To reduce the risk of the entrance being obstructed when the elevator is required to operate in
firefighting service, the use of the elevator for moving refuse or goods must be restricted.
The installer of the elevator must provide instructions to the owner, including details according
to the table below. In practice, many of the preconditions will have been agreed with the
owner before signing the elevator delivery contract.
NOTE! In case of fire, a correctly operating firefighter elevator enables firefighters to reach
people requiring help as quickly as possible.
The owner of the elevator is recommended to ensure that the operation of the firefighter
elev
ator is verified regularly according to local regulations and standards. KONE
recommends to verify the operation once a year.
The following table describes the relevant EN 81-72 cla
uses for firefighter elevators.
