6.9 Lift installed with free access (only certain countries)
If the lift is accessible to the public, it must, as a general rule, be equipped with a key switch so
the lift can be locked when it is not under supervision.
In order to prevent persons becoming inadvertently trapped in the lift, it must be possible to
lock it so that there is no access to the lift (in the normal manner). The key switch must prevent
the lift being able to be moved and ensure that doors can be locked or unlocked where required.
If the lift is not under supervision or locked but the owner (or their representative) is in the
vicinity/building, it must be equipped with an alarm signal in order to summon assistance.
If the lift is equipped with an audible alarm this must be connected to an external alarm device
(e.g., light, sound etc.) that is able to draw attention to the fact that there is a need for assistance
at the lift. If the lift is installed in a manner in which the alarm signal is insufficient (e.g., freely
accessible without supervision), two-way communication must be installed.
If the lift is installed with two-way communication equipment, this equipment must be connected
to a telephone number that is monitored at all times (when the lift is available).
