摘要

As the world economy continues to grow more global in nature, the demand for innovative products accelerates. The competition in ideas enhances consumer value in terms of safety, quality and performance. The Machinery and Lifts Directives spawned a wave of innovation in the elevator industry and inspired ISO to create documents and processes that could be widely adopted in order to support innovation with safety. The value of this approach has been recognized in several parts of the world and adoption and utilization of this important process is gaining momentum. This paper elaborates the Performance Based approach and describes how it is being embraced in various parts of the world.
