E3D2 requires that an electric passenger lift and an electrohydraulic passenger lift installation in a building comply with Specification 24 for building-related matters. This would include ventilation and lighting of the lift car and foyer access as well as ventilation of the lift shaft.

The conditions in the lift car and the lift shaft machinery are dependant on the conditions in the lift shaft. If the lift shaft air temperature can be elevated due to the effects of the sun, then adequate treatment such as ventilation may be required to maintain safe conditions in the lift shaft along with satisfactory operating temperatures for the lift car machinery and car.

An electric passenger lift may also be a combined electric passenger and goods lift.

An electrohydraulic passenger lift may also be a combined electrohydraulic passenger and goods lift.
