What does D19 require?

Where a lift is provided, all people must be able to travel vertically to the other storeys and use the relevant facilities conveniently and independently. Every floor must be served by at least one passenger lift that meets all the Division's obligatory requirements and opens directly onto the main lift lobby, with the other passenger lifts complying with the door and control button items; the accessible lift car is at least 1200 mm by 1100 mm with a clear entrance of 850 mm and handrails reaching to within 150 mm of the rear and side corners, gripping surface 850 mm to 950 mm high and 30 mm to 50 mm clear of the wall, and where a building has more than three lifts at least one serving every floor has a car of at least 1500 mm by 1400 mm. Lift car and landing doors are horizontally sliding, power-operated and automatic, with an audible closing signal and an obstacle detection device 500 mm to 600 mm above the car floor that reopens the doors; essential car buttons (floors, alarm, door open) and landing call buttons sit 900 mm to 1200 mm above the floor, with a secondary panel where the Division requires; and the later items set the indication and notification in cars and lobbies and the identification of accessible lifts. The Best Practice Section covers larger cars and voice announcements.
