Service & Statutory Inspection

It is a legal requirement from the Danish Working Environment Authority that elevators and lifts for people and goods must have statutory safety inspections carried out by a certified expert within different intervals depending on the product and its use. This means that the frequency of your statutory safety inspection depends on whether it is a passenger or goods elevator, lifting platform, stairlift, as well as the height of the lift and the frequency of its use. If you do not have a service agreement, you run the risk of a fine from the Danish Working Environment Authority, that general maintenance is not carried out and in the long run it will end up in a repair cost that could have been avoided, or in the worst case an accident. You can read more about the requirements for the frequency of your product's safety inspection under Arbejdstilsynets Bekendtgørelse nr. 461 af 23 Maj 2016, bilag 2 her. 

We would like to point out that the Danish Working Environment Authority's legal requirements only include safety inspections, but that HYDRO-CON as a manufacturer recommends that you sign a service agreement that includes safety inspections and general maintenance on a minimum quarterly basis.

Regardless of whether you have a service agreement directly through us or our partner, you are guaranteed good service. Our products are considered to be of high quality, which is why it is a high priority for us that our customers experience that the service level matches the product. With a service inspection agreement with us, you are sure that our service technicians' most important task is to ensure that our customers' systems comply with applicable safety standards, have optimal uptime, operational safety, and a long product life with high performance.

We are ISO 9001 certified to carry out statutory inspections on all our own manufactured systems such as elevators, platform lifts, freight lifts, stair lifts and disabled lifts.

Our service agreements mean that you as a customer do not have to spend time coordinating and keeping track of periodic statutory inspections, we monitor and hold the required inspections set by the Danish Working Environment Authority. In addition, we provide maintenance of the customer's system, delivery and lubrication with necessary lubricants, and report to the customer on any errors and deficiencies found during the inspection.

We offer service agreements that, among other things, comply with the statutory safety inspections on our own systems only. This is because we naturally have the greatest expertise in systems we have produced ourselves. We have a permanent nationwide partner who we can rely on to deliver a service inspection that meets our high standards.

Our partners receive a comprehensive product specification along with each service agreement we refer them to, so that you as a customer can trust that your elevator, platform lift, freight lift, stair lift, or handicap lift runs smoothly and safely in accordance with the Danish Working Environment Authority's regulations.

We are proud of the long lifespan of our systems, and recommend that you view a service agreement with regular service checks as insurance. Insurance for an extended lifespan of your system, and against unexpected repair costs for your elevator, platform lift, freight lift, stairlift, or handicap lift.

By signing a service agreement that includes safety inspections and maintenance, you are guaranteed that your system will be inspected at least 4 to 12 times a year, depending on the regulations of the Danish Working Environment Authority. This way, it is possible to perform general preventive maintenance such as lubrication of the system, as well as catch minor repairs that require replacement of spare parts before the damage develops into a major repair.
