Why is document management important in elevators?
Because 85% of the existing elevators are missing prescribed documents!
Due to the operator’s obligations, not only company employers, but also the owners of residential buildings, such as real estate companies or private landlords, are responsible in the event of liability damage. Especially when there is a lack of in-house expertise, operators are more dependent than ever on reliable (!) and high-quality service companies.
Please keep in mind that you can also be liable to a delegation if, for example, he does not adequately control the company he has commissioned.

More facts
Elevators are costly maintenance objects. Owners / operators tend to assume that any serious maintenance service provider can service their elevators – regardless of the brand, type or technology used. As a result, owners are looking for the cheapest market price for maintenance.
The latest study results show that maintenance or operational control obligations are meticulously adhered to in only a quarter of cases. During the weekly operational control, lift attendants must trigger a control alarm and personally check that it is functioning reliably. The result of a long-term investigation has shown that only 32% of the systems undergo this safety-relevant inspection.
A random sample from a large public operator with a mixed portfolio showed that around 85% of the systems did not have manuals or circuit diagrams that should be available for the system. This causes wasted time, stress and costs. In the case of wiring diagrams for modernizations, this can lead to additional costs of several thousand euros.
The share of external maintenance is around 43% today, compared to 15% ten years ago. Due to the lack of documents and plans, maintenance service providers and safety auditors are not adequately equipped to properly maintain or check the systems.
