Safety in 2028, Predicting the Safety Level of Future Standards

摘要

Standards evolve all the time: for example, there are major differences between the first EN81-1 and the latest EN81-20. Most changes are initialized by "major events": faults are discovered/new visions are created, major accidents happen, or new technologies disrupt the industry. Furthermore, other industries can act as a precursor for the lift industries. However, if we analyses the changes of the standard throughout time, and find their causes, it will allow us to make a prediction regarding any future changes. In particular, to determine what the upcoming challenges for the lift industry are.
