Foreword
This Part of BS 5655, prepared under the direction of the Mechanical Handling
Standards Committee, is the ninth Part of BS 5655 relating to lifts and service
lifts, which will be progressively published to supersede portions of BS 2655. The
complete standard will comprise the following Parts.
Part 1: Safety rules for the construction and installation of electric lifts
(implementing EN 81/1), together with PD 6500 Explanatory supplement to
BS 5655-1;
Part 2: Specification for hydraulic lifts;
Part 31): Safety rules for the construction and installation of electric service
lifts (will implement EN 81-3);
Part 41): Safety rules for the construction and installation of hydraulic
service lifts (will implement EN 81-4 if published);
Part 5: Specification for dimensions of standard electric lift arrangements
(implementing ISO 4190/1 and ISO 4190/3);
Part 62): Code of practice for selection and installation;
Part 7: Specification for manual control devices, indicators and additional
fittings (implementing ISO 4190/5);
