Elevator Training Services β Frequently Asked Questions
Is formal elevator technician training legally required?
Yes, in most markets. In Turkey, the Machinery Safety Regulation (Makine Emniyeti YΓΆnetmeliΔi) and workplace safety legislation require documented competence for personnel working on lifting equipment. In the EU, the Machinery Directive (now Machinery Regulation 2023/1230) and Lifts Directive 2014/33/EU, combined with TS EN 13015, create an obligation for certified maintenance personnel. Training completion certificates and refresher records must be retained and produced on request during regulatory inspections.
What training is required for maintenance engineers under TS EN 13015?
TS EN 13015 (Maintenance for lifts and escalators) requires that maintenance be carried out by competent, trained personnel. Competence is typically demonstrated by: completion of a recognised elevator technician programme, product-specific training from the OEM or an authorised training centre, regular refresher training aligned with standard revisions (EN 81-20:2014 and its amendments, for example), and documented on-the-job assessment. Training records must be maintained for the duration of the maintenance contract.
Are there specific training requirements for working on hydraulic elevator systems?
Yes. Hydraulic elevator systems present specific hazards including high-pressure fluid injection injuries, fire risk from hydraulic oil, and cylinder-collapse risk during maintenance. Technicians should receive hydraulic-specific modules covering pressure isolation procedures, hose and fitting inspection criteria (ISO 4406 cleanliness), safe jack-and-block procedures, and emergency de-pressurisation. Turkish training providers on elevator.tr offer dedicated hydraulic elevator maintenance courses aligned with EN 81-20 Β§12 requirements.
What AFAD-related seismic training is relevant for elevator technicians in Turkey?
AFAD (the Turkish Disaster and Emergency Management Authority) publishes seismic hazard maps and building classification requirements that affect elevator installation and maintenance. Technicians working in Turkey should understand EN 81-77 seismic category determination, how to inspect seismic switches and buffers post-earthquake, and the post-seismic re-commissioning procedure. Several Turkish training providers certified by AFAD or accredited by TSE offer dedicated seismic awareness modules for elevator professionals.
