ISO/TR 25743:2010调查并强调了在各种紧急情况下使用电梯疏散人员的主要风险。 研究中的紧急情况类型是由正在研究的建筑物或与其相邻的建筑物中的火灾、洪水、地震、爆炸、生物或化学攻击、气体泄漏、雷电或风暴损坏引起的。 ISO/TR 25743:2010的目的是提供一个与电梯和建筑物设计相关的决策过程，以确定给定的设计是否能够使相关电梯以可接受的安全水平使用。

ISO/TR 25743:2010 investigates and highlights the main risks associated with using lifts (elevators) for the evacuation of persons in various types of emergency. The types of emergency under study arise from fire, flood, earthquake, explosion, biological or chemical attack, gas leakage, lightning or storm damage in the building being studied or a building adjacent to it. The purpose of ISO/TR 25743:2010 is to provide a process for making decisions relevant to the design of lifts and buildings, in order to determine if a given design can enable the lifts involved to be used with an acceptable level of safety.
