TWO PRODUCTS GAIN LIFTINSTITUUT CERTIFICATION

        Liftinstituut has awarded certifications for two vertical-transportation products, the Notified Body recently announced. One is a universal escalator controller from Pro-Engineering. Because escalators play a key role in moving people within transportation facilities, shopping centers and other buildings, addressing malfunctions quickly is vital. Replacing the controller, however, has been problematic: “Until now, it would take eight to 12 weeks to have the control replaced,” says Stefan van der Zee, director of Pro-Engineering. The solution, says van der Zee, is his company's universal escalator control, “suitable for the modernization of all escalator brands," which can be ready in less than two weeks. He said the certification was key to bringing the controller to market. The second product, from GENESIS, is a range of landing doors, which Liftinstituut certified according to the European Lifts Directive and the EN 81-58:2018 standard.
