UPS systems for lifts compliant with EN50171
Standard passenger lifts may be used for evacuation purposes in the event of a fire so long as appropriate management and safety systems are put in place.
The responsible person is required to put an emergency evacuation plan in place which takes into account the evacuation of injured and disabled persons who may be present. It is to the discretion of this responsible person as to whether passenger lifts should be utilised in the event of an emergency situation such as a fire.
A recent change in UK legislation means that all passenger lifts with the intended use for evacuation must meet the guidelines set out in BS 9999, Annex G (Fire regulations) standard. As a means of escape, it is especially important for the passenger lifts to continue running when the power goes out as it is not uncommon to experience a power failure during a fire. As a secondary, independent source of power is not always possible to obtain in buildings, so an onsite Uninterruptible power supply system should be used instead.
Our commitment and experience extend far beyond just providing UPS systems for data centres and IT infrastructure, we provide specifically designed UPS systems for emergency and life safety equipment that are compliant with relevant health and safety regulations.
