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.
The Elevator Training Center of the Vietnam Elevator Association is the first nationwide model for training and certifying elevator technicians, established through the cooperation between the Vietnam Elevator Association and Korea Elevator College, the world’s only institution specializing in training elevator engineering.
EM – The school elevator, viewed through an emotional lens, exists as a part of life, a small space encapsulating both the hustle and bustle and the suffocating monotony. From the outside, it appears as a familiar metal box, but within lies a world of contrasts: a constant state of motion and sudden stops, freedom and confinement, humans and machines.
