Abstract

Specifies requirements for low-speed passenger lifts controlled by a constant pressure device. It is intended that the Standard be applied only for lifts used primarily by persons with limited mobility.

Scope

This Standard specifies requirements for low-rise, low-speed lifts controlled by a continuous pressure device.
This Standard is complementary to AS 1735.1, but, the requirements of this Standard take precedence over the corresponding requirements of AS 1735.1.
NOTES:
1 Guidance on periodic inspection and testing is given in Appendix A
2 Guidance on the selection of the preferred type of lift is given in Appendix B.
