The hot topic

The new evacuation lift design standard introduced in July 2025 marks one of the most significant changes to building design in decades. It sets out detailed requirements for how evacuation lifts must be designed, protected, and integrated into buildings, and it requires close collaboration between fire, electrical, mechanical, architectural and vertical transportation engineers.

Our latest blog explains the key technical changes, the implications for design teams, and what organisations need to do to comply with the new standard.

Cundall VT will be delivering group and individual CPD presentations over the coming months to help organisations understand the new requirements and prepare for implementation. Please contact us using the link below if you would like more information.
