ISO 8100‑30 specifies the necessary dimensions to permit the installation of passenger lifts of classes I, II, III, and VI.
These dimensions reflect the requirements for the apparatus.

However, for arrangements with a counterweight at the side, a through-entrance configuration is possible. Where relevant, this document is also applicable to an installation in an existing building.
Note: ISO 8100‑30 is not applicable to lifts of rated speed greater than 6,0 m/s.
