Příloha č. 1
Annex No. 1 to Government Decree No. 27 / 2003 Coll.
ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTECTION, RELATING TO THE CONSTRUCTION AND PRODUCTION OF EXPENSES AND SAFETY COMPONENTS
INTRODUCTORY PROVISIONS
1. The essential requirements shall apply to lifts or safety components only if, when using the lift or safety component, under conditions specified by the lift supplier or by the manufacturer of the safety component, the hazards to which the essential requirements relate may arise. The possibility of creating danger by the supplier of the lift or the manufacturer of safety components shall be analysed, evaluated and ensured in advance with regard to the analysis.
2. If, under the current state of the art, the full purpose for which the essential requirements have been established cannot be achieved, the supplier of the lift or the manufacturer of the safety components shall ensure that safety is ensured to an extent as close as possible to the essential requirements.
1. GENERAL
1.1 Application of Government Regulation No. 24 / 2003 Coll., laying down technical requirements for machinery ("Government Regulation No. 24 / 2003 Coll.").
If there is an appropriate hazard and it is not listed in this Annex, the health and safety requirements set out in Annex 2 to Government Regulation No 24 / 2003 Coll. The essential requirements of Annex 2, point 1.1.2, to Decree-Law No 24 / 2003 Coll. must apply in any event. Lifts shall also be subject to the essential requirements laid down in the specific legislation laying down technical requirements for the construction products referred to in the CE mark, 4a) if not provided for by the Government in this Regulation. With regard to aspects relating to the installation of lifts, where the requirements laid down in this Regulation are met, the requirements laid down in a separate legislation laying down technical requirements for construction products referred to in CE.4a shall also be deemed to be satisfied.)
1.2. Carrier
The carrier part of the elevator must be 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 design does not obstruct or impede the access and use of persons with reduced mobility, such as persons in a wheelchair for disabled persons, and that it allows any appropriate adaptations which may facilitate the use of such persons.
1.3 Hanging and supporting devices
The suspension or support devices of the lift cage, its fastening and coupling components shall be designed and selected in such a way as to ensure the necessary level of safety and minimise the risk of the cage falling, taking into account the conditions of use, the material used and the production conditions.
Where ropes or chains are used to hang the cage, at least two separate ropes or chains shall be used, each with separate fixing. Ropes and chains shall not be set unless this is necessary for fixing or creating meshes.
1.4. Load control (including excessive speed)
1.4.1. The lifts shall be so designed, constructed and installed that, in the event of an excess load being imposed by the lift supplier, they are prevented from moving.
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 lift 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 so installed and connected that:
(a) the possibility of confusion with non-lift-related circuits is excluded;
(b) the power is switched off under load;
(c) the lift is only possible when the safety equipment is properly operated in a separate electrical (control) safety circuit;
(d) the defect in the electrical installation was not the cause of a dangerous situation.
2. HAZARD FOR PERSONS BEING OUT OF THE CELL
2.1 The lift shall be so designed and constructed that the space in which the cage is moving 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 so designed and constructed 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 to prevent that risk may be applied, with the prior consent of the Member States of the European Union.
2.3 The points of entry and exit from the cage shall be equipped with a shaft door which shall have adequate mechanical resistance for the expected operating conditions.
The locking device must prevent during normal operation
(a) the start of the cage, whether intended or not, until the shaft door is closed and secured;
(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. HAZARD FOR PERSONS IN THE KEY
3.1 The lift cages shall be completely closed with full walls at all height, including the floor and ceiling, with the exception of ventilation holes and full doors. This door shall be so designed and installed that the cage cannot move unless the door is closed, except for the commute referred to in the last sentence of 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 defect on the components of the lift, the lift shall be equipped with a device to prevent the cage from falling freely or uncontrollable cage movement upwards.
The device to prevent the free fall of the cage shall not be dependent on the cage curtain.
This device shall be capable of stopping the cage at an appropriate load capacity and at the maximum speed specified by the lift supplier. At any load, stopping this device shall not cause a dangerous deceleration for the passengers.
3.3 Bumpers shall be placed between the floor of the shaft and the floor of the lift cage.
In this case the free space referred to in paragraph 2.2 shall be measured with completely compressed buffers.
This requirement does not apply to lifts whose cage cannot reach the free space according to paragraph 2.2, due to the design of the propulsion system.
3.4 The lifts shall be designed and constructed in such a way that they cannot be actuated if the device referred to in paragraph 3.2 is not in the position of emergency.
4. OTHER DANGER
4.1 Chest and cage doors or both doors at the same time, when closed by motor, shall have an anti-clamping device for moving doors.
4.2 If the shaft doors are intended to contribute to the protection of the building from the spread of fire, including its glazed parts, they shall have adequate fire resistance in terms of their integrity, insulation properties (flame resistance) and radiation (heat flow density). If the shaft door, including the glass part door, must serve to protect the building from fire, it shall be adequately fire-resistant in terms of its integrity and fire-resistant properties (resistance to flame) and heat radiation (heat).
4.3. The balance load shall be installed in such a way as to avoid any risk of collision with the cage or falling on the cage.
4.4 The lifts must be equipped with means to release and evacuate the caged persons.
4.5. The lift cage shall be equipped with a two-way communication device enabling it to be connected to a permanent rescue service.
4.6 The lifts shall be designed and constructed in such a way that they can complete the ride if the temperature in the lift machine space exceeds the maximum specified by the lift supplier but does not respond to further commands.
4.7 The lift cages shall be designed and constructed in such a way as to ensure sufficient ventilation for the transport persons, even in the event of a prolonged interruption of operation.
4.8 The lift cage shall be illuminated accordingly if occupied or the cage door is open; the cage shall also have emergency lighting.
4.9 The communication equipment referred to in paragraph 4.5 and the emergency lighting referred to in paragraph 4.8 shall be so designed and constructed as to function even without normal current supply. The duration of their function shall be long enough to allow normal rescue operations.
4.10 The control circuits of lifts which may be used in the event of fire (fire or evacuation elevators) shall be designed and constructed in such a way as to prevent the lift from stopping at the specified levels and to enable priority steering of the lift by rescue crews.
5. MARKING
5.1 In addition to the minimum data required for each machinery referred to in point 1.7.3 of Annex 2 to Government Regulation No 24 / 2003 Coll., each cage shall be equipped with a clearly visible label indicating the load capacity in kilograms and the maximum number of passengers that may be carried therein.
5.2. If the lift is designed to allow persons trapped in a cage to be released without external assistance, the corresponding instructions in the Czech language must be placed clearly and visibly in the cage.
6. INSTRUCTIONS ON USE
6.1 The safety components listed in Annex 4 to this Regulation shall be accompanied by a guide drawn up in the Czech language and, where appropriate, in a language agreed by the notified person with the manufacturer of the safety components or his authorised representative in such a way that:
(a) installation;
(b) connection;
(c) adjustment;
(d) maintenance
may be performed correctly and without danger.
6.2 Each lift shall be equipped with documentation drawn up in the Czech language and, where appropriate, in the Community language, which may be designated by the Member State of the European Union in which the lift is installed. Documentation shall include at least:
(a) instructions for use, including drawings and diagrams necessary for normal operation and relating to maintenance, testing, repair, periodic checks and removal of persons as referred to in point 4.4;
(b) A copy of the lift in which repairs, periodic checks and the like are recorded.
