Reaffirmed 2017

1. Scope

1.1 This standard deals with lifts specifically designed for private homes up to maximum 4 stops (maximum rise of 10 m), where usage of the lift is restricted primarily to residents of the private homes. Unlike conventional lifts in high rise buildings which allow virtually unlimited access to members of the general public, in the case of home lifts, visitors will have limited access in exceptional circumstances, only under the supervision of the residents of the private homes.

1.2 This standard is intended to assist potential users and regulatory authorities who are already familiar with electric lifts complying with existing Indian standards (IS 14665 series).
