Elevator - appointment of elevator inspectors (application)

Persons who wish to work as lift inspectors for non-commercially used lifts in Lower Austria must be appointed as lift inspectors by the Landesregierung. They must submit an appropriate application (Antrag) and provide evidence of relevant qualifications. Based on the appointment, the lift inspector is entered in a list of lift inspectors kept by the Landesregierung and open to public inspection.

The appointment as a lift inspector is only made if a corresponding application (Antrag) is made and the following qualification is proven:

• qualification of an engineering consultant or civil engineer for electrical or mechanical engineering and at least one year of practical experience in elevator construction or
• certificate of the second diploma examination in electrical or mechanical engineering and at least two years of practical experience in elevator construction or
• certificate of successful attendance at a higher technical college, specialising in electrical or mechanical engineering or a special form of these colleges and at least three years of practical experience in elevator construction.

Generally, proof of practical use in elevator construction must include activities in the following areas:

• design and dimensioning of mechanical and electro technical plant components,
• editing of circuit diagrams (control, drive and regulation areas, safety circuits and the like) and
• Installation of lifts in the mechanical and electro technical area.

However, it may also be provided by other means if the proven activities are equivalent, in particular through certificates of qualified activities in the field of lift testing under the supervision of a lift inspector.
