On August 6, 2014, CEN (European Committee for Standardization) issued the new lift standards EN 81-20 and EN 81-50 for publication.
These new standards will supersede the current standard EN 81-1/2+A3, which will be withdrawn on 31 August 2017, bringing safety rules for the
construction and installation of the lifts in line with current visions.
Part 20 is dedicated to passenger and goods passenger lifts while Part 50 will focus on design rules, calculation, examinations and tests of lift
components.
Pizzato Elettrica has already updated its lift product range to comply with the new standards and is ready to offer detailed solutions that will
specifi cally satisfy our costumer requirements.
