Elevator inspection, also known as elevator safety technical inspection, is the process of checking and evaluating the technical condition of equipment based on current standards and regulations to ensure safety during use. use.
In the field of elevator safety inspection, people divide elevators into the following categories:
- Electric elevator inspection
- Hydraulic elevator
- Cargo elevator inspection
- Electric elevator without machine room
Why inspect the elevator?
Elevator inspection to ensure safety during operation. Besides ensuring the safety of workers, safety inspection also has the following benefits:

Why is it important to inspect the elevator periodically?
According to the circular 53 /2016/ TT-BLDTBXH On December 28, 2016 of the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs, elevators were included in the list of "list of equipment, machinery and supplies with strict requirements on occupational safety", because Therefore, the inspection of elevators is necessary and mandatory to comply with the provisions of the promulgated law. Here's why you should have your elevator checked periodically.
- Elevators are an indispensable means in high-rise buildings and must operate regularly, so when an incident occurs, it will be very serious.
- Elevators are used to transport goods and people, so making sure the elevator is always in the best condition is extremely necessary.
- Many serious accidents have occurred during the operation and use of elevators in Vietnam and around the world, so the elevator inspection should be carried out periodically.
- Periodically inspect the elevator so that we can check, advise and suggest to you problems and failures that may occur in the future and recommend customers to repair and replace when necessary.
From the factors that have the potential to cause serious consequences for human life when something goes wrong with the elevator, you should carry out a thorough elevator inspection for quality, operability, Ensure the elevator is always in the best working condition.
When should you conduct an elevator inspection?
According to current regulations, when using elevators, it is necessary to perform 3 forms of inspection as follows:
- First time elevator inspection: it is mandatory to carry out an elevator inspection when the installation is completed, to ensure that the elevator meets the best conditions, and it is safe to go into operation and use according to the regulations. to be promulgated.
- Periodic inspection of elevators: according to regulations, elevators need to go through the inspection process after the first inspection, periodically inspect the elevator. In this case, if the elevator has some damaged or unsafe equipment, it needs to be replaced or repaired to meet the requirements to be allowed to use.
- Abnormal inspection: this work will be done if in the process of using some technical problems occur, causing unsafe conditions, not being eligible to continue operating, replacing and repairing. major repair without expiry of the inspection period. The inspection unit will assess the situation and propose a remedial plan in the shortest time according to the prescribed standards.
Is there a penalty for not inspecting the elevator?
- The level of distribution is from 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 in case individuals or organizations use the elevator without reporting to the competent authority on the inspection of machinery, materials and equipment with strict requirements. strict about occupational safety.
- A fine of from 3,000,000 to 5,000,000 if the elevator is put into use but fails to declare or arbitrarily put into use.
- A fine ranging from 50,000,000 to 70,000,000 in case of deliberately putting the elevator into use when the inspection results are unsatisfactory.
- If you are not sure about the regulations on penalties for schools that commit violations when using the elevator, please refer to Decree No. 95/2013ND-CP Issued on August 22, 2013.
Conditions for elevator inspection:
It is necessary to ensure the following 4 conditions before conducting elevator inspection:
- It is necessary to ensure that the elevator is in a state of readiness for inspection.
- Prepare full technical documents before inspecting the elevator.
- Weather and environmental factors must be most favorable so as not to affect the test results.
The process of determining the elevator according to the latest standards today:
QTKD21/2016/BLDTBXH, QTKD22/2016/BLDTBXH, QTKD23/2016/BLDTBXH, QTKD24/2016/BLDTBXH, QTKD25/2016/BLDTBXH
The inspection unit will carry out the inspection process according to the following steps:
- Conduct background checks and use records of elevators, escalators, and human conveyors
- External technical inspection.
- Test in case of no load.
- Test lifts under load with different methods.
- Handling inspection results of elevators, escalators, and human conveyors
Only carry out the elevator inspection for the next time if the previous inspection results are satisfactory as prescribed and the information has been fully saved.
The elevator safety inspection process can be done in the following sequence of steps
Step 1: Check the technical file
The following records should be reviewed by the auditor:
- Manufacturing profile, elevator history. Structural drawings and working principle drawings
- Documentation of installation and completion.
- Minutes and results of the previous inspection
- Records of replacement and repair. Operation and maintenance log
- Operation and Troubleshooting Manual
Step 2: Technical check
- Review completeness and synchronization of details, sets with manufacturing records
- Check for defects, deformation of cabin details and parts, like ladders, pits, pulley doors, cables, counterweights ...)
- Hydraulic system test (for hydraulic lifts)
- Measure ground resistance
Step 3: Experiment
The testing process is only performed when the above test steps have satisfactory results.
- No-load test: Operate the elevator in idle mode to check the operation of components
- Test with load modes in the order of 100% rated load and 125% rated load.
Assess the operating status of the lift mechanisms during testing.
Step 3: Process the results of elevator inspection
- Make an elevator inspection report according to the prescribed form
- Make minutes of recommendations and corrections (if any)
- Stamp the inspection, approve the inspection record and issue the inspection results if the inspection process meets the requirements.
Time limit for elevator inspection
Depending on the time of use of the elevator, there are different periodic inspection periods:
Elevator inspection time
- First safety inspection after installation before putting into use
- Periodic inspection during use
- Abnormal inspection mode when there is change or repair. When there are unusual requests of authorities or users.
- Quality inspection when flooded, exported
Periodic inspection period
- Elevators with a service life of less than 10 years: Periodic inspection is 3 years.
- For elevators with more than 10 years of use: Period of periodic inspection is 2 years
- For elevators with more than 20 years of use: Periodic inspection is 1 year
Time limit for elevator inspection:
- Elevators must be inspected every 3 years. For elevators that have been used for more than 20 years, inspection must be carried out once a year according to regulations. If the owner or the elevator manufacturing company requires regular inspection of the elevator, it must be reported to the competent authority, clearly stating the reason.
