Statutory basis, cited on the form

Guidance and standards relied on

These are not law. HSE guidance carries no statutory force in itself, British Standards and NASC technical guidance are industry documents, and the Joint Code of Practice is an insurers' code. They are what the document is built to — and where a court would look for the standard of the reasonable contractor.

  • BS EN 81-20:2020 (safety rules for the construction and installation of lifts — passenger and goods passenger lifts)
  • BS EN 81-50:2020 (safety rules for the construction and installation of lifts — examinations and tests)
  • BS 8486-1:2007+A1:2011 (examination and test of new lifts before putting into service — electric lifts
  • BS EN 81-41:2010 (vertical lifting platforms intended for use by persons with impaired mobility)
  • BS 7212:2016 (code of practice for the safe use of construction hoists)
  • BS 7671:2018+A4:2026 (IET Wiring Regulations, 18th edition, Amendment 4)
