Uzbekistan Resolution to Require Color Based on Inspection Results

According to Uzbekistan’s Cabinet Resolution No. 431 dated July 12, a new regulation on the procedure for conducting technical inspections of elevators has been approved, Zamin reports. According to the resolution, elevators installed in buildings and used continuously must undergo a mandatory technical inspection at least once every 12 months, and any elevator that is being commissioned or newly installed must undergo a preliminary inspection before being registered in the special electronic information system. Based on the results of the inspection, an informational label indicating the condition will be attached to each elevator: “Green” — for elevators fully suitable for operation; “Blue” — for elevators with minor malfunctions; “Yellow” — for elevators found to be faulty; and “Red” — for elevators deemed hazardous to use. Elevators that receive a red label will be prohibited from use.
