Review of Australian Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Australian Standards are
subject to periodic review and are kept up to date by the issue of amendments or new editions as
necessary. It is important therefore that Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest
edition, and any amendments thereto.
Full details of all Australian Standards and related publications will be found in the Standards Australia
Catalogue of Publications; this information is supplemented each month by the magazine ‘The
Australian Standard’, which subscribing members receive, and which gives details of new publications,
new editions and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.
Suggestions for improvements to Australian Standards, addressed to the head office of Standards
Australia, are welcomed. Notification of any inaccuracy or ambiguity found in an Australian Standard
should be made without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.

This Standard was issued in draft form for comment as DR 97006.

The objective of this Standard is to provide requirements for power-operated stairway lifts
intended for use by persons with limited mobility.
This Standard is one of a series of Standards covering lifting devices which are able to 3eau2syda,

assist persons with limited mobility; other Standards in the series are as follows:

Part 7: Stairway lifts

*377 388u2SUda, Aig AZoTOUYDa,

1 SCOPE This Standard specifies requirements for power-operated stairway lifts
intended for use by persons with limited mobility. The lifts consist of a carriage,
incorporating a platform or a chair, or both, for raising or lowering persons along
stairways.
This Standard is complementary to AS 1735.1, but the requirements of this Standard take
precedence over corresponding requirements of that Standard.

‘wor 3a343suds="suOT=dTuasqns
Inspection requirements are given in Appendix A.
NOTE: Guidance on selection of lift type is given in Appendix B.

2 APPLICATION Lifts complying with this Standard are intended for passengers and
wheelchair applications. Goods shall not be carried.
