Specification for manually driven balanced personal homelifts

PUBLISH DATE 1980
PAGES 16
BSI BS 5965:1980

This British Standard specifies minimum safety rules related to the design, construction, installation, operation and maintenance of manually driven balanced homelifts, which are to be specifically used by nominated disabled persons travelling between fixed floor levels, with a view to safeguarding against the risk of accidents associated with the operation of such equipment.

The standard specifies requirements for homelifts that do not normally travel a vertical distance greater than 6 m.

Homelifts complying with this standard are hand wound normally from within the carriage by the user, and may also be hand wound by an attendant standing alongside the homelift, but only when the carriage is loaded in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Equipment manufactured according to the requirements of this standard will be capable of being operated in the normal domestic environment (as regards temperature and humidity); additional features will be necessary in more rigourous conditions.

Besides stating the manufacturers’ responsibilities, the standard also details special features and actions that are the responsibility of the purchaser; these can be found in clauses 4.3, 5, 7.1.2, 7.2 and 7.4, supported by guidance given in Appendix A.

Minimum safety rules related to the design, construction, installation, operation and maintenance of manually driven balanced personal homelifts which are to be specifically used by nominated disabled persons. These lifts are normally hand-wound from the carriage but may also be hand-wound by an attendant.
