Most families purchasing a home elevator look at price, appearance, and the ease of installation, but one piece is often overlooked—certification.

A home elevator is responsible for safely transporting your family members and guests on a daily basis (children, seniors). If your lift is not a certified lift according to international standards, then you don’t have any real knowledge that the lift has been tested for safety, durability, or quality. International certifications provide evidence that every aspect of the lift, from braking mechanisms to cabin materials, has been designed to the highest standards.

A true concern in India is knowing that not every elevator company can actually offer elevators with these standards. For this reason, it is critical to work with a manufacturer that specifically designs lifts that are certified to international standards.

What Do Global Standards Mean for the Elevator Industry?

Global standards are more than simply labels; they represent significant testing and formal standards that ensure user safety and product quality.

Home lifts are produced to meet several important global standards, including:

  • EN 81-41 — A European standard certified specifically for platform lifts and home elevators, which ensures safe and accessible residential use.
  • EN 81-20 — Covers guidelines and safety of passenger lifts, which include dimensions for cabin sizes and flammability (fire safety) of materials used in construction of lifts.
  • EN 81-50 — Details the rigorous testing of braking systems, lift ropes, pulleys, etc. to ensure long-term safety and reliability for lift manufacturers globally.

Together, these certifications provide peace of mind to families that their elevator is as exquisite as it is safe, durable, and accepted worldwide.

  • Does the model provide emergency rescue and battery backup systems?
  • Comfort – does this lift provide a quiet and smooth ride?
