ASME A90.1 Safety Standard for Belt Manlifts

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of ASME A90.1 testing. A90.1 applies to the manufacture, installation, maintenance, inspection and operation of manlifts.

The human lifts included in this scope consist of steps (platforms) and accompanying handles mounted on or attached to an endless belt that runs vertically in one direction only and is supported by and driven by pulleys located above and below.

These manlifts are designed for the transport of persons only. This scope is not intended to cover moving staircases, closed platform elevators (Paternoster elevators), gravity elevators, or conveyors used solely to move materials.

The purpose of this Standard is to determine the safety requirements for passenger lifts. It is intended to be used as a standard reference by manufacturers, architects, facility designers, installers, and consulting engineers on manlift safety requirements and by manlift users and government authorities through voluntary submission.

Compliance with ASME A90.1 is important to manufacturers, installers, and users of belt lifts to ensure the safety of those who rely on these devices for vertical transportation in buildings. It is important to note that safety standards such as ASME A90.1 are updated periodically to reflect advances in technology and safety practices.
