Full title and description

STB DD ISO TS 22559-2-2010 — Safety requirements for lifts (elevators) — Part 2: Safety parameters meeting the global essential safety requirements (GESRs). This technical specification specifies global safety parameters (GSPs) for lifts, their components and functions and is intended to complement the system and methods given in ISO/TS 22559-1 for mitigating safety risks during operation, use of, or work on, lifts.

Abstract

ISO/TS 22559-2:2010 defines global safety parameters (GSPs) addressing safety-relevant functions and components of lifts (elevators). It sets parameters to help achieve the global essential safety requirements (GESRs), complements ISO/TS 22559-1 risk-mitigation methods, and covers a wide range of lift types and operating conditions (including exposure to fire, seismic events, weather and foreseeable misuse such as overloading). The document is a technical specification rather than a full product standard.

Scope

ISO/TS 22559-2:2010 applies to lifts located in permanent structures or attached to buildings (excluding lifts in single‑family private residences and lifts that are integral to means of transport such as ships). It is applicable irrespective of rated load, car size, travel speed, travel distance and number of landings. The technical specification addresses safety parameters intended to meet global essential safety requirements and to reduce risks arising during operation, maintenance or foreseeable misuse (for example overloading), though it does not aim to address vandalism.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and specification of Global Safety Parameters (GSPs) for lifts and lift components.
• Parameters and performance expectations for safety-related functions (e.g., overspeed protection, braking, door safety and car stop).
• Complementary risk-mitigation measures aligned with ISO/TS 22559-1 (systematic approach to lift safety).
• Applicability to extreme conditions: fire in the car, earthquakes and adverse weather/flood scenarios.
• Guidance for foreseeable misuse scenarios (for example overloading) and how GSPs reduce associated risks.
• Cross-references and compatibility considerations with other lift safety standards and national regulations.

Typical use and users

Primary users are lift and component manufacturers, lift system designers, safety engineers, conformity assessment bodies, national standards committees and regulatory authorities. The document is used as a technical reference for specifying safety parameters during design, for harmonizing safety expectations internationally, and for informing conformity and prescriptive requirements in regions that adopt or reference ISO technical specifications.

Related standards

ISO/TS 22559-1 (system and methods for mitigating lift safety risks); ISO/TS 8100-21:2018 (replacement/revision covering related safety parameters); ISO 4190 series (lift components and arrangements); EN 81 series (safety rules for construction and installation of lifts); ASME A17.1/CSA B44 (regional elevator safety codes); ISO 12100 (general machinery safety/risk assessment). Cross-references to these and other technical norms are commonly listed in bibliographies and national adoptive documents.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO/TS 22559-2:2010 is a technical specification that defines global safety parameters (GSPs) for lifts (elevators) aimed at meeting global essential safety requirements (GESRs) and complementing the risk‑mitigation approaches in ISO/TS 22559-1.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers specification of safety parameters for lift components and functions (for example braking and overspeed protection, door and car stop behavior), applicability conditions (types of lifts and environmental hazards) and guidance on foreseeable misuse scenarios; it is not a full construction code but a parameters-focused technical specification.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Lift manufacturers, design consultants, safety and compliance engineers, testing and certification bodies, and standards committees use it as a reference when defining safety-related parameters or aligning national/regional requirements with international practice.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO/TS 22559-2:2010 has been withdrawn and superseded; the material was incorporated into or replaced by ISO/TS 8100-21:2018 (and national catalogues list the withdrawal date around September 2018). Users should consult ISO/TS 8100-21:2018 and current EN/ISO lift safety documents for up‑to‑date requirements.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 2 of the ISO/TS 22559 series; Part 1 addresses systems and methods for mitigating safety risks, and other related parts/technical specifications and later revisions (including ISO/TS 8100 series) provide complementary material.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Global Safety Parameters (GSPs), GESR, lifts, elevators, safety parameters, risk mitigation, ISO/TS 22559.
