Lift Maintenance Audit: Who Qualifies and What You Get

This scheme establishes the requirements for the regular inspection and upkeep of vertical transport systems to ensure they remain safe for public use.

👤Who it's for

This requirement applies to all building management corporations. If you are responsible for managing a building that utilizes elevators or other vertical transport systems, you fall under the scope of these audit and maintenance regulations.

🎁What you get

The primary benefit of this scheme is the safe operation of vertical transport systems. By adhering to these standards, management corporations can help prevent mechanical failures and ensure that the movement of people within a building remains reliable and secure.

💰What it costs you

There are two main financial and operational commitments involved in staying compliant. First, you must pay for mandatory monthly maintenance to ensure the equipment is regularly serviced. Second, you must account for the costs associated with the annual permit renewal process to ensure your systems remain legally permitted to operate.

⚠️The catch to know

The most important detail to remember is that not all service providers are eligible to perform this work. You must ensure that your lift contractors are officially registered with the Building and Construction Authority (BCA). Hiring an unregistered contractor will not meet the requirements of the audit.

📝How to apply

1. Confirm that your building management corporation is prepared to oversee the mandatory maintenance schedule.
2. Verify that your chosen lift contractor is properly registered with the Building and Construction Authority (BCA).
3. Schedule and complete the required monthly maintenance for all vertical transport systems.
4. Complete the process for your annual lift permit renewal to ensure continued compliance.
