California Code of Regulations › Title 13 - Motor Vehicles › Division 2 - Department of the California Highway Patrol › Chapter 4 - Special Equipment › Article 11 - Exhaust System Certification › Section 1050 - Intent

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
This article and Sections
					 600 through
					 608 and
					 1030 through
					 1038 of this title are intended to
					 comply with Vehicle Code Section
					 27150.2.
					 After the study required by Vehicle Code Section
					 27150.3, an
					 additional study of passenger vehicles, and review of arguments and data
					 submitted by manufacturers and installers, the department has determined that a
					 simple noise test, as provided in Sections
					 1030 through
					 1038, is a practical way to
					 control the sale and installation of exhaust systems and parts that may exceed
					 noise limits set by Vehicle Code Sections
					 23130 and
					 23130.5. The
					 department has provided exemptions where compliance with these regulations
					 would result in undue hardship.
When an original exhaust system produces noise
					 substantially under the limits in Section
					 1036 of this title, manufacturers,
					 sellers, and installers must use caution to ensure that installing a certified
					 exhaust system or part does not significantly increase the noise in violation
					 of Vehicle Code Section
					 27151.
					 Increasing the noise would defeat the purpose of new vehicle limits in
					 California statutes and regulations.
Compliance with the provisions of this article does not
					 exempt any person from complying with other sections of the Vehicle Code except
					 as provided by Vehicle Code Section
					 27150.7, nor
					 from complying with any other provisions of law including but not limited to
					 Section
					 17500
					 of the Business and Professions Code and Section
					 3369 of the
					 Civil Code.

				  wheelchair lift from the stowed position to the position where it is ready to
				  be used.
(c) Lift Platform--A "lift
				  platform" is the part of a wheelchair lift upon which the wheelchair
				  rests.
(d) Stow--To "stow" means to
				  operate a wheelchair lift to the position in which it is kept while the vehicle
				  is in motion.
(e) Wheelchair
				  Lift--A "wheelchair lift" is a device designed to raise and lower persons in

California Code of Regulations › Title 13 - Motor Vehicles › Division 2 - Department of the California Highway Patrol › Chapter 4 - Special Equipment › Article 15 - Wheelchair Lifts › Section 1092 - Mechanical Requirements

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Wheelchair lifts shall comply with the following mechanical
					 requirements:
(a)
Design Load.
The design load of the lift shall be at
				  least 270 kg (595 lb). Working parts, such as cables, pulleys, and shafts,
				  which can be expected to wear and upon which the lift depends for support of
				  the load, shall be designed with a safety factor of at least six. Nonworking
				  parts, such as platform, frame, and attachment hardware which would not be
				  expected to wear, shall be designed with a safety factor of at least
				  three.
(b)
Controls.
Each control for deploying, lowering,
				  raising, and stowing the lift, and moving the barrier shall be of a momentary
				  contact type requiring continuous manual pressure by the operator and shall not
				  allow unintentional improper lift sequencing when the platform is occupied. The
				  controls shall be designed to be interlocked with the bus brakes and with the
				  accelerator or transmission so the bus cannot move when the lift is not stowed
				  and so the lift cannot deploy without engaging the interlock. As an
				  alternative, on buses equipped with hydraulic brakes, an interlock system which
				  complies with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements in Title
				  49, Code of Federal Regulations, Section
				  38.23(b)(2), as
				  published October 1, 1995, will be deemed to comply with the interlock
				  requirements of this section subject to the following conditions:
(1) The bus must be equipped with an
				  electrical warning device, clearly audible or visible from the driver's seating
				  position, which is activated at all times when the lift is not stowed and the
				  ignition switch is in the "on" or "run" position.
(2) If a transmission interlock is utilized
				  instead of a brake interlock, the transmission must be interlocked in the
				  "Park" position.
(3) A door
				  interlock will satisfy the requirement only if the door is also interlocked
				  with the vehicle's brakes or transmission in a manner that meets the
				  performance criteria set forth in (b), above.

Wheelchair lift manufacturers shall certify compliance of
					 individual models with this article as follows based upon tests conducted at
					 their own or other laboratories:
(a)
				  Certification Label--The certification information shall be permanently
				  imprinted on a part of each lift or on a label or metal plate permanently
				  attached to the lift. The certification shall be located so as to be visible
				  when the lift is installed in the vehicle in accordance with the lift
				  manufacturer's instructions.
(b)
				  Lettering--Lettering shall be at least 3.0 mm (0.12 in.) high.
(c) Required Data--The certification shall
				  contain the manufacturer's name and address, model number, serial number, month
				  and year of manufacture, and the statement: "This wheelchair lift conforms to
				  the California Code of Regulations requirements in effect on the date of
				  manufacture."

Wheelchair lifts shall be manufactured to be capable of
					 being installed in accordance with the following requirements:
(a) Control Location--The controls for
				  deploying, lowering, raising and stowing the lift and moving the barrier shall
				  be capable of being installed at a location, either interior or exterior, where
				  the bus driver or lift attendant has a full view of the lift platform, its
				  entrance and exit, and the wheelchair passenger, directly or with partial
				  assistance of mirrors. Lifts entirely to the rear of the driver's seat shall
				  not be operable from the driver's seat but shall have an override control at
				  the driver's position that can be set to prevent the lift from being operated
				  by the other controls (except for emergency manual operation after power
				  failure).
(b) Width and Depth of
				  Lift Assembly--The lift shall be designed so that it is capable of being
				  installed with no part of the assembly when stowed extending laterally beyond
				  the normal side contour of the bus nor vertically below the lowest part of the
				  rim of the wheel closest to the lift.
(c) Gaps--Gaps in the platform in areas over
				  which a wheelchair can roll shall not be greater than 15 mm (0.60 in.)
				  horizontally or greater than 6 mm (0.24 in.) vertically.
(d) Accessibility--All items requiring
				  inspection or maintenance shall be readily accessible. Covers and access doors
				  are permitted.
(e)
				  Instructions--The lift manufacturer shall supply the user with detailed
				  instructions for installing the lifts and recommended inspection and
				  maintenance schedules and procedures. The manufacturer shall supply operating
				  instructions with each lift sold so the instructions may be carried in the
				  bus.
