1.4. Control of loading (including overspeed)

Directive 2014/33/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to lifts and safety components for lifts (recast) Text with EEA relevance · European Union

Lifts must be so designed, constructed and installed as to prevent normal starting if the rated load is exceeded. Lifts must be equipped with an overspeed governor. These requirements do not apply to lifts in which the design of the drive system prevents overspeed. Fast lifts must be equipped with a speed-monitoring and speed-limiting device. Lifts driven by friction pulleys must be designed so as to ensure stability of the traction cables on the pulley.
