Risk assessment of old elevators
Hazard and risk assessment of old elevators in order to improve elevator safety.
The Technical Safety Division of TUV NORD Lithuania conducts hazard and risk assessments for elevators in accordance with the Lithuanian standard LST EN 81-80 “Safety Rules for the Design and Installation of Elevators. In-Service Elevators. Part 80. Rules for Improving the Safety of In-Service Passenger and Passenger-Freight Elevators”
Elevator risk assessment is mandatory after the end of the elevator's operating period set by the elevator manufacturer or installer, or if it has not been set, after 25 years from the first day of use of the elevator (see " Rules for the Supervision of Elevator Use ", paragraph 10).
We would like to remind you that it is prohibited to use the elevator without a timely assessment of the dangers and risks posed by the elevator (see " Rules for the Supervision of the Use of Elevators ", paragraph 14.11).
