Regulations on the placing on the market of lifts and on the making available of new safety components
New lifts must only be placed on the market in the European Union and new safety components for lifts must only be made available on the market if they comply with the provisions of European regulations.
Rules relating to lifts are set out not only in the Lift Directive 2014/33/EU but also in the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Please check which directive applies to your specific product.
