Как узнать учетный номер лифта

Управление Ростехнадзора информирует о необходимости организации системы диспетчерского контроля за работой лифтов или обеспечения присутствия лифтера на объекте для осуществления постоянного контроля за работой лифтов квалифицированным персоналом, а также разъясняет порядок приема (ввода в эксплуатацию) вновь смонтированного лифтового оборудования в новостройках и необходимость постановки на учет вводимых в эксплуатацию лифтов в государственном реестре.


I. Об организации системы диспетчерского контроля за работой лифтов.

«Правила организации безопасного использования и содержания лифтов, подъемных платформ для инвалидов, пассажирских конвейеров (движущихся пешеходных дорожек) и эскалаторов, за исключением эскалаторов в метрополитенах», утвержденные Постановлением Правительства РФ от 24.06.2017 № 743 (далее – Правила) вступили в силу с 30.08.2017. Настоящие Правила устанавливают требования к организации безопасного использования и содержания лифтов, подъемных платформ для инвалидов, пассажирских конвейеров (движущихся пешеходных дорожек) и эскалаторов, за исключением эскалаторов в метрополитенах (далее – объекты).

Согласно пункта 3 Правил:

«система диспетчерского (операторского) контроля» – система технических средств для дистанционного контроля за работой объекта и устройств безопасности объекта, а также для обеспечения двусторонней переговорной связи между объектом и диспетчерским (операторским) пунктом;

«квалифицированный персонал» – физические лица, соответствующие квалификационным требованиям для осуществления трудовой функции, необходимой при выполнении соответствующего вида (видов) работ по монтажу, демонтажу, эксплуатации, в том числе обслуживанию и ремонту, техническому освидетельствованию и обследованию объекта, в соответствии с положениями профессиональных стандартов, устанавливающих квалификационные характеристики для выполнения соответствующих видов работ, подтвердившие соответствие своей квалификации в порядке, предусмотренном Федеральным законом «О независимой оценке квалификации».

В соответствии с пунктом 20 Правил:

«20. Контроль за работой лифтов должен осуществляться в соответствии с сопроводительной документацией объекта и руководством (инструкцией) по эксплуатации систем диспетчерского (операторского) контроля (при наличии) по выбору владельца лифта посредством:

а) диспетчерского контроля;

б) постоянного контроля за работой лифта квалифицированным персоналом, находящимся на объекте, в соответствии с руководством (инструкцией) по эксплуатации объекта».

Пунктом 22 «Минимального перечня услуг и работ, необходимых для обеспечения надлежащего содержания общего имущества в многоквартирном доме», утвержденного постановлением Правительства РФ от 03.04.2013 № 290, установлено, что работы по организации системы диспетчерского контроля и обеспечению диспетчерской связи с кабиной лифта входят в состав работ, необходимых для надлежащего содержания оборудования и систем инженерно-технического обеспечения, входящих в состав общего имущества в многоквартирном доме:

обеспечение проведения аварийного обслуживания лифта (лифтов);

обеспечение проведения технического освидетельствования лифта (лифтов), в том числе после замены элементов оборудования».


II. О порядке приема (ввода в эксплуатацию) лифта.

Ввод лифта в эксплуатацию осуществляется на основании требований: Технического регламента Таможенного союза «Безопасность лифтов» (ТР ТС 011/2011) и Правил.

Технический регламент Таможенного союза «Безопасность лифтов» устанавливает следующее:

Перед вводом лифта в эксплуатацию должна быть проведена оценка соответствия смонтированного (модернизированного) на объекте лифта требованиям технического регламента в форме декларирования. Декларирование соответствия лифта осуществляется на основании собственных доказательств и доказательств, полученных с участием аккредитованной испытательной лаборатории (центра). В качестве собственных доказательств используется протокол проверки функционирования лифта, после окончания монтажа лифта, паспорт, монтажный чертеж смонтированного лифта и проектная документация на установку лифта. В качестве доказательств, полученных с участием аккредитованной испытательной лаборатории (центра) принимается Акт и Протокол полного технического освидетельствования, проведенного в соответствии с ГОСТ Р 53782-2010. Ввод лифта в эксплуатацию осуществляется в порядке, установленном Правилами.

Правила устанавливают 2 схемы ввода лифта в эксплуатацию:

1. Ввод лифта в эксплуатацию в составе объектов капитального строительства. Основанием для такой процедуры является получение разрешения на ввод объекта капитального строительства в эксплуатацию. Оформляется акт ввода в эксплуатацию в соответствии с Градостроительным кодексом РФ.

Далее владелец в 10-дневный срок направляет в Ростехнадзор уведомление о вводе объекта в эксплуатацию. Таким образом, осуществляется учет объектов в реестре уполномоченного органа, который в течение 5 рабочих дней со дня поступления уведомления направляет владельцу объекта информацию (письмо) с учетным номером объекта в соответствующем реестре.

Согласно п. 14 Правил, сведения о вводе в эксплуатацию и постановке на учет должны вносится в паспорт объекта.

2. Ввод лифта в эксплуатацию после монтажа в связи с заменой или модернизации осуществляется с обязательным участием представителя Ростехнадзора. Согласно Правилам, порядок действий следующий:

Владелец лифта направляет в уполномоченный орган уведомление о вводе лифта в эксплуатацию с указанием:

  • реквизитов декларации о соответствии лифта требованиям ТР ТС «Безопасность лифтов»;
  • реквизитов полиса на обязательное страхование опасного объекта.

К уведомлению прилагаются копии договоров (если они заключены) со специализированными организациями о выполнении работ по монтажу (демонтажу).

Представитель Ростехнадзора в течение 10 рабочих дней со дня получения уведомления осуществляет контрольный осмотр лифта. По результатам осмотра оформляется акт в 2 экземплярах, один из которых передается владельцу лифта.

В течение 5 рабочих дней со дня проведения контрольного осмотра решение о вводе лифта в эксплуатацию оформляется Актом ввода в эксплуатацию в 2 экземплярах. Один экземпляр документа передается уполномоченному представителю владельца лифта.

На основании акта ввода в эксплуатацию лифт ставится на учет в государственном реестре уполномоченного органа, который в течение 5 рабочих дней направляет владельцу лифта письмо с указанием учетного номера.

Сведения о вводе в эксплуатацию и постановке на учет владелец лифта должен внести в паспорт объекта.

Формы уведомления о вводе объекта в эксплуатацию (смене владельца лифта, выводе объекта из эксплуатации), акта контрольного осмотра объекта и акта ввода объекта в эксплуатацию утверждены приказом Ростехнадзора от 14.08.2017 № 309 «Об утверждении форм документов, необходимых для реализации пунктов 13, 15, 23 Правил организации безопасного использования и содержания лифтов, подъемных платформ для инвалидов, пассажирских конвейеров (движущихся пешеходных дорожек) и эскалаторов, за исключением эскалаторов в метрополитенах, утвержденных постановлением Правительства РФ от 24.06.2017 № 743» (действует с 19.12.2017).

Serial number stated on an manufacturer emblem and inspection certificate in Sweden.

A lot of elevators around the world can be identified based on their serial numbers. In this guide, you can find out where to find the serial numbers and how to identify the elevator based on the serial number alone. This can be useful if you stumble across an completely modernized elevator beyond recognition of the original manufacturer. Also included in this guide is the year of manufacturing, and how to find that. Most of elevator manufacturer’s serial numbers are stated in chronological order, and that will make it easier to figure out its built/manufactured year if you list all the serial numbers of a certain elevator brand.

Elevator-specific way to find serial numbers and built year

Here is a list of elevator brands and models, how an serial number of a certain brand are arranged and where to find the serial numbers and built year within the cab, machine room and elevator shaft.

Asea-Graham

Main article: Asea-Graham

On elevators made by ASEA-Graham in Sweden, there are usually no spots were you can find any serial numbers or built year at all within the cab. You have to rely on the inspection cerificate and if the elevator have swing doors, there might be a built year stated in there.

But if you visit the machine room, however, there will be a plate on the main control cabinet’s short side showing both built year and serial number (stated as Reference number here)

ASEA-Graham list their numbers in two ways; either 8-number digit with a dot in the middle (XXXX.XXXX), or a 7-number digit starting with letter L (L-XXX.XXXX). The latter serial numbers were even used by KONE in the early 1970s in Sweden as well as KONE Asea-Graham between 1972 and 1974.

AG-Machineroom

Example 1: Serial number and built year stated on the plate found on the main control cabinet’s short side inside the machine room.

ASEA-MC

An older ASEA sticker before the merge. The serial number isn’t that much different.

Kone

Main article: Kone

On Kone elevators, there are numerous ways to identify the serial numbers and built years. Most of the examples shown here are from Finland and Sweden.

KONE list their serial numbers before 2001 with the letter H followed by an number. This also applies on Kone marine elevators in cruise ships and cruise ferries built under the MacGregor brand (these marine elevators often have the words «Manufactured By KONE» listed on the bottom of the panel). After 2001, they used 8-number digits instead.

Note that in Australia, the number listed on the indicator is often known as the Equipment Number. If Kone are or were previously contracted to maintain a non-Kone elevator, the same eight-digit serial number format used for MonoSpace and related Kone models will be assigned to that lift (see below section).

Pre 1960s

Serial numbers and built years will be found on an plate with their logotype with it.

KONE4

Example 1: KONE logo with an built year of 1928 and serial number 1042 or H 1042.

KONE3

Example 2: A similar plate with a built year of 1956 and serial number H 6412. They are usually found in the back or side of the cab, near the roof.

1961-1984

Serial numbers and built years are shown on the button panels themselves. This applies to Swedish elevators between 1961 and 1971 and in Finland up until 1984.

KONE1

Example 1: This elevator is from 1961 and have the serial H 1358

HISS (230)

KONE Square buttons in an horizontal arrangement. Typical in Sweden. The built year on these are found in the left corner and serial on the right.

Novel Elements

Kone Novel Elements re-introduced the inclusion of serial numbers and built years on the panels. They can be found below the floor indicators from now on.

KONENovel

KONE Novel Elements panel with capacity being shown first, followed by serial numbers and built year.

Modernized elevators

Elevators in Finland modernized by Kone usually stated both the built year, modernization year and the original serial number in the same ways as above. This was used far beyond 1984 as it was used on KONE M-buttons and Evergreen panels on modernized elevators.

KONEyear

Example 1: Elevator modernized with KONE Evergreen fixtures with a built year of 1929 and Modernization year of 2003. Serial numbers were not present here.

KONE mod

Example 2: KONE M Buttonpanel with an stated built year, Modernization year and serial number. H2102 identifies it as KONE from 1927, Modernized by KONE in 1988.

Kone Delta indicator with install-mod years

Example 3: EPL elevator modernised by Kone in 2002. The elevator’s equipment number, original install year and modification (modernisation) year are listed.

Kone MonoSpace, MiniSpace and other models

On most post-2000s Kone elevator models such as MonoSpace, MiniSpace, TranSys, MaxiSpace and NanoSpace, the install year is listed on the indicator or a plate beneath it. The number of digits in the serial number was expanded from six to eight digits in around 2004.

KONE4 (2)

Example 1: KONE KSD Panel were the serial number and built year can be found below the capacity sign. THe serial number is the 8-digit one at the right.

Kone KDS 300 indicator at Indooroopilly Shopping Centre

Kone KDS 300 indicator. The serial number and install year are on the bottom of the indicator, to the left and right respectively.

Other examples

In Sweden, at transit locations such as railway stations, Kone have made a custom design using Dewhurst fixtures. Since 2014, the built year and serial numbers are present on the panel itself.

KONE-SL

Example 1: A KONE Ecodisc elevator using Dewhurst fixtures and included the SL logotypw here. In the middle, the built year and serial numbers can be found at the bottom. Also included is an internal number SL uses for their elevators.

Otis/Otis Electric/Sigma

Main article: Otis

Almost any Otis elevators in Europe states both the serial number and year of installation on the car operating panels. Serial number format varies on different elevator models.

Note that this also applies on European Otis elevator models installed in regions other than Europe (or Asian Otis elevator models manufactured by Otis Electric).

Otis Europa 2000

On Otis Europa 2000 elevators, both the serial number and build year can be found under the intercom speaker. The serial number usually starts with number «73» followed by two letters (usually «NK», but some others may use different letters) and four digit numbers (example «73 XX 0000» or «73 NK 0000»).

OTIS Series 1 Europa2000 car indicator

Otis 2000 and European GeN2

On Otis 2000 and European Gen2 elevators, both the serial number and build year are listed along with the capacity just under the floor indicator. These elevators use 8 digit serial number, usually starts with two digit numbers (which represent a country code (and the company of installation), for example, 31 for Otis Australia, and 51 for Otis Elevator Co. (HK) Ltd.) followed by two letter and then four digit numbers (example: «00XX0000»), although some other elevators may have either of the following different formats:

  • The first two digit consist of a letter and a number, followed by three digit letters and three digit numbers at the end (example: «X0XXX000»)
  • Same as above, but the first two digit only consist of numbers (example: «00XXX000»)
  • The first two digit consist of numbers, followed by three digit letters and three digit numbers at the end (example: «00XXX000»)

Otis Gen2 LCD Indicator

The Otis Gen2 with 2000 fixtures, indicate its serial number (51NE8432) and the year of manufactures (2002), which installed in Hong Kong.

OTIS2000VF indicator

The Otis 2000 VF with 2000 fixtures, indicate its serial number (C3NE1001) and the year of manufactures (1998), which installed in Indonesia.

For Otis GeN2 elevators with large LCD displays in Spain, both the serial number and build year are listed on the display, usually near the bottom left corner of the screen.

Most Australian Otis Gen2s maintained by Otis display their serial number as the Machine Number. There are known examples of Kone maintaining Gen2s and using it as their registration number for maintenance.

Other examples

Certain older European Otis elevator models have slightly different serial number format. For example, there are some older Otis elevators with serial numbers that starts with two digit numbers followed by three letters and then a three digit numbers (example «00 XXX 000»).

On the Otis XO21NP and XO-508 escalators, the nameplate is located on the lowest landing beside the handrail and it clearly shown the manufacture date and its serial number. However, the another serial number can be assigned by the local Otis office.

On the Otis Gen2-Regen elevators, the nameplate is located on the controller and it clearly shown the manufacture date and its serial number. However, the another serial number can be assigned by the local Otis office.

Country/Inspection-specific way to find serial numbers & built years

Here is a guide of how to read and figuring out serial numbers and built years from an inspection certificate. Some countries have them visible inside the cab of the elevator where an inspection certificate will show an valid inspection, when it expires, and depending of country and inspection company/authority, it will show additional information, such as manufacturer, serial numbers, built years, address, internal building info, capacity, etc. (may vary from country to country and company/authority that issued the certificate).

Australia

Some maintenance companies may place an elevator’s registration number, contract number and install year on the maintenance sticker. However, this is inconsistent, even across a single company.

For modernized elevators, Schindler sometimes place the modernisation year on the sticker. This is done on the Toowong Tower elevators.

Otis Gen2 serial as Kone reg num

Kone maintenance sign displaying the serial number of an Otis Gen2 (see above).

Sweden

In Sweden, inspection duties are carried out by inspecting companies. Companies that issue inspection certificates as of today are Dekra, Kiwa, Hissbesiktningar i Sverige AB (HSAB) and among others. The most common things present on these stickers are:

  • Type of object
  • Registry number (internal for the inspection company), Serial number (Internal for the elevator manufacturer)
  • Location
  • Identifier to separate this elevator apart from others in the same location (internal for the landlord)
  • Capacity
  • Expiration date of a valid inspection

The certificate is required to be present inside the elevator car and inspections are carried out yearly, as well as after some major alterations has been done (such as modernization). An inspection that has been done after an installation of new elevator or a major modernization done on an older elevator is valid in two years instead of one and it is the landlord’s responsibility to make sure the elevator is safe and have a valid certificate.

Dekra

Dekra have a rectangular green certificate. It used an white grayish squared design in the past. It was formelly known as ÅF-Kontroll.

Dekra2-KONE

Example 1: The new green certificate, showing as follows from top to bottom: Object, Inspection company’s own Registry number, The serial number, Location, Landlord’s internal number, capacity per KG and persons, as well as valid inspection’s expire date. The serial number is an 8-digit one that KONE uses, Location says «Gullmarsplan» and the place no. reveals that this is a property of Stockholm’s public transport Authority (SL)

Dekra1-Schindler

Example 2: Older squared Dekra certificate. It is arranged in the same way as the green one. The serial number can be found in the upper left. It uses an 8-digit number belonging to Schindler.

ÅF-Kontroll

Example 3: DEKRA used to called ÅF-Kontroll in the past, this is an older sticker found inside an Graham Brothers elevator in Stockholm Town Hall.

Dekra1-SAKNAS

Example 4: A DEKRA Sticker that is missing an serial number and capacity per KG. It only reveals that this is an Personal elevator for 3 people located at Linnégatan 52, Stockholm.

Kiwa Inspecta

Kiwa Inspecta (known as KIWA nowadays, and Inspecta in the past) have a rectangular white sticker with their logo at the top and a blue or red contact information field at the bottom. The arrangement is similar to Dekra. Both Dekra and Kiwa Inspecta uses registry numbers starting with letter L.

Kiwa (2)

Example 1: from top to bottom: Object, Registry number, Serial number, Location, identifier and capacity per Kg. Note that Kiwa doesn’t use capacity per persons. Also showing an expirety date for valid inspection. The serial number doesn’t says much, but most inspection companies opts-out any letters or tokens on serial numbers. A trained eye can guess that this might be an KONE elevator having H008300-

Inspecta3-KONE

Example 2: Older Inspecta sticker with red bottom. The serial is 5-numbered, found inside a KONE elevator. It should be H 84857

Inspecta2

Example 3: Inspecta sticker with a blue bottom. Note that capacity per Kg is gone, but capacity per persons is present instead.

Inspecta1-SAKNAS

Example 4. Inspecta covers up an older SAQ-Kontroll sticker. The arrangement is same here but the serial number is vacant as well as capacity per KG. At the bottom, there is an field stationg how often and wich month an inspection should carry out, as well as a phone number to the inspecton company.

Inspecta2-SAKNAS

Inspecta sticker with the word «SAKNAS» stated over teh serial number. telling that serial number is not present.

Kiwa-SAKNAS

A new KIWA sticker also stating SAKNAS over the serial number.

Inspecta1-DEVE

Another example of Inspecta covering up older branding of an sticker. the K-number in the serial numbers field reveals this is a DEVE elevator.

Hissbesiktningar i Sverige AB

HSAB have a yellow blue sticker. The major difference here is that the rows are arranged from up to down. HSAB’s registry number is used in bold text and doesn’t begin with an L. it is arranged from top to bottom; Object, Registry number, Serial number, Location, Separate identifier, Capacity per kg & per persons. It also uses a rounded sticker for yearly inspection.

HSAB-OTIS

Example: The serial numbers is in the 3rd row. the nubmer arrangement is typical among OTIS elevators.

HSAB-Blank

A blank sticker. Only the registry number and landlord’s unigue identifier has been written here by hand.

Unusual spots

Elevator technicians can write the serial numbers on unusual spots, so there are key locations to look after them for. This happens usually on places were several elevators installs in the same time and parts needs to be separate.

For the assembly of the escalators, the manufacturing plant usually painted the serial numbers on the escalator truss[1].

DEVE written

Serial number written on the roof on a DEVE elevator with automatic door. Clearly visible when the doors are open.

Cylinder

KONE serial number written below on an hydraulic piston in the shaft. It is a bit hidden tough.

KONE-Cylinder

A KONE Piston made in 1978, with a matching serial number.

Certain older European Otis elevator models have slightly different serial number format. For example, there are some older Otis elevators with serial numbers that starts with two digit numbers followed by three letters and then a three digit numbers (example «00 XXX 000»).

On the Otis XO21NP and XO-508 escalators, the nameplate is located on the lowest landing beside the handrail and it clearly shown the manufacture date and its serial number. However, the another serial number can be assigned by the local Otis office.

On the Otis Gen2-Regen elevators, the nameplate is located on the controller and it clearly shown the manufacture date and its serial number. However, the another serial number can be assigned by the local Otis office.

Country/Inspection-specific way to find serial numbers & built years

Here is a guide of how to read and figuring out serial numbers and built years from an inspection certificate. Some countries have them visible inside the cab of the elevator where an inspection certificate will show an valid inspection, when it expires, and depending of country and inspection company/authority, it will show additional information, such as manufacturer, serial numbers, built years, address, internal building info, capacity, etc. (may vary from country to country and company/authority that issued the certificate).

Australia

Some maintenance companies may place an elevator’s registration number, contract number and install year on the maintenance sticker. However, this is inconsistent, even across a single company.

For modernized elevators, Schindler sometimes place the modernisation year on the sticker. This is done on the Toowong Tower elevators.

Sweden

In Sweden, inspection duties are carried out by inspecting companies. Companies that issue inspection certificates as of today are Dekra, Kiwa, Hissbesiktningar i Sverige AB (HSAB) and among others. The most common things present on these stickers are:

  • Type of object
  • Registry number (internal for the inspection company), Serial number (Internal for the elevator manufacturer)
  • Location
  • Identifier to separate this elevator apart from others in the same location (internal for the landlord)
  • Capacity
  • Expiration date of a valid inspection

The certificate is required to be present inside the elevator car and inspections are carried out yearly, as well as after some major alterations has been done (such as modernization). An inspection that has been done after an installation of new elevator or a major modernization done on an older elevator is valid in two years instead of one and it is the landlord’s responsibility to make sure the elevator is safe and have a valid certificate.

Dekra

Dekra have a rectangular green certificate. It used an white grayish squared design in the past. It was formelly known as ÅF-Kontroll.

Dekra2-KONE

Example 1: The new green certificate, showing as follows from top to bottom: Object, Inspection company’s own Registry number, The serial number, Location, Landlord’s internal number, capacity per KG and persons, as well as valid inspection’s expire date. The serial number is an 8-digit one that KONE uses, Location says «Gullmarsplan» and the place no. reveals that this is a property of Stockholm’s public transport Authority (SL)

Kiwa Inspecta

Kiwa Inspecta (known as KIWA nowadays, and Inspecta in the past) have a rectangular white sticker with their logo at the top and a blue or red contact information field at the bottom. The arrangement is similar to Dekra. Both Dekra and Kiwa Inspecta uses registry numbers starting with letter L.

Also showing an expirety date for valid inspection. The serial number doesn’t says much, but most inspection companies opts-out any letters or tokens on serial numbers. A trained eye can guess that this might be an KONE elevator having H008300-

Inspecta3-KONE

Example 2: Older Inspecta sticker with red bottom. The serial is 5-numbered, found inside a KONE elevator. It should be H 84857

Unusual spots

Elevator technicians can write the serial numbers on unusual spots, so there are key locations to look after them for. This happens usually on places were several elevators installs in the same time and parts needs to be separate.

For the assembly of the escalators, the manufacturing plant usually painted the serial numbers on the escalator truss[1].
