Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard specifies the basic safety requirements for the design, manufacturing, installation, operation, maintenance, and inspection of automobile lifts. It applies to hydraulic transmission and mechanical transmission car lifts used for vehicle maintenance. It is mandatory for manufacturers and operators of car lifts in the Chinese market. The standard does not apply to other types of lifting equipment not specifically designed for automobiles.
Technical requirements
The standard outlines comprehensive safety requirements across several critical areas. For metal structures, it specifies material selection, welding requirements, and criteria for the repair and scrapping of main load-bearing components. Primary structural components must meet strict fatigue strength and stability criteria. Regarding main components, the standard sets safety factors for steel wire ropes (minimum 7 for lifting, 5 for balancing) and chains (minimum 5). It details scrapping conditions for ropes, chains, pulleys, and screws based on wear, deformation, and crack propagation. For hydraulic systems, the standard mandates overload protection, filtration, and specific safety factors for hydraulic pipes and hoses (e.g., 2.5 for steel pipes, 4 for hoses). Hydraulic systems must include a device allowing the lift to descend in the event of a power outage. The electrical and control systems must feature main power disconnects, emergency stop switches, and phase-loss protection. Control voltages must not exceed 36V, and operations must use a "release-to-stop" mechanism. The standard also specifies safety protection devices, including travel limiters, anti-fall devices, synchronization mechanisms, and guards for moving parts.
Testing methods
The standard requires daily checks before each shift, focusing on rope positioning, hose condition, and safety device functionality. Periodic inspections must assess structural integrity, hydraulic leaks, and component wear. For new, reinstalled, or majorly repaired lifts, rated load tests and overall performance testing are mandatory. Non-destructive testing (NDT) methods like ultrasonic and radiographic inspection are required for evaluating weld quality in main load-bearing structures.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 27695-2011?
GB 27695-2011 regulates automobile lifts used for vehicle maintenance, specifically those powered by hydraulic transmission or mechanical transmission.
Is GB 27695-2011 a mandatory standard?
Yes, many clauses within GB 27695-2011 are mandatory (indicated in the preface), covering critical aspects like metal structures, main components, hydraulic systems, electrical protection, and safety devices. Compliance is legally required for products sold and used in China.
What are the key safety devices required by this standard?
The standard requires several safety devices, including travel limit switches, anti-fall devices to prevent natural descent, synchronization devices for multi-arm lifts, and mechanical locking devices for both hydraulic and mechanical lifts.
