Scope:

This Standard specifies requirements for installation, on-site testing, periodic inspection, and maintenance of hoists and body-support units intended for the transfer of disabled persons.

 

This Standard does not include requirements for the design or manufacture of hoists, nor does it address the conformance testing of product samples by the manufacturer or its agent.  See CSA Z10534-1.

 

This Standard does not apply to devices that transport persons between two levels (floors) of a building.

 

The requirements of this Standard are formulated with regard to the needs of both the disabled persons being hoisted and the attendant using the hoist.
