EM – Faced with the cost and time burdens, and the risk of “congestion” due to the new regulation on elevator testing, businesses have unanimously put forth a series of practical proposals in hope government agencies will listen and solve the issues in a timely manner.
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.
