Specification for lifts, escalators, passenger conveyors and paternosters -- General requirements for electric, hydraulic and hand-powered lifts
This Part of this British Standard applies to electric, hydraulic and hand-powered passenger lifts, goods lifts and service lifts suspended by ropes or chains or supported by direct acting ram and employing a guided lift car installed in a situation where the structural requirements of Part 6 are carried out.
The requirements for passenger and goods lifts are combined in this standard, on the basis that goods lifts are capable of carrying persons and should thus be subject to the same safety requirements applicable to lifts intended for passenger operation.
The requirements for hand-powered lifts apply only to goods lifts, hoists and service lifts.
The standard does not apply to:
Minimum safety requirements for existing electric passenger, goods, and fireman's lifts, as well as for new and existing hydraulic passenger and service lifts.
Makes reference to lift components and control systems.
