BS EN 81‑50 guides you with the design rules, calculations, examinations, and tests for lift components. BS EN 81‑50 defines safety rules related to lifts with a view to safeguarding persons and objects against the risk of accidents associated with the user, maintenance, and emergency operation of lifts. The design rules given in BS EN 81‑50 help you in designing lifts in a safer manner and thus safeguarding your customers from potential hazards.
