EN 81-20 is the primary European safety standard governing the design and installation of passenger and goods lifts. Since replacing EN 81-1 and EN 81-2 in 2017, it has become the benchmark that importers in the EU and many other markets require.
In 2026, enforcement has tightened in several key markets. Nazar Elevator has ensured that all products leaving its Konya and Izmir facilities carry valid CE declarations of conformity referencing EN 81-20 and EN 81-50.
Key compliance areas include: minimum car dimensions relative to rated load, safety circuit requirements, door interlock specifications, and buffer dimensioning based on rated speed. Nazar Elevator's engineering team can provide country-specific documentation on request.
