Response to the consultation on "The Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's proposal for regulations on motor-driven devices" (Diary number 201/2024)

The consultation response summarizes the Swedish Elevator Association's position regarding the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's proposal for regulations on requirements for the use of motor-driven devices.

The paragraphs where the Swedish Elevator Association would like clarification are:

Chapter 1. General provisions
Inspection of motor-driven devices, 10§

This paragraph uses the term ”otherwise responsible party” for the first time. The Swedish Lift Association would like to clarify who ”otherwise responsible party” could be.

Audit inspection, Section 18

The Swedish Elevator Association wishes that point 4 in the list of measures that should generate an audit inspection be supplemented with a clarification that a safety component constitutes an essential part.

Modifications to motor-driven devices, Section 24

The Swedish Elevator Association would like to clarify that it is the current requirements that are referred to.
