Technical rules for elevators

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The technical rules for elevators (TRA) were operating regulations for elevator systems in Germany until 2011. They were drawn up and published by the German Elevator Committee (DAA) and reflected the state of the art. In the Joint Ministerial Gazette of March 2, 2011 (GMBl. No. 8, p. 161) the repeal of all technical rules for lifts (TRA) was announced without replacement. With the European harmonization, a national set of rules became superfluous.

Regulations in Germany

Elevators are systems that require monitoring within the meaning of the Industrial Safety Ordinance and are therefore subject to certain tests (testing before commissioning and recurring testing at certain periods) by approved monitoring bodies .

Historical

In 1906, the City of Vienna passed the first elevator law in Europe. Since then, lift systems have been tested by TÜV Austria as Europe's first test center for the safety of lifts.
