EM – Under Circular No. 13/2024/TT BLDTBXH, all elevator safety components must be tested domestically. However, with only one designated testing organization nationwide, many companies are concerned about capacity, costs, and market bottlenecks.
EM - The new regulation abolishing the recognition of elevator test results from abroad, which takes effect from 1st February, 2025, is putting businesses in a difficult position, as each elevator unit is expected to bear an additional testing cost of at least 63 million VND (2,419 USD, 1 USD = 26.037 VND). Furthermore, the test results are only valid for each shipment and cannot be applied on a mass scale or for a set duration.
TCTM— To help businesses accurately and justifiably price elevator maintenance services and to allow building operation managers to allocate budgets more effectively, the Vietnam Elevator Association (VNEA) has recently released a Cost Estimation Table for Elevator Maintenance. This table is based on TCCS 02:2024/VNEA regarding labour norms and Circular No. 11/2021/TT-BXD issued by the Ministry of Construction.
EM - In an effort to promote the development of vocational skills, honor the values, people, and beauty of elevator workers, the Vietnam Elevator Association has chosen July 16th of each year as the official anniversary of the elevator industry, called "Vietnam Lift Day.
According to statistics of the elevator industry, the quality of elevator is decided according to the ratio of 50:50, of which 50% comes from the quality of equipment and products, and the remaining 50% comes from maintenance.
From the above provisions from the legal corridor in the field of elevators, consumers and businesses need to know important information specifically related to the activities of individuals and organizations related to elevators.
