BS 8486-1:2007 Examination and test of new lifts before putting into service – Specification for means of determining compliance with BS EN 81 – Part 1: Electric lifts

This part of BS 8486 specifies one means of determining compliance with the provisions for examination, testing and recording results for new electric lifts specified in BS EN 81-1:1998, before being put into service. This part of BS 8486 does not cover the following types of lift or lift equipment:
a) positive drive lifts by use of drum and ropes;
b) positive drive lifts by use of sprocket and chains;
c) rack and pinion lifts conforming to DD 222;
d) hydraulic lifts conforming to BS EN 81-2;
NOTE 1 Hydraulic lifts are covered in BS 8486-2.
e) Programmable Electronic Systems in Safety Related Applications for Lifts (PESSRAL).
NOTE 2 Due to the varied nature of such equipment the manufacturers of these systems should provide full details of the means by which it can be tested. Since on site testing might not be practical or possible, this may be verification of design as certified by the party responsible for quality assurance under the Lifts Regulations 1997 [1].
This part of BS 8486 also specifies a means of determining compliance with the provisions for examination and testing of electric lifts specified in:
1) BS EN 81-28:2003;
2) BS EN 81-70:2003;
3) BS EN 81-71:2005;
4) BS EN 81-72:2003;

General Specification for Civil Engineering Works (GS)

The General Specification for Civil Engineering Works lays down the quality of materials, the standards of workmanship, the testing methods and the acceptance criteria for civil engineering works undertaken for the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Where necessary, this General Specification should be supplemented by a particular specification. The 2006 Edition of the General Specification comprises considerable greening of the Eighth Reprint of the 1992 Edition (October 2002) according to the current green practices of the construction industry. The text relating to "green measures" is printed in green colour in this Edition with a view to making it easier for reader's reference. It was produced over a 15-month period from March 2005 under the guidance of a Steering Committee comprising members from the main Government departments involved in civil engineering works. The greening of each section was undertaken by a works department with the appropriate expertise. The Standards Unit of Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD) was responsible for the overall co-ordination of comments received from departmental circulation, editing and production of the document. Amd 1/2007 Sustainability is the prime objective of the 2006 Edition. Two new sections, viz. Environmental Protection (Section 25) and Preservation and Protection of Trees (Section 26) have been created. The original Section 22 for Railways Works has been deleted, as construction of railways is no more the responsibility of works departments. The 2006 Edition comprises 26 sections and is posted on the CEDD Homepage on the Internet. The General Specification will be updated continuously. The electronic files of the sections affected by any amendment issued will be kept up-to-date on the CEDD Homepage.
