as modified by

Regulation No 2 of the European Parliament 1882/2003 of 29. September 2003, Directive 2006 /42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17. The Regulation No No no. 1025/2012 of 25. -October 2012.

The directive is reproduced in the consolidated version of 1. January 2013.

EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 95 /16/EF

of 29. June 1995

on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION HAVE-

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 100a thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 2) ,

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee 3) ,

in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189b of the Treaty 4) , on the basis of the Conciliation Committee's joint text of 17. May 1995, and

in the following considerations :

Whereas it is up to the Member States in their territory to ensure the safety and health of our citizens ;

Whereas the White Paper on the completion of the internal market, approved by the European Council in June 1985, contains in paragraphs 65 and 68 provisions for the application of the new approach to the approximation of laws ;

Council Directive 84 /529/EEC of 17. September 1984 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to electrical, hydraulic or electro-hydraulic-powered elevators, 5) , without allowing free circulation of all lifts, the essential provisions of the national legislation on the lifts which are not covered by Directive 84 /529/EEC, due to their differences, are obstacles to intra-Community trade in : whereas, therefore, the Community rules on lifts should be harmonized ;

Council Directive 84 /528/EEC of 17. September 1984 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to common rules for the lifting of goods, lifting and transport equipment 6) the framework Directive for two separate Directives, specifically Directive 84 /529/EEC and Council Directive 86 /663/EEC of 22. December 1986 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to self-driving 7) , repealed by Directive 91 /368/EEC of 20. June 1991 amending Directive 89 /392/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to machinery 8) ;

The Commission adopted the 8. June 1995 Recommendation 95 /216/EC 9) to Member States concerning the improvement of safety at existing lifts ;

Whereas the essential requirements of this Directive will only be able to ensure the level of safety required if, inter alia, the provisions of Council Decision 93 /465/EEC of 22. July 1993 on the modules for the various phases of conformity assessment procedures and the application of the CE conformity marking, in order to be applied to the technical harmonisation directives ; 10) , selected appropriate procedures for conformity assessment to ensure compliance with these requirements ;

lifts or some of their safety components which comply with the essential health and safety requirements of this Directive must be provided with visible CE marking in order to be marketed ;

Whereas this Directive lays down only the essential health and safety requirements which are of a general nature ; in order to make it easier for manufacturers to prove that the lifts are in accordance with these essential requirements, as well as to check that the lifts are carried out ; Whereas these requirements have been complied with, at European level, harmonised standards for the prevention of risks arising from the construction and installation of the lift ; these harmonised standards at European level are drawn up by private law bodies ; must retain the status of texts which are not legally binding ; in this context, the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) and the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation (CENELEC) as the bodies competent to adopt the harmonized standards in accordance with the general principles, guidelines for cooperation between the Commission and these bodies, which was signed on 13. In this Directive, a harmonized standard shall mean a technical specification adopted by one of these bodies or both by the mandate of the Commission in accordance with Council Directive 83 /189/EEC of 28. March 1983 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations 11) , and in accordance with the abovementioned general guidelines ;

Whereas it is important to establish a transitional arrangement so that the installers can market elevators before the date of implementation of this Directive ;

this Directive is drawn up to cover all the risks associated with lifts, to which their users and the inhabitants of the building are exposed ; the Directive must therefore be considered as a Directive as referred to in Article 2 (1). 3, in Council Directive 89 /106/EEC of 21. December 1988 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning construction 12) ;

The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission reached 20. In December 1994, agreed on a modus vivendi concerning the implementing measures for acts adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189b of the Treaty,

ISSUED THE FOLLOWING DIRECTIVE :

ANNEX I

ESSENTIAL SAFETY AND HEALTH REQUIREMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH

WITH THE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF LIFTS AND

SECURITY COMPONENTS

PRELIMINARY REMARKS

1. The obligations laid down by the essential health and safety requirements shall apply only when the relevant risk is present for the lift or safety component associated with the use of this under the conditions of use, the installer of the lift, or the manufacturer of the safety component, fixed conditions.

The essential health and safety requirements laid down in the directive are essential. However, in the light of the technical stage, it is possible that the objectives set are not achievable. If this is the case, the lift or safety component shall be construed and produced in order to enable these objectives to be pursued as far as possible.

3. The manufacturer of the safety component and the installer of the lift must carry out a risk analysis with a view to identifying all of the risks associated with their product ; the product must then be constructed and produced in the interests of this ; analysis.

In accordance with Article 14, the essential requirements of Directive 89 /106/EEC, which have not been included in this Directive, shall apply to lifts.

1. GENERAL REMARKS

1.1. Application of Directive 89 /392/EEC as amended by Directives 91 /36 8 / EEC, 93 /44/EEC and 93 /68/EEC

Where the relevant risk is available but not dealt with in this Annex, the essential health and safety requirements set out in Annex I to Directive 89 /392/EEC shall apply. In any event, the essential requirements of section 1.1.2 of Annex I to Directive 89 /392/EEC shall apply.

1.2. Elevator Chair

The elevator chair in each lift must be a cabinine. This cab must be designed and constructed in such a way that the area and carrier capacity corresponds to the maximum number of people and the nominal nominal of the lift, as determined by the manufacturer.

If the lift is intended for the carriage of persons and its dimensions, the cabin must be prepared and constructed in such a way that it does not impede or prevent the access of disabled persons as a result of the construction of the person concerned or preventing the access of disabled persons ; or use it, and so it may be equipped with any suitable equipment which makes it easier for these people to use it.

1.3. Repeating and carrying means
