Towards Greater Uniformity of Worldwide Elevator Standards

摘要

The safety of elevator equipment is an imperative throughout the world. Elevator Codes and Standards are the de-facto universal means of ensuring safety and have evolved simultaneously with public expectations. Major economic growth in the Asia-Pacific Area (APA) has led to unprecedented urban development with corresponding demand for elevator equipment. The changing global economic structure has led to greater participation in elevator standards development by APA experts in ISO activities. In response to global demand, a series of ISO Prescriptive Standards will soon be published and together with enhanced ISO Performance-Based Standards will provide state-of-the-art norms for standard and innovative products.
