Residential Elevators Certified by TÜV SÜD/ISO
The Quality Standard for the Safety, Reliability, and Durability of a Residential Elevator
What Is a Residential Elevator Certified by TÜV SÜD/ISO?
A residential elevator that has been certified by TÜV SÜD and meets ISO quality standards is a residential elevator lift system that an independent party tests as meeting internationally accepted standards with respect to safety, quality, durability, and performance. TÜV SÜD is a global organisation that is typically done by certification bodies that have certified a large number of different types of products and have carried out rigorous product testing and auditing to demonstrate product performance to an independent third party. ISO is a global organisation and provides guidelines for the establishment of quality, safety, and manufacturing standards. If a residential elevator has been certified by TÜV SÜD and ISO, it is built according to the engineering and manufacturing practices that are accepted by the international community. Elite Elevators is an authorized distributor of residential elevators that have been certified by TÜV SÜD and ISO, allowing homeowners to rest assured that their elevator has been engineered for safety and reliability for their daily use.
Why Is Certification Important?
Unlike commercial elevators, which can be used by many different types of companies, residential elevators are used by families on a daily basis and frequently by seniors, children, and individuals with mobility challenges. Therefore, residential elevators must be made from materials capable of withstanding the rigorous daily use, with the aim of providing safety and durability. When you see that a residential elevator has received TÜV SÜD and ISO certification, you can be certain that an independent third party has reviewed and validated the manufacturer’s claims of the design and durability of the residential elevator. The certifications described below have several benefits:
- Certifications confirm that safety systems function appropriately in actual operating conditions.
- Both TÜV SÜD and ISO certifications confirm that the elevator’s components meet strict durability and load-bearing requirements.
- Manufacturers of certified products use consistently controlled quality manufacturing procedures.
- Both certifications assure long-term dependable service from the elevator design.
The Purpose of Certification
TÜV SÜD
The TÜV SÜD organisation tests criteria related to mechanical safety, electrical reliability, operation stability, and the functionality of emergency safety systems using independent testing.ISO Certification
ISO certification provides homeowners assurance that structured manufacturing processes and quality management system controls are utilised and maintained for environmental conditions that the elevators will be used under, such as temperature, operating cycles, and other related residential-use conditions.Verification of Major Elevator Components
The major components of an elevator, such as- the motor,
- the controller,
- the doors,
- the safety equipment, will be randomly tested and verified for strength, endurance, and reliability by an independent testing laboratory.
The Testing of Elevator Durability in the Field
The certification process evaluates the performance of elevators over a number of uses commonly found in the residential environment (daily usage at home), assuring performance under long-term, repeated use.
Certification Documentation Includes the Following Information
- Verification of compliance
- Traceability of parts and components used
- Responsibility for compliance for design, manufacture, and installation
The Safety Benefits of Elevator Certification
- Minimises risk due to electrical or mechanical failure
- Guarantees that emergency safety systems function correctly during abnormal operating conditions
- Eliminates premature wear caused by the use of poor-quality components
- Guarantees consistent elevator performance regardless of the installer’s location
- Improves elevator reliability over the long term while decreasing maintenance
What Type of Person Benefits Most from a TÜV SÜD and ISO Certified Elevator?
Family Members Using Wheelchairs (Disabled / Elderly)
Elevators with TÜV SÜD and ISO certification have many advantages for families who have elderly members or family members who are disabled and use wheelchairs, as safety features must function correctly for these types of elevator users.
For Homes With Small Children
