EN 81-28:2003 (E)
Introduction
This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN 1070. This standard has been prepared to be a
harmonised standard to provide one means of conforming to the essential safety requirements of the Lift Directive.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are
indicated in the scope of the standard.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the
provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for lifts that have
been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.
While drafting this standard it was assumed that:
1) The communication network (see annex A) does not fail.
2) The power supply network failure does not occur so that all the lifts in a geographical area do not create
entrapment simultaneously.
3) This standard is used in conjunction with the corresponding standards of EN 81 series.
This standard also provides general information about the level of service provided by a rescue organisation.

EN 81-28:2003 (E)
1 Scope
This standard applies to alarm systems for all types of passenger and goods passenger lifts, in particular those
covered in the EN 81 series of standards.
This standard also deals with the minimum information given to the owner of the installation related to maintenance
and rescue service.
This standard deals with the following significant hazard relevant to lifts when they are used as intended and under
the conditions foreseen by the installer/manufacturer:
Entrapment of users due to the lift not working properly.
This standard is not applicable to alarm systems intended to be used to call for help in other cases, e.g. heart
attack, seeking information.
This standard is applicable to alarm systems used for lifts manufactured and installed after the date of publication
by CEN of this standard. However, this standard may be taken into account when applied to existing lifts.
EN 81-70 gives additional requirements for persons with disabilities.
This standard supersedes EN 81-1:1998 and EN 81-2:1998 with regard to remote alarm (clause 14.2.3).
