SNEL in France Implementation and
results
WHY SUCH A LAW ?
Several fatal accidents : May 2001 & May 2002
The French media emphasized the events - Safety & Security are major citizens and politicians concerns- The Lift is part of daily life- Everybody feels concerned
THE FRENCH AUTHORITIES CONSIDERED THE SUBJECT AS A PRIORITY
French SNEL LAW
MINISTER GILLES de ROBIEN ON JULY 15th, 2002→ The owners have 15 years to retrofit 17 risks on their existing
lifts → A maintenance contract is compulsory, contents are clarified
(responsibilities) → Technical control by 3rd party every 5 years
FRENCH PORTFOLIO IN 2003
450 000 units
60% > 20 years old
2000 accidents / year
10 fatal accidents /year (users & employees)
3 retrofit regulations (1951, 1986, 1995)
Only 2% of lifts are modernised each year
1st phase : ended 31/12/2010
Unsafe locking device of landing door
Unlocking of landing door possible without a special tool
No or inadequate devices on power operated doors
Partially enclosed well with too low enclosure
No or inadequate safety gear Inadequate length of car apron
Insufficient safety spaces in headroom and/or pit
No or unsafe means of access to machine and pulley room Inadequate locking devices on
access to well and pit

2nd phase: before July 2013
Drive system with bad levelling accuracy lifts < 1982
No or inadequate alarm device Inadequate glass in doors
Insufficient protection and marking of electrical equipment
No or inadequate means on sheaves pulleys and sprockets against injury
Inadequate lighting in machine & pulley room

3rd phase: before July 2018
Ascending overspeed Drive system with bad levelling accuracy lifts > 1982
MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION
MAINTENANCE OBLIGATIONS Inspired by EN 13015, with no deregulation
→ Clarify owners and maintenance companies obligations
→ Increase the level of contractual requirements
PERIODICAL TECHNICAL INSPECTION
Inspired by EN 13013-1 and EN81-80
→ Achieved by independent & competent third party
→ Periodicity = 5 years

IMPACT ON SAFETY OF USERS
• Serious and fatal accidents were reduced drastically in 10 years • Most serious & fatal accidents have a cause covered by the 17 measures • Accidents occurred where the measures were not yet applied • Since 2000, 85% of these accidents could have been prevented by the SNEL law

Evolution 2008 2012 :- Total : 43% reduction- Stopping accuracy : 47% reduction- Doors protection : 33% reduction- Safety gear : 37% reduction
Main causes 2012 :- 41% fall due to bad stopping accuracy- 27% lack of protection on automatic doors- 12% excessive deceleration during stopping
3 main causes = 78% of the accidents

MAIN CONCLUSIONS ON USERS ACCIDENTS
These figures show that the SNEL law has positively impacted serious accidents which were covered by the 1st step of SAE. If nothing had been done, their number would have probably doubled as the other accidents were not yet affected by the SAE law.

MAIN CONCLUSION FOR WORKERS
■ Only 20% of the accidents are covered by SAE (modernisation & installation not covered & no impact on travelling accidents) ■ SAE 2010 only covers space in extreme position & machine room access ■ -60% of accidents due to unsafe access to machine room■ Only 3 fatal accidents the last 3 years
OTHERS IMPACTS OF THIS LAW
Reliability was improved after the start-up period Contribution to refurbishment of portfolio and
suppression of obsolescence Harmonized safety level on all lift generations Improved accessibility with alignment to EN 81-70
when possible (signals, buttons, remote alarm, level accuracy,…).
Impact on energy savings (Frequency converters, LEDS, stand-by…)
