Full title and description

ISO 4190-1:2010 — Lift (Elevator) installation — Part 1: Class I, II, III and VI lifts. This international standard specifies the necessary dimensions and related installation requirements to permit the correct installation of passenger lifts of classes I, II, III and VI in new buildings.

Abstract

ISO 4190-1:2010 gives dimensional data (car sizes, hoistway/pit/headroom and machine-room clearances), rated loads and speeds, and related installation guidance needed to plan and install passenger lifts of classes I, II, III and VI. The dimensions reflect apparatus requirements and are intended for new installations irrespective of drive system.

Scope

Specifies the necessary dimensions to permit the installation of passenger lifts of classes I, II, III and VI, including car and entrance configurations. It is applicable to new lift installations (all drive types) with a car with entrance to be installed in a new building. The standard focuses on dimensional and installation requirements rather than detailed safety or manufacturing specifications.

Key topics and requirements

• Standard car (cabin) dimensions and preferred Renard series sizes for rated loads and capacities.
• Hoistway (shaft) horizontal dimensions determined by entrance and drive configurations.
• Pit depth, headroom and machine-room height requirements tied to rated speed and equipment layout.
• Rated loads and rated speeds ranges commonly used for passenger lifts (listed preferred values).
• Definitions of lift characteristics (rated load, rated speed, machine room height) and other installation-related terms.
• Guidance on door/entrance configurations and number of entrances per car (one- or two-entrance arrangements where applicable).
• Notes on applicability limits (for example, arrangement exceptions such as side counterweight through entrances are covered by successor documents).

Typical use and users

Used by lift/elevator manufacturers, lift installation designers, architects, structural and building services engineers, building contractors, facility managers and standards/regulatory bodies when specifying shaft and machine-room dimensions during building design and retrofit planning. Also referenced by procurement teams and consultants to align building openings and equipment layouts with manufacturer requirements.

Related standards

Key related documents include other parts of the ISO 4190 series (notably ISO 4190-2 for class IV lifts), the technical corrigendum ISO 4190-1:2010/Cor 1:2011, and the later replacement ISO 8100-30:2019 (which superseded ISO 4190-1:2010). Practitioners also commonly consult regional safety and installation standards such as EN 81 series (safety rules for the construction and installation of lifts) and national codes (for example ASME A17.1 in North America) for safety and regulatory requirements.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 4190-1:2010 is an international standard that provided dimensional requirements and installation guidance for passenger lifts of classes I, II, III and VI.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers dimensional data necessary for installation (car/cabin sizes, hoistway/shaft widths and depths, pit depth, headroom and machine-room heights), preferred rated loads and speeds, and related installation definitions and notes for new installations.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Lift manufacturers, installation and design engineers, architects, building services teams, contractors, facility managers and standards bodies use it when planning or specifying lift installations and coordinating building openings and equipment layouts.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 4190-1:2010 has been withdrawn and superseded by ISO 8100-30:2019. A technical corrigendum to ISO 4190-1 was published in 2011, but the definitive replacement is ISO 8100-30:2019 (published in 2019).

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes. It is part of the ISO 4190 family (installation standards for lifts); related parts cover other lift classes (for example ISO 4190-2 for class IV) and the series has been updated and reorganized into ISO 8100 series documents.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Lift, elevator, installation, hoistway, shaft, cabin, car dimensions, pit, headroom, machine room, rated load, rated speed, Renard series.
