planning. Elevator and building responsibilities must be coordinated together.

Buyer Specification

Which interfaces need named owners?

Direct answer: Assign the fire alarm interface, power resilience, water protection, emergency communication, signage, access control and operational command. Acceptance should include integrated scenarios, not isolated component tests.

Evidence at Handover

What should the final record contain?

Direct answer: Keep approved cause-and-effect logic, test scripts, witnessed results, operating procedures, training records and maintenance requirements. The building operator needs usable evacuation instructions, not only equipment manuals.

Use the ASME elevator safety-code overview to identify technical questions, while the destination authority controls adoption and inspection.
