European Commission’s public consultation on the evaluation of the Lifts Directive
The Lifts Directive 2014/33/EU is being evaluated in 2024/25. This evaluation will assess whether the Directive is still fit for purpose according to those developing, producing, importing, distributing, installing, assessing for conformity, maintaining, modernising, repairing, recycling, owning, or using lifts and safety components for lifts, or supervising or coordinating such activities. Based on the conclusions of this evaluation, the Commission will decide whether the Directive needs to be revised to meet its objectives.
The corresponding 'Have Your Say' page informs about the public consultations and progress of this evaluation.
The online consultation for public opinions on lift safety is open until 13 February 2025 and is available in all official EU languages.
Short description of specific field
These products are governed by the 28/2016. (VIII.23.) NGM ministerial decree on safety requirements and certification of conformity for lifts. The 2014/33/EU Lift Directive is transposed to Hungarian law by this NGM decree.
Lifts provide an essential means of comfortable and safe access to modern buildings. The provision of lifts in new buildings and the installation of lifts in many existing buildings have an increasingly important role to play in an ageing society giving growing priority to the social integration of people with special needs.
The Lifts Directive 2014/33/EU has double aim of permitting free circulation of lifts and its safety components within the internal EU market and ensuring high level of safety for lift users and maintenance staff.
