”Sweden has Europe's oldest elevator fleet.
More than half of all elevators in Sweden are older than 30 years. The regulations for residential buildings lag behind, while workplaces have different safety requirements. An elevator in a residential building meets today's legal requirements if it was considered safe when it was put into use - even if it is 100 years old.
