SPNG Consultants’ comments:
As stated in the circular, before carrying out the lift modernisation works, lift owner needs to take note for the following:
i) A lift owner must need to inform BCA before he can start these works. He must engage a registered lift service contractor to carry out the works under the supervision of an independent Authorised Examiner (“AE”).
ii) Any existing Permit-to-Operate (“PTO”) will cease to be valid whilst the works are being done.
iii) Upon completion, an AE must examine, inspect and test the lift and issue a certificate that states that the lift is fit for operation before the owner can apply to BCA for a PTO.
Residents or occupants should be notified on the schedule of modernisation of works through notices. Continue reading “Advisory on the modernisation of existing lifts”
