The building regulations set out legal requirements for specific aspects of building design and construction. A series of approved documents provide general guidance about how different aspects of building design and construction can comply with the building regulations.

Approved document M, Volume 1: Dwellings (2015 edition incorporating 2016 amendments) defines liftway as a:

Vertical route linking all floors of a dwelling accommodating (or capable of accommodating) a lift or lifting platform.
