Elevator Certification Processes - Global Approach and Regional Certification

摘要

In the global world of today, the manufacturers and installers of elevators (lifts) and elevator components want to place their products on all markets. The two existing approaches - the European Lifts Directive (Certification of products) and the North American ASME A17.7/CSA B44.7 (Certification of deviations) - are disparate in their application. TUV SUD as an AECO per ASME A17.7/CSA B44.7 (TUV SUD America Inc.) and a Notified Body per European Lifts Directive (TUV SUD Industrie Service GmbH) will explain the different elevator certification procedures to meet the applicable certification requirements.
