It would be very hard to imagine architecture as we know today without elevators. Elevators have enormous importance to provide smooth, safe and worry-free ride for everyone. They are used in almost every building and their quality should be unquestionable, but due to their potential danger there are many regulations and responsibilities concerning the quality. It is all just to make sure that there are minimum risks of potential breaking and causing any danger to people or environment. Safety has been one of the most important concerns since the early era of elevators until now, so there are many buildings just for testing commercial elevator manufacturers’ innovations and safety. There are many safety codes, but 8 of them are the most important. And with progress of computer technology elevators will be even safer with that influence.
The Manufacturing Process
Elevator car are built with usage of metal cutting, shaping and welding techniques, so the most of this work is done in a factory, and interior of a car is installed after the building is finished because of a weather conditions which can be harmful to it. Elevator shaft is made of concrete like building itself and it is rising with building, after that job is done, elevator and cables are installing and at the very end electronics has been programmed. That means that elevator is ready to go.
Quality Control
In some of the countries there is strict control which is usually formed by mechanical engineers. Their job is to set up standards, monitor progress and to control quality of elevators, but in some countries that are not as wealthy quality control is not at high level, and they are not regulated by laws which can cause serious problems and damage. It is not a rare case that the company that made the elevator does not exist anymore, and does not have a successor. This is a field that is solved case by case, but luckily most of the countries have good safety policies.
Future of Regulations
Elevators haven’t quite changed for many years, and it doesn’t look like that will change in a future. Lasers are used much more and computer science helps fixing many problems. As far as the technology develops and becomes commercially affordable, it will make elevators safer and easier to fix and maintain. But, if it comes to regulations and contracts for safe manufacture and scheduled maintenance is mostly dependable on country laws and local types of connection between commercial and public sector. If it is not easy to contact the company that made or is responsible for fixing and maintaining elevators, that can become an obstacle for building owners and residents. Therefore, the future of regulatory system would have to improve the access to manufacturing companies, make a fair agreement and terms of conditions in which the safety regulations work why they are there in the first place – to make living easier and to gain trust between companies and commercial use.
