How the compliance of elevators is verified
Elevators and elevator safety devices must undergo mandatory certification.
To do this the applicant must fill out and send us an application and attach the documents listed in paragraph 2.5 of Article 6 of TR CU 011/2011.
The tests require an assembled single production elevator, a type sample of a single production batch of elevators or a type sample of a standard series of elevators of serial production.
To test the elevator safety devices, it is required to provide a single manufacture safety device, type sample of the safety device of the single manufactured batch, sample size range of serial production safety device; component parts necessary to conduct tests of the certified safety device;
For products that are serially produced the certificate is issued for a period of up to 5 years. For single copies and elevators and elevator safety devices from a particular batch it is valid until the end of their service life.
Stages of certification
- The certification expert and project manager will explain the procedure in detail.
- They will send an exact list of documents that need to be collected in your case (including the documents required for the production evaluation if the certification scheme requires it).
- If the certification is for serial products, an expert from the certification body will analyze the state of production. It must be ensured that the manufacturer has the necessary conditions to ensure that the products comply with the requirements of TR CU 011/2011.
- Then the expert of the certification body will conduct sampling (in the case of serial production or a single production batch).
- Tests of selected samples or a single product shall be conducted by an accredited testing laboratory.
- If the results of tests and production verification are positive, the certification body will draw up and issue a certificate of conformity.
- If the certificate is issued for serial products, an inspection will be carried out at specified intervals during its validity. It is necessary to make sure that the manufactured products still meet the requirements, compliance with which was confirmed at certification.
