Lifts Directive

Third-Party assessment of the lifts conformity.

Directive 2014/33/EU requires that, prior to their commissioning, lifts must pass a conformity assessment by a Notified Body, or receive a CE marking and be commissioned directly by the installation company, but only if the latter operated with a certified management system under the said Directive.

Service Details:

  • final Examination – Annex V
  • unit Verification – Form G (Annex VIII)
  • certification of the installer’s management system (Total Quality Guarantee plus Project Examination – Form H1 Annex XI)
  • production management system certification (Production Quality Guarantee – Form D Annex XII).

Companies already structured according to the requirements of ISO 9001 can operate according to the forms H1, D and E of the Directive (Annexes XI and XII).

Certification Procedure:

  • the lift installation company presents its certification request to IBSC
  • depending on the forms chosen by the installer, the service might include a project evaluation and a conformity check of the lift according to the applicable technical standards
  • in order to certify the business management system for the purposes of a CE marking, a team comprising at least one lift technician will evaluate the procedures set up by the company and, via
  • random sampling, the compliance of the installed lifts.
