Structural, fire resistance requirements for equipment covered by Parts 1, 4 and 5.

This Part of this British Standard applies to the building construction requirements for escalators, lifts, passenger conveyors and paternosters. The requirements for lifts are subdivided into those for powered lifts and hand-powered lifts.

Additional building work requirements (such as fixings, cutting away for switches and “making good??) are not covered by the standard, and reference should be made to the drawings supplied by the manufacturer of the equipment.
