SaFed A.16, A.18, A.19, A.21 Hydraulic Lift Tests

by Ash Chandler, from the Community

This SaFed supplementary testing template guides competent persons through A.16, A.18, A.19 and A.21 checks for hydraulic lifts. Verify hydraulic system integrity with pressure tests, assess rupture and restrictor valves, confirm electrical anti-creep operation, and test low pressure detection. Capture methods, readings, pass or fail results, and recommendations to maintain safety and compliance over periodic inspections.

Lift Safed Checklist
This Lift Safed checklist is a comprehensive form for commissioning, inspection, and periodic testing of passenger and goods lifts. It guides technicians through earth continuity checks, electrical safety devices, terminal speed reduction, landing door interlocks, overspeed governors, safety gear (instantaneous and progressive), hydraulic systems, brakes and leveling, car/counterweight balance, and automatic doors. Record site details, lift identification, methods of test, measurements, observations, and any remedial actions required. Use it to verify compliance with OEM requirements and standards such as LOLER, document results, and capture sign-off for safer lift operations on construction and building sites.

A.2 Electrical Safety Devices SaFed
This template supports a supplementary in situ test of electrical safety devices on lifts to verify their correct function. It guides a Competent Person through checks on switches, wiring terminations, earth continuity and visible condition, with prompts to document failures, test methods, and whether remedial work is required. Examples include testing over travel limits by overtravelling the lift, activating return pulley switches by lowering the weight, and confirming safety gear switch operation. Use the checklist to capture site and lift details, results, and recommendations to help maintain compliance and safety.

A.8 A.9 A.10 SaFed Testing on Lift Safety Gears
This template supports supplementary testing of lift safety gear systems under SaFed guidance, covering A.8 instantaneous governor-operated safety gears, A.9 progressive types, and A.10 devices operated by other means. It outlines test objectives and methods to ensure the overspeed governor and safety gear stop the car without brake assistance, verifies mounting, settings, and the integrity of car, counterweight, guide rails and fixings, and prompts visual checks, dynamic test conditions, and documentation of results. Use it to record load, activation speed, stopping performance, observations, and recommended remedial actions, with guidance on periodic testing intervals and post-test inspections to prevent deterioration.

A.1 Earth Continuity Test (SaFed)
This SaFed A.1 Earth Continuity checklist supports safe operation and maintenance of lifts by verifying robust earthing across car, landing doorframes, machine, controller and guides. It prompts resistance checks with a calibrated multimeter, confirms fuse protection of the safety circuit, references BS7671 guidance, flags a 0.5 ohm threshold, and records findings, recommendations and any remedial actions required.
