Old elevators, safety assessment, risk analysis.Abstract
According to statistical data, China currently ranks first in the world in terms of elevator holdings, annual production, and average annual growth. Among them, the number of elevators that have been in use for more than 15 years has exceeded 800,000, and those older than 20 years have surpassed 170,000. Due to prolonged use and wear and tear, these aging elevators face a higher probability of malfunctions. In the event of a safety accident, they pose a direct threat to the lives of residents. Therefore, it is particularly urgent and important to carry out safety assessments on aging elevators in use, aiming to comprehensively identify potential risks and propose targeted safety countermeasures to effectively reduce safety risks. This paper elaborates on the workflow of elevator safety assessments and clarifies the specific requirements for risk evaluations, aiming to provide useful references and guidance for future elevator inspection work.
