With reference to marine elevators, the applicable rules and regulations are the following:

2. EN 81-20 defines the technical requirements for the construction of elevators and for the testing of lift components, bringing benefits in terms of safety and accessibility for both passengers and service technicians.
3. EN 81-80 stipulates rules for the improvement of the safety of existing passenger and goods passenger elevators.
4. EN-13015 deals with “maintenance for lifts and escalators”. It governs the rules for maintenance instructions.
