This British Standard specifies requirements for the design, construction, and installation of powered domestic lifts which are designed for use by persons with impaired mobility travelling between fixed floor levels in private dwellings. It applies to lifts that serve two floors only and that have partially enclosed cars without lift-well enclosures.
In addition to the definitive requirements, this standard also requires the items detailed in clause 4 to be documented. For compliance with this standard, both the definitive requirements and the documented items have to be satisfied.
NOTE Guidance to the purchaser of a lift, on behalf of a specific user, is given in annex A.
