Requirements related to type tests of equipment, insofar as they are more demanding than the requirements of previous editions, do not apply to equipment previously acceptable to the statutory authority or other relevant authority having jurisdiction. Imperial dimensions accepted before metrication are deemed to be acceptable to the statutory authority or other relevant authority having jurisdiction. The term ‘new lift installations’ is not intended to refer to a requirement where a contract for supply and installation had been entered into prior to the date on which this edition of the Standard was published.
Before any lift is placed into service, measures shall be taken to ensure that the lift is safe to operate. A competent person shall validate that the lift is installed in accordance with the designer/manufacturer’s instructions or recommendation. The validation shall include confirmation that the lift is performing as per design intent; and all safety critical functions are performing as per design specifications. To ensure safety, protective measures shall be implemented in the course of design, manufacture, installation, inspection and testing.
NOTES:
1 Refer to the applicable State or Territory health and safety legislation for the duties and responsibilities of designer, manufacturer, importer, etc.
2 Consideration of health and safety legislation and State based regulations regarding falls in the workplace need also be considered for car top work and pit ladder entry areas as part of the plant design review and installation of the plant.
3 Safety is achieved by meeting applicable requirements of published Technical Standards and codes.
An upgrade to a lift shall consist of either one of the following:
(a) Complete removal of the existing lift and replacement with all new equipment. The newly replaced lift shall comply with and be tested fully to meet the requirements of this Standard.
(b) An alteration or a partial replacement of subsystems or components, whereby there is a mixture of old and new equipment. The new equipment that is installed shall be tested fully to comply with the requirements of this Standard.
NOTE: For existing equipment that has not been upgraded to be at least compliant to the Standard that the subsystems and components were first installed to, normal safety checks should be conducted to verify there is no incompatibility or malfunction in the older existing components and their interaction with upgraded components or subsystems.AS 1735.1 pdf free download.
