Keep your Lifts going up.
What are your responsibilities regarding the inspection of your elevators.
As an owner, or managing agent, of a building with an
elevator or escalator you have inherited duties and responsibilities as a “User” from the Lift, Escalator and
Passenger Conveyor Regulation. The department of
labour has set strict regulations to be followed by the
“User”. The regulation states that that no person shall
permit the use of a lift or escalator unless that person is
in possession of a valid comprehensive report
(e.g. Annexure B) issued by an Authorised Inspection
Authority. As an owner of an elevator or escalator you
have to ensure that each one is inspected by an authorised
inspection authority. This is where TÜV Rheinland can
help.
As an Authorised Inspection Authority, we can ease your
mind by performing the following required inspections:
Before such lift or escalator is put in use for the 1st
time
After any modification has been made
After any failure has occurred
Whenever there has been a change in the lift service
provider
At intervals not exceeding 24 months thereafter, or at
shorter intervals according to a in-house risk
assessment
® TÜV, TUEV and TUV are registered brand marks. Any use and application requires prior approval.
Recurring inspections
for recurring benefits
For operators of lift systems there are rules. Using a
powerful partner lies in his obligations and also the
opportunity to reduce costs.
You can depend on TÜV Rheinland. We act independently and provide an objective view of your lifts.
And all this with the best service and the experienced
know-how of a traditional company What particularly
distinguishes us is our specially trained staff. Because
when inspecting highly sensitive installations demand
supervision from real professionals.
