A few standards considered in this regard are:
- TS EN ISO 14798 Lifts, escalators and escalators - Risk assessment and risk reduction
- TS EN 81-3 + A1 Lifts - Safety regulations for construction and assembly - Part 3: Electrical and hydraulic service lifts
- TS EN 81-20 Safety rules for the construction and installation of elevators - Elevators for the transport of persons and goods - Part 20: Elevators of persons and goods
