The inspection / certification services of lifts and lifts safety components are addressed to manufacturers, installers, maintainers of lifts and lifts safety components and also to building’s owners and building’s administrators.
The inspection of a lift includes a detailed examination of the lift and all related equipment. The purpose of the inspection is to identify any defects that are or may be hazardous and to examine the effectiveness and functionality of allsafety components to ensure the protection of users.
It is important the lift inspections not to be confused with the lift preventive maintenance.

CERTIFICATION OF NEW LIFTS & LIFTS SAFETY COMPONENTS
In the European Union all new lifts, before being put into service, shall be inspected and tested in order to determine their safety and compliance with the European Lift Directive 2014/33/EU and the relevant Harmonized Standards. The purpose of the inspection / certification of a new lift is to ensure a uniform level of safety for new lifts in all countries of the European Union. These CE lifts inspections / certifications are performed by Notified Bodies in the European Union.
The services provided by a Notified Body, as EUROCERT SA, in the field of inspection and certification of new lifts and lifts safety components, according the European Lift Directive 2014/33/EU, are the followings:
➢ Final inspection for lifts, Annex V
➢ Conformity based on unit verification for lifts, Annex VIII
➢ Conformity to type based on product quality assurance for lifts, Annex X
➢ Conformity based on full quality assurance plus design examination for lifts, Annex XI
➢ Conformity to type based on production quality assurance for lifts, Annex XII
➢ EU-type examination of lifts, Annex IVB
