Defines requirements and test methods only for hoists and body-support units intended for the transfer of disabled persons as classified in ISO 9999:2002: - 12 36 03 Mobile hoists with sling seats; - 12 36 04 Standing mobile hoists; - 12 36 06 Mobile hoists with solid seats; - 12 36 09 Hoist trolleys; - 12 36 12 Stationary hoists fixed to the wall/walls, floor and/or ceiling; - 12 36 15 Stationary hoists fixed to, mounted in or on another product; - 12 36 18 Stationary free-standing hoists; - 12 36 21 Body-support units for hoists.

This International Standard specifies requirements and test methods only for hoists and body-support units intended for the transfer of disabled persons as classified in ISO9999:2002:

• 123603 Mobile hoists with sling seats

• 123604 Standing mobile hoists

• 123606 Mobile hoists with solid seats

• 123609 Hoist trolleys

• 123612 Stationary hoists fixed to the wall/walls, floor and/or ceiling

• 123615 Stationary hoists fixed to, mounted in or on another product

• 123618 Stationary free-standing hoists

• 123621 Body-support units for hoists

This International Standard does not apply to devices that transport persons between two levels (floors) of a building.

It does not include methods for the determination of ageing or corrosion of such hoists and units.

The requirements of this International Standard are formulated with regard to the needs of both the disabled persons being hoisted and the attendant using the hoist.
