Sets out requirements for power-operated inclined lifts of the car or platform type for public and private use, other than stairway lifts, temporary lifts, or hoists used solely for building work, and amusement devices.

This standard sets out requirements for power-operated inclined lifts of the car of platform type for public and private use, other than-(a) stairway lifts (see AS 1735.7);(b) temporary lifts or hoists used solely for building work; and(c) amusement devices.This standard is complementary to AS 1735.1 and AS 1735.2, but the requirements of this standard take precedence over corresponding requirements of those standards.
