Definition of terms
For the purposes of this Regulation:
(a) the carrier part of the lift on which persons or cargo may be present for lifting or launching;

Annex No. 1 to Government Regulation No. 122 / 2016 Coll.
ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR HEALTH AND SECURITY PROTECTION
INTRODUCTORY PROVISIONS
1. The obligations relating to essential health and safety requirements shall apply only if there is a risk for the lift or safety component for lifts when used in accordance with the conditions of the supplier or manufacturer.
2. The essential health and safety requirements contained in this Regulation are binding. However, the objectives they set may not be achievable under the current state of the art. In such cases, the lift or safety components for lifts shall be designed and constructed in such a way that they are as close as possible to those objectives.
3. a risk assessment shall be carried out by the manufacturer and the supplier in order to determine all risks related to lifts or safety components for lifts which it manufactures; These products must then be designed and manufactured in the light of this analysis.
1.
1.1 Application of Government Regulation No. 176 / 2008 Coll., on Technical Requirements for Machinery, as amended ("Government Regulation No. 176 / 2008 Coll.").
Where there is a relevant risk not listed in this Annex, the essential health and safety requirements applicable to the design and construction of machinery listed in Annex 1 to Government Regulation No 176 / 2008 Coll. The essential health and safety requirements referred to in point 1.1.2 of Annex 1 to Decree No 176 / 2008 Coll. shall apply in any event.
1.2. Carrier
The carrier part of the lift shall take the form of a cage. The lift cage shall be designed and constructed in such a way that its space and strength correspond to the supplier's maximum number of persons and the load capacity of the lift.
Where dimensions permit, the cage for lifts intended for the carriage of persons shall be designed and constructed in such a way that its construction does not obstruct or impede the access and use of persons with reduced mobility and allows for any appropriate adjustment which may facilitate their use.
1.3 Hanging and supporting devices
The suspension or support devices of the lift cage, its fastening and coupling components shall be selected and designed to ensure the necessary level of safety and minimise the risk of the cage falling, taking into account the conditions of use, materials used and production conditions.
Where ropes or chains are used to hang the cage, at least 2 separate ropes or chains shall be used, each with separate fixing. These ropes and chains shall not have any connections or entanglement unless this is necessary for fixing or creating meshes.
1.4. Load control (including excessive speed)
1.4.1 The lifts shall be designed, constructed and installed in such a way that, in case of excess load capacity, the command to move is prevented.
1.4.2 The lifts shall be equipped with a speed limiter.
This requirement does not apply to lifts where the design of the drive prevents the speed being exceeded.
1.4.3. Speed draws shall be equipped with a control and speed limiting device.
1.4.4. The lift driven by friction discs shall be so designed as to ensure the traction of carrier ropes on the disc.
1.5 Extraction machinery
1.5.1. Every personal elevator must have its own elevator machine. This requirement shall not apply to lifts in which the balance weight is replaced by a second cage.
1.5.2. The supplier shall ensure that the lift machine and its equipment are inaccessible, except for maintenance and emergency cases.
1.6 Control
1.6.1 The controls of lifts intended for persons with reduced mobility shall be appropriately designed and located.
1.6.2 The function of the controls shall be clearly marked.
1.6.3. The call circuits of a group of lifts may be common or connected.
1.6.4 The electrical circuits of lifts shall be installed and connected so that:
(a) the possibility of confusion with circuits which have nothing to do with the lift is excluded;
(b) it was possible to turn on the power at load;
(c) the lift ride depended on electrical safety devices located in a separate electrical control circuit; and
(d) the failure in the electrical installation did not cause a dangerous situation.
2. Risks for persons outside the cage
2.1 The lift shall be designed and constructed in such a way that the space in which the cage moves is inaccessible, except for maintenance and emergency cases. Before entering this space, normal use of the lift shall be excluded.
2.2 The lift shall be designed and constructed in such a way as to prevent the risk of clamping of persons when the cage is in one of the end positions.
This requirement is met by free space or escape space within the end position area.
Since, in specific cases, in particular in existing buildings, such a solution is not possible, other appropriate measures may be applied, after the prior consent of the Member States of the European Union, to avoid that risk.
2.3 Seats for entrance and exit from the cage shall be equipped with a shaft door with adequate mechanical resistance to the expected operating conditions.
The locking device shall prevent during normal operation:
(a) the start of the cage, whether intended or not, until the shaft doors are closed and secured; and
(b) opening the shaft door if the cage is still in motion and outside the designated opening zone.
However, commuting with open doors in a specific band is permitted provided that the commuting speed is controlled.
3. Risks for caged persons
3.1 The lift cages shall be completely closed with full walls throughout the height, including the floor and ceiling, with the exception of ventilation holes, and with full doors. This door shall be so designed and installed that the cage cannot move unless the door is closed, except for the commuting referred to in paragraph 2.3, and shall stop when the door is open.
The door of the cage shall remain closed and secured if there is a stop between two floors, if there is a risk of falling between the cage and the shaft or if the lift is not in the shaft.
3.2 In the event of a power failure or failure on the components, the lift shall be equipped with a device to prevent the free fall of the cage or the uncontrollable movement of the cage.
