Subject to a quota limit of one place per National Paralympic Committee, the top 8 ranked male, and top 6 ranked female athletes in each weight division will gain a quota place for their NPC. If they are the only lifter from their NPC in that list, that lifter shall gain the place; if an NPC has two or more lifters in quota place ranking position, the choice of lifter will be for the NPC from that number.^[1]

Two further quota places per event will be awarded by the Bipartite Commission.^[1]
