Elevator Testing and Inspection

Safe technology that gets people off the ground

Elevator systems, such as passenger elevators, lifts for persons with impaired mobility, freight elevators, construction hoists, facade lifts and paternoster lifts, are an integral part of our everyday lives. Day in, day out, they ensure the smooth operation of the logistical infrastructure in industrial plants, commercial and residential buildings, and in many other key areas of our economy and service-oriented society. But the constant operational readiness and heavy use demand maximum safety, failure-free operation, and a high degree of economic efficiency. Safe and efficient elevator technology therefore requires the highest level of testing expertise, since, as the operator you are responsible for a safe operation. As an officially notified and authorized inspection body, we offer a comprehensive elevator service portfolio to support you throughout the entire life cycle of your elevator system in fulfilling your obligations as operator, during construction and commissioning, with all tests and inspections as well as during the digitalization and modernization of your elevator systems.

Top expertise for the digitalization of your elevator systems

The modernization of elevator systems and the digitalization of elevator components requires a broad and in-depth state-of-the-art expert knowledge. From the planning stage to ensuring a smooth operation, we offer you first-class support in this specialized area by providing a comprehensive service portfolio that makes your systems more efficient and therefore future-proof. The increasing digitalization of elevator systems makes cybersecurity an issue that must be addressed as well.

Comprehensive operational security is no longer possible without cybersecurity.

Today, comprehensive operational security must always include cybersecurity. Every day, we hear about cyber-attacks and their impact. The digitalization and interconnection of elevator systems increases the vulnerability to such attacks, which can have serious consequences, including people becoming trapped, emergency call systems failing, control systems being manipulated and elevators breaking down. Operators of elevator systems should therefore rethink their risk assessments and take appropriate, documented protective measures to ensure safety and security.

Do you have questions about cybersecurity for elevator systems?

We have already answered some of the most frequently asked questions for you here:

  • Information for operators of elevator systems
  • Information for manufacturers of elevator systems
  • Information on non-conformities in test certificates

Elevator systems are subject to mandatory monitoring. Regulations in Germany specify for example that in the future, in addition to verifying functional safety, elevators must also be assessed for cybersecurity. Learn more about the anticipated regulatory changes.

Elevator safety after natural disasters

Natural disasters also affect elevator systems. For example, defects in mechanical equipment or electrical systems, changes to the building structure, or the malfunction of essential safety components can increase the risk potential making the safe operation of the elevator system no longer possible. If your elevator system or system components have been forced "out of operation" because of an exceptional occurrence, contact us to coordinate the necessary steps.

The following steps are necessary:

Step 1

The elevator system must undergo an initial functional test, possibly a cleaning and measurements.

Step 2

Afterwards, any necessary measures must be carried out, such as replacing defective components.

Step 3

Next, an inspection by an authorized inspection body is required so that the employer/operator can prove the safe operation of the elevator system.

Step 4

If, for example, there is a risk that substances hazardous to water could enter the groundwater, further measures may be necessary.
