COMPLIANCE & SAFETY
EN 81-76:2025 introduces new inclusive evacuation modes:
✓ Driver-Assisted Evacuation – A trained operator aids in evacuation
✓ Automatic Evacuation – The lift functions autonomously in emergencies
✓ Remote-Controlled Evacuation – A technician operates the lift remotely
These standards ensure inclusive, reliable evacuation in all building types with direct implications for building design, fire strategy, and regulatory compliance. A LEIA BS EN 81-76:2025 guidance note can be read here: EN81-76.
