The Elevator Regulations (95 / 16 / AT) published by the Ministry of Industry and Trade have been removed to determine the basic health and safety requirements that people, cargoes or both of the elevators used for the transportation of cargo and their safety features must have before they are put on the market.

This Regulation has been prepared based on the Law No. 4703 on the Preparation and Implementation of Technical Legislation on Products. It also complies with the European Union's directive 95 / 16 / EC.

According to the Elevator Regulations, companies installing elevator, design, manufacturing and assembling for elevators CE document they must take. The CE certificate shows that the manufacturer takes into account the health, safety and environmental regulations of the European Union during its production activities. Manufacturers that fulfill these requirements set the CE marking themselves.

Another legal regulation on elevators is the Elevator Maintenance and Operation Regulation published by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. During the use of elevators used for the transport of people and cargoes, the environment must be used in a way that does not threaten the health and safety of people and living things. In order to achieve this, this regulation has been adopted to determine the rules to be followed for the operation, maintenance, annual inspection of elevators, supervision of maintenance and service, warranty and after-sales services. In accordance with the provisions of this regulation, monthly maintenance service for elevators should be taken.

Maintenance and service must be performed by the services having Turkish Standards Institute Service Qualification Certificate. The Turkish Standards Institute provides Service Location Qualification Certificate within the scope of TS 12255 Authorized Services - Elevators - Rules standard. This standard covers the operating characteristics, structural features, technical equipment, specifications and certification of the elevator service centers.

Elevator companies are required to comply with two other standards besides TS 12255 standard:

  • TS 12361 Authorized Services - General Rules
  • TS EN 13015 + A1 Maintenance of lifts and escalators - Rules for maintenance instructions

Elevator Companies they must implement these three standards. There are two ways for elevator companies to obtain TSE Service Location Qualification Certificate. Either take CE Certificate from any of the elevator regulation conformity assessment procedures, or make a service contract in the presence of a Notary Public with a CE Certified elevator firm. However, TSE conducts an authorized service contract with a CE certified company and TSE Service Qualification Certificate An elevator company in the area can only provide maintenance service.

Elevator maintenance, failures, revision or installation work to obtain the TSE Certificate must receive a CE certificate first. CE certificates are given at the beginning of the documents requested by the municipalities.

The TÜRCERT certification body also provides technical services such as various inspection and test work. Within this scope, experienced managers and employees of TÜRCERT certification body are always with you in order to have more information about the standards to be applied by elevator companies or to obtain TSE HYB Certificate or CE Certificate.
