EN 81-1:2008 +A3 and EN 81-2:2008 +A3. INFORMATIVE NOTE.
By the middle of next year, the Lift Industry must meet a new standard requirement: Addendum 3,
which extends the technical safety rules described in the current European Standards EN 81-1 and EN
81-2.
DYNATECH anticipated the Addendum 3 specification contents several years ago by developing the
anti-creep system for its speed governors. These governors incorporating the anti-creep system, when
combined with our safety gears, meet the requirements described in the above-mentioned Addendum 3
100%.
Now, the question is:
Why there is no information on the Certification of these systems according to Addendum 3 on the
Dynatech website?
The answer is clear:
Up until now, none of the prestigious Notified Bodies Dynatech usually works with can Certify the
System as either they do not have the corresponding Procedures and Instructions concerning internal
organization or they are still developing them; on the other hand, they cannot officially certify technical
requirements included in a Standard which is not in force and, therefore, its fulfilment cannot be
demanded.
Surprisingly, we have heard that some companies have launched products in accordance with
Addendum 3 on the Market, bearing the corresponding CE Marking (please note that this Marking does
not appear anywhere on their website). Taking into account what has previously been mentioned, we
consider that the customer deserves a serious and truthful explanation of the real situation.
Furthermore, as you know, Dynatech is certified by the TÜV Rheinland Notified Body according to
ISO 9001:2008 and the Appendix IX of the Lift Directive 95/16/EC. Dynatech is entitled to carry out
a self-certification process of the system and can execute it with complete technical self-sufficiency due
to the great deal of resources at its disposal; they even include ENAC (National Accreditation Body)
traceability, member of EA (European Cooperation for Accreditation) concerning calibration and
validation of test equipment.
Nevertheless, even if this self-certification process was carried out, the temporary circumstances of
Addendum 3 application would be the same. On the other hand, we remain faithful to our particular
work style and would rather proceed as usual, that is to say, going through the Notified Bodies to obtain
the CE Marking for our products.
To sum up:
1- On this day, Dynatech states that its products meet the requirements demanded by Addendum 3
100%.
2- Dynatech will provide its clients with the corresponding CE marking which may be demanded
by this amendment to the lift Standard when applicable and, therefore, requirable.
