Evaluation of elevators in Upper Austria
New legal requirements for passenger elevators without CE marking in Upper Austria.
6.5 billion people use one of over 100,000 elevators in Austria every year. More than half of these elevators are more than 20 years old. The safety standards of new elevators have been constantly improved over the years. However, old elevators still comply with the safety standards that were valid at the time they were built .
The Upper Austrian elevator ordinance amendment comes into force on 1.8.2025 (ATTENTION: elevator evaluation required!)
What does the Upper Austrian elevator ordinance amendment regulate?
With the Upper Austrian Lift Ordinance Amendment 2025, operators of elevators are obliged to have existing passenger elevators that were not placed on the market in accordance with the provisions of the Lift Safety Ordinance (ASV 1996; ASV 2008; ASV 2015) and do not bear the CE mark subjected to a safety inspection by a test center for elevators in accordance with § 18 Lift Operating Ordinance 2009.
What does the new Upper Austrian elevator ordinance amendment mean in concrete terms for elevator operators?
Older passenger elevators that were approved prior to or in 1999 do not comply with the current Lift Safety Ordinance. Operators must therefore arrange for a safety inspection (evaluation) by an approved inspection body for elevators in accordance with § 6a Para. 1 (Upper Austrian Lift Ordinance 2010).
Procedure description
The safety inspection and the measures to be taken must be carried outin accordance withthe requirements of §§ 20 to 22 HBV 2009.
