In my local Tesco the lift from the baselent carpark has a paper notice
stuck inside saying "In an emergency phone 0121*********"

I challenced a member of management about the fact that some people may not
have a mobile phone, some may not get a signal - and why was the notice
there - and it could easily get ripped off.

The flummoxed manager disn't know about the label but a member of staff
suggested that the number was the Lift Company and that the Emergency
button didn't work.

About 10 days later I went again and the paper notice is still there.

Can it be acceptable?

No

"Cars must be fitted with two-way means of communication allowing
permanent contact with a rescue service"

It would mean I'd not go near the bloody thing.
No I believe any lift without a functioning alarm is illegal in a public
building. When I got stuck in a lift at my place of work health and safety
were all over us since the only reason I got out was somebody heard me as
they passed the door.

When a colleague got stuck in one of the lifts at work for a couple of
hours, he managed to raise the alarm no problem. Then, as the lift was
fitted with a full, standard phone in a hatch, he used it to phone
friends for a chat!
