FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 4/Sec 1 to 9) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Lifts and Escalators Sectional Committee had been approved by the Electrotechnical Division Council.

The necessity of lifts in multi-storeyed buildings has been so well recognized that no multi-storeyed building is planned without proper provision for lifts. The installation of lifts has been governed in states by different Lifts Act and Rules thereunder, which are intended to ensure safe installation and operation of the lifts. However, there is no uniformity in these rules regarding minimum standards of installation, which should be fulfilled for safe and reliable working of lifts and their components. This standard is intended to give necessary requirements for the components used in the lifts for safe installation, operation and maintenance of electric passenger, goods and service lifts.
