SYNOPSIS

The Malaysian Lift Regulations is based on BS2655 and was established under the Factory and Machineries Act 1967. The regulations came into force on 1st February 1970 for Passenger and Goods lifts while Escalators are managed under special provision.

Since the establishment of the Lift Regulations, the BS which it is based on has undergone many revisions. Jabatan Keselamatan dan Kesihatan Pekerjaan (JKKP) is the regulatory authority which enforces the Lift Regulations and has issued directives to incorporate some important requirements that are in the latest standards which are not in the Lift Regulations.

This talk will give an update on the work being done to bring the Malaysian VTS industry up to par with global standards by adapting the latest EN.
