Isolated or temporary interruptions in service due to maintenance or repairs may be unavoidable; however, failure to take prompt action to effect repairs could constitute a violation of Federal laws and these requirements. Floor surfaces in platform lifts shall comply with and See notes below regarding and Clear floor space in platform lifts shall comply with See notes below regarding NOTE: A Controls for platform lifts shall comply with Also, sometimes power-operated doors or gates are installed because the required maneuvering clearance see rule Platform lifts shall have low-energy power-operated doors or gates complying with Doors shall remain open for 20 seconds minimum.
End doors and gates shall provide a clear width 32 inches mm minimum. Side doors and gates shall provide a clear width 42 inches mm minimum. Section , Floor or Ground Surfaces as referenced by above require slip-resistant and stable flooring for platform lifts Section , Changes in Level as referenced by above : according to rules Additionally, rule These restrictions on level changes are important for platform lifts when a lift is floor-mounted at the lower landing as there will be a level change from the lower landing to the platform floor, and these restrictions will apply.
Unless the lift frame and platform floor are recessed into an installation pit at lower level, there will be a level change at the lower level entrance.
Some jurisdictions require that all lifts must be recessed. For a list of platform lift comparisons, see our link here. While the A Section Clear Floor or Ground Space as referenced by above : However, this is not the case, as The clear floor space of a platform is confined in such a manner.
Accordingly, per Similarly, per Section Operable Parts as referenced by above : Rule The clearance is measured from the door surface when it is opened 90 degrees to the opposite door frame. Parallel approaches require even more space. Doors with spring hinges can move from 70 degrees to full close in no less than 1.
This applies only to the continuous force required to open the door; the force required to overcome initial door inertia can be greater or to disengage closing devices can be greater. The maneuvering clearances required for manual swing doors in Though local code standards are derived from federal regulations, there are often many differences the Department of General Services provides a succinct explanation as to why this is the case.
However, where codes conflict, the more stringent code has precedence, unless otherwise authorized by the AHJ. These codes are adopted and implemented statewide, often with amendment.
Currently, all 50 U. The following is a state-by-state link to U. Since , new versions of A Each version of the safety standard lists the changes that have been incorporated in that version.
