15、e Mechanical Engineering Standards Committee. It is intended that equipment manufactured according to the requirements of this standard is only for installation and use in a private dwelling. It is assumed that a homelift complying with the requirements of this standard will be used only by a person

16、 either capable of using it safely and unaided after having been fully instructed in its use or, if not so capable, when adequately attended by an able-bodied person fully instructed in the safe and proper use of the equipment. Safeguards are incorporated to prevent unauthorized use or misuse by any

17、 person other than the intended user. This British Standard specifies minimum safety requirements for the design, construction, installation, operation and maintenance of manually driven balanced personal homelifts which are specifically to be used by disabled persons, with a view to safeguarding ag

18、ainst the risk of accidents associated with the operation of such equipment. Appendix A is included to assist potential purchasers by highlighting various important aspects that should be investigated when considering the installation of a homelift for a specific user. This appendix also gives guida

19、nce on the provision of operation instructions for the user, the services that should be provided and the considerations arising from changes of user or use. Additional information about homelifts is available from a number of sources, including the Disabled Living Foundation and similar information

20、 services, and local authority social services departments. Two related specifications for similar devices for use by disabled persons in private dwellings are: BS 5776, Specification for powered stairlifts. BS 5900, Specification for powered homelifts. A British Standard does not purport to include

21、 all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i

22、and ii, pages1to12, an inside back cover and abackcover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BS5965:1980 BSI 02-1999 1 1 Scope and field of application This British Stand

23、ard specifies minimum safety rules related to the design, construction, installation, operation and maintenance of manually driven balanced homelifts, which are to be specifically used by nominated disabled persons travelling between fixed floor levels, with a view to safeguarding against the risk o

24、f accidents associated with the operation of such equipment. The standard specifies requirements for homelifts that do not normally travel a vertical distance greater than 6 m. Homelifts complying with this standard are hand wound normally from within the carriage by the user, and may also be hand w

25、ound by an attendant standing alongside the homelift, but only when the carriage is loaded in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Equipment manufactured according to the requirements of this standard will be capable of being operated in the normal domestic environment (as regards tempera

26、ture and humidity); additional features will be necessary in more rigourous conditions. Besides stating the manufacturers responsibilities, the standard also details special features and actions that are the responsibility of the purchaser; these can be found in clauses 4.3, 5, 7.1.2, 7.2 and7.4, su

27、pported by guidance given in Appendix A. 2 References The titles of the standards publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 3 Definitions For the purposes of this British Standard the following definitions apply. 3.1 approach ramp a hinged flat surface, attached
