Being Updated - Lifts (elevators) (c-PCR to PCR 2019:14) (Version 1.0.1)

Open consultation of the draft PCR took place 2025-05-26 until 2025-07-21. Now the PCR is being updated based on the open consultation comments received. The PCR is expected to be published in Q4 2025. 

The validity period of the PCR was further extended by 6 months, until 2026-04-30, due to the initiation of an updating process.

The original version of this PCR was published 2020-10-30.

Any questions related to the PCR, please contact the PCR Moderator Nikolay Minkov. If you have general questions on the PCR development process, please contact the Secretariat .

This document provides complementary product category rules (c-PCR) to PCR 2019:14 Construction products. This document cannot be used by itself but shall be used together with PCR 2019:14 and the European standard EN 15804:2012+A2:2019 (called EN 15804 for short), for the applicable product category. The c-PCR has replaced the expired stand-alone PCR for lifts (PCR 2015:05).

This c-PCR provides category rules for the assessment and declaration of the environmental performance (by means of an EPD) of lifts (elevators), which is a sub-set of UN CPC 4354 Lifts, skip hoists, escalators and moving walkways, which includes many different types of machinery. However, the scope of this PCR is limited to machinery defined as lifts (elevators), since production technologies and functionality are specific. Therefore, the PCR cannot be used for other type of products (e.g. skip hoists, escalators or moving walkways) classified under the same UN CPC 4354.

Lifts covered by this PCR can be designed for transportation of persons or freights (goods and materials), or both and can have vertical or inclined trajectories. Lift systems consist of subsystems and components, which may be grouped differently depending on the product structure definition, applied by the respective company (lift manufacturer).

This c-PCR and PCR 2019:14 are limited to those products that are used as construction products. Products used in other applications are outside of the scope.

More information about the product group can be found in the PCR.
