Information, Awareness & Partnership
Lifts/escalators/walkways are an important part of the infrastructure and the annual inspections make lifts one of the safest means of transport.
In Austria, around 6.5 billion people use one of the 90,000 lifts tested by TรV AUSTRIA every year.
6.5 billion times a year, one of around 90,000 TรV AUSTRIA-tested lifts is used in Austria. We stand for safety, quality and responsibility.
The lift manufacturers take care of the maintenance and servicing of their systems by means of maintenance contracts. We subject the lifts to a “stress test”. This means that we check whether the machines also function in accordance with the test basis, i.e. in accordance with the respective operating regulations.
As the operator, you bear the liability for the safety of your passengers. We minimise your liability risk.
