BS 8486-9:2018

The examinations and tests in BS 8486-9:2018 are intended to be applied prior to placing a liftinto service for first use. Attention is drawn to the implications of testing when the lift is in beneficialuse by builders or on any temporary supplies.Within BS EN 81-73:2016 there are certain requirements relating to the building into which the lift isinstalled. Since these requirements relate to elements of the building and building design, rather thanthe lift, it is not generally expected that they will be examined or tested. It is assumed that these itemshave been verified by the building owner/designer. However, it might be necessary to confirm thatthe items have been addressed by the persons responsible before the lift can be placed into service.Cross References:BS EN 81-73:2016BS EN 81-20:2014BS 8486-3:2017BS EN ISO 7010BS 8486-2BS 7255BS 8486-8BS 8486-1BS 8486-6 BS 8486-7BS 8486-4BS 8486-5BS 8486-10
