The “Regulation Amending the Elevator Market Surveillance and Inspection Regulation,” prepared by the Ministry of Industry and Technology, was published in the Official Gazette on August 12, 2025, and entered into force.
The amendment published in the Official Gazette added the following paragraph to Article 15 of the Elevator Market Surveillance and Inspection Regulation published in the Official Gazette dated 11/3/2022 and numbered 31775:
“(10) The elevator installer is the manufacturer of the elevator and is subject to the obligations set forth in Article 7 of the Law. In case of non-compliance with these obligations, the sanctions stipulated in the Law shall be applied to the identified non-compliance.”
With this new amendment, the principles regarding the application of administrative sanctions in the regulation have been reorganized. With the new regulation, elevator installers will be subject to “manufacturer obligations” under the Product Safety and Technical Regulations Law.
Thus, installers will be required to comply with product safety and technical requirements. In the event of non-compliance with manufacturer obligations, the administrative sanctions provided for in the law will be directly applied to the identified non-compliance. In this context, not only manufacturers but also the companies performing the installation will be held responsible during the inspection process and will face criminal sanctions if they fail to comply with the necessary technical standards.
