This part of BS8486does not cover the following types of lift or lift equipment: positive drive lifts by use of drum and ropes; positive drive lifts by use of sprocket and chains; rack and pinion lifts conforming to DD222; variations from BSEN81-20 which might have been approved under design examination schemes by Notified Bodies.
