Elevator and Lift Communications

One of the latest developments in the industry is the requirement for new safety standards in regards to the implementation of robust two-way communications in all elevators and lifts.  Many of the elevator manufacturing companies are struggling to meet the global safety standards for these new rules in each region of the planet.

► 2019 ASME A17.1 CSA B44:19 code – the design, construction, installation, operation, inspection,
     testing, maintenance, alteration, and repair of elevators, escalators and related conveyances in
     North America.
► ISO/TR 8100-24:2016(en) Safety requirements for lifts (elevators).
► European BS EN 81-20:2020 & EN-51 codes – design, construction, installation, operation,
     inspection, testing, maintenance, alteration, and repair of elevators, escalators and related
     conveyances in Europe

We understand the challenges Elevator Manufacturing companies face in meeting these new requirements, including:

• The new design, construction, installation, operation, inspection, testing, maintenance, alteration, and repair of elevators, escalators and related conveyances.
• Ensuring that these solutions are cost-effective, as they can be a significant additional expense for both existing deployments and new ones going forward.
