Certification of Passenger and Goods Lifts and Their Safety Components

Inspecta carries out EC-type examinations for people and goods lifts and safety components. Services are targeted to manufacturers of passenger lifts and lifting equipment. The directive applies to all lifts intended to carry people and any lift to which people have access to. The purpose of the directive is safety − common regulations ensure a high safety level in the design and manufacturing of lifts throughout the European Economic Area.

However product certification also means ensuring a products’ quality in the production stage as well. This benefits both the buyer and the producer. Products approved by Inspecta don’t have to be approved separately in different EU and EEA countries, which promotes competitiveness for manufacturers. Type examinations are also recognized as an indication of safety worldwide, so our services benefit companies exporting products outside the EU/EEA area, too.

In addition to mandatory product certification according to the Lifts Directive, Inspecta also offers voluntary product certification of lift components and technologies. This service gives you as manufacturer the means to assure the conformity of products and helps to prove this to your clients.
