What is a Part M Passenger Lift Compliance Checklist?

A Part M Passenger Lift Compliance Checklist is a documentary tool that is typically used to record passenger lift inspection notes to ensure it complies with Part M Building Regulations. For context, Part M UK building regulations, titled “Access to and Use of Buildings”, consist of accessibility requirements for all new buildings, pursuant to the Equality Act of 2010 in the UK. However, passenger lift requirements are only a portion of the Part M document, of which are even divided into two volumes.

Thus, in order to efficiently prepare for passenger lift inspections without having to dig through the entire document, modern engineers turn to checklists to hone in on the relevant standards. This is important as passenger lifts are a critical safety and accessibility feature in many of today’s buildings and designs. Further, they often act as primary means of traversing different elevations or floors for children, the elderly, people with wheelchairs, or those with limited mobility. A Passenger Lift Compliance Checklist can help your team ensure that these lifts are well-designed and ready to accommodate people with different needs and limitations.

What are Passenger Lifts?

Passenger Lifts (also known as elevators) are fully enclosed, fully motor-driven systems that are designed to transport people, goods, and other light loads between different floors in a building. For many of today’s buildings, passenger lifts are the primary means of traversing a building vertically. Additionally, these lifts are highlighted in Part M as a key feature of inclusive building design to ensure good accessibility of a building.

In Part M, you may find passenger lifts and platform lifts mentioned several times across the two volumes. However, it is important to note that these two lifts, while essentially performing the same job, have very distinct qualities that should not be confused with each other. Passenger lifts are fully enclosed, travel at a moderately fast speed, and can carry the weight of several passengers. On the other hand, platform lifts feature either a partially enclosed or fully open lift, move at much slower speeds, and are typically designed to carry wheelchair users (and sometimes one other companion).

Why are Passenger Lift Accessibility Regulations Important?

Passenger lift regulations are set in place to ensure safety, reliability, and accessibility of all passenger lifts. Modern lifts are complex mechanical systems that, at any time, can carry several people up to great heights. Any malfunction could lead to serious risks to the well-being of the passengers inside. As a result, there are several regulations that now exist to ensure the system quality of modern lifts to lessen these risks as much as possible.

Unfortunately, regulations on accessibility can sometimes take a backseat to the mechanical aspect of passenger lifts. However, these regulations are nonetheless critical to ensure the safety and comfort of passengers like the elderly, people with wheelchairs, or people with limited mobility. Lift doors that close too quickly, buttons that are too high up on the wall, or even the lift itself not having enough space to fit a wheelchair in are all examples of issues that cause unnecessary inconvenience and, in worse situations, even cause injuries. Passenger Lift Accessibility regulations and compliance to these requirements help ensure that these issues are lessened as much as possible.
