In the dynamic world of lifting, safety and regulatory compliance are essential. The recent approval of Royal Decree 57/2005 and the new ITC for lifts have made clear the need to incorporate measures that guarantee the protection of users and optimise the operation of lifting systems.
What minimum measures must be implemented in existing elevators?
Royal Decree 57/2005 establishes several key guidelines to improve safety in elevators. These measures include:
-
Cabin Position Control :
- Requirement : Allow easy verification from the engine room to confirm whether the cabin is in an unlock zone.
-
Device for raising the cabin :
- Requirement : In the case of replacing a hydraulic system pump, the new equipment must include a manual pump to raise the cabin.
Deadlines for Incorporating Measures
These upgrades must be completed within one year of the first periodic inspection in which their absence is detected. This period provides the necessary time to plan and carry out the required upgrades, ensuring that all lifts comply with current regulations.
