GOST R 52382-2010 PDF

Full title and description

GOST R 52382-2010 — "Passenger lifts. Firefighters lifts" (ГОСТ Р 52382-2010, Лифты пассажирские. Лифты для пожарных). The standard sets special safety, design and operational requirements for passenger lifts intended to provide service to firefighting and rescue operations.

Abstract

This national standard (Russia) specifies additional safety requirements for passenger lifts that are designated or configured for use by fire-fighting personnel (often called "firefighters' lifts"). It adapts and references the relevant provisions of the European regional standard EN 81‑72:2003 and addresses aspects such as permitted materials, communication and signaling, machine-room and shaft protections, special operating modes (e.g., "fire hazard" / rescue modes), and dimensional/performance criteria for stretcher transport. The document was prepared by OAO MOS OTIS and approved by the Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology.

Scope

Applies to passenger lifts that must meet general safety requirements (for example those in ГОСТ Р 53780) and to the special safety provisions for firefighters' lifts. The standard was intended for new lifts installed in new or reconstructed buildings and for replacement of lifts in existing buildings; it may also be used as a normative basis for modernization and certification where applicable. The action of the standard is limited to the moment when hazardous fire factors (and water) penetrate the lift lobby or the airlock serving the firefighters' lift.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and classification of firefighters' lifts and operational modes (e.g., "fire hazard" / "transportation of fire crews").
• Requirements for cabin size and door openings to permit stretcher transport (minimum dimensional guidance).
• Performance criteria for response time / speed to deliver fire crews to required floors (time limits from door closing to arrival at target floor).
• Requirements for two‑way communication and dedicated signaling between cabin and landing / control points during firefighting operations.
• Material and fire-performance requirements (references to combustibility and spread-of-flame tests and related GOST methods).
• Integration with building fire-detection and alarm systems; automated transition to special fire modes on alarm.
• Protection rules for shafts, machine rooms and equipment to limit exposure to fire and water during emergency operations.

Typical use and users

Engineers and designers of lift systems, lift manufacturers and installers, fire-safety engineers, building code and compliance officers, certifying bodies, facility managers and maintenance contractors use this standard when specifying, installing, testing or certifying firefighters' lifts in Russia (or when referencing historical Russian practice). Project teams used it for new construction, major modernization and replacement projects prior to its withdrawal/supersession.

Related standards

Related and subsequent standards include EN 81‑72 (the European regional standard referenced in the text, EN 81‑72:2003 in GOST R 52382-2010), national lift safety standards such as ГОСТ Р 53780 (general lift safety requirements), and the later intergovernmental standard ГОСТ 34305-2017 (EN 81‑72:2015) that became the modern reference for firefighters' lifts in Russia. When GOST R 52382-2010 was withdrawn, authorities directed use of the newer intergovernmental standard (ГОСТ 34305-2017 / EN 81‑72:2015) on the Russian territory.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST R 52382-2010 is a Russian national standard titled "Passenger lifts. Firefighters lifts" that set out special safety and operational requirements for lifts intended for firefighting and rescue use.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers design, dimensional, material and operational requirements for firefighters' lifts, including special operating modes, communication requirements, fire-performance references and interactions with building fire-detection systems. The standard referenced and aligned much of its content with EN 81‑72:2003.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Lift manufacturers, designers, fire-safety engineers, certifying bodies, installation and maintenance contractors, and building project teams involved in specifying and validating firefighters' lifts.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: GOST R 52382-2010 is no longer in force; its stated end of validity is 15 February 2020. The subject is now governed by a later intergovernmental standard, ГОСТ 34305-2017 (EN 81‑72:2015), which is the modern applicable reference in the Russian system.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes. It formed part of the suite of lift-related standards that cover general safety (e.g., ГОСТ Р 53780), dimensions and parameters (e.g., ГОСТ 5746), and harmonization with EN/ISO guidance for lifts; later work consolidated firefighters' lift requirements into ГОСТ 34305-2017 (EN 81‑72:2015).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Firefighters' lift, passenger lift, fire mode, rescue mode, EN 81‑72, lift safety, cabin dimensions, two-way communication, fire protection, GOST R 52382-2010.
