    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    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 - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    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 A2 Guidance on the selection of the preferred type of lift is given in Appendix B.
