BS 8899:2016 ExComm (Fire)

This standard BS 8899:2016 ExComm (Fire) Expert Commentary on BS 8899:2016, Improvement of fire-fighting and evacuation provisions in existing lifts. Code of practice is classified in these ICS categories:

• 13.220.20 Fire protection

The scope of this code of practice is intended to be as wide ranging as possible with regards to the lifts which might be encountered today for use by firefighters or for evacuation of disabled people. However there are specific types of lifts which are either very rare, such as double deck lifts, or not suitable for fire-fighting and which are therefore excluded even from today’s new fire-fighting lifts described in BS 9999 and BS EN 81 72.
