Lift Test Records and Document File

Papers that belong to a lift are kept with the lift. Test readings, commissioning notes, drawings and certificates are filed against the machine and the building it serves.

What the file holds

Your office already keeps these papers somewhere. Here they sit beside the machine they describe.

Test readings taken

Readings your engineer records at commissioning and after major work, such as brake, governor and load test figures.

Commissioning and handover notes

The note signed at handover, the walkthrough remarks and the warranty period your office offered the buyer.

Drawings and layouts

Shaft and machine room drawings, wiring diagrams and the controller layout for the model installed.

Certificates and correspondence

Certificates and letters your office holds for that lift, with the date each was added and by whom.

Photographs

Site photographs from erection, from a major repair or from a modernisation, attached to the lift.

Who may open a paper

Access follows the work a person does. A technician on the route can read a drawing for the machine he is standing in front of, while letters and certificates stay with the office staff you name. Every document shows who uploaded it and when, and a replaced version is kept rather than overwritten. Nothing leaves the system unless a person with permission downloads it.

Dates the office watches

Some papers carry a date that matters later.

Warranty end

The day a new lift comes off warranty, so a paid contract can be discussed in good time.

Renewal of a document

Where a paper your office keeps has an expiry on it, that date appears on a list for the staff to act on.

Last test after major work

The date readings were last taken on a machine, so an older entry can be seen and acted on.

What this module does not claim

  • It makes no statement about what any authority requires of a lift or its owner
  • It issues no certificate, and your engineer signs whatever your practice needs
  • It does not judge whether a reading is within limits
  • Which papers you keep, and for how long, is your own decision with your advisors
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does the system decide which papers a lift must have?

No. You list the papers your office keeps for each kind of lift, and the file follows that list.

Can an old version of a drawing be recovered?

Yes. A new upload sits beside the earlier one, and both stay readable with their dates.

Who can download a certificate?

Only the staff you permit. The record shows the person who downloaded it and the day it happened.

Can a technician add a photograph from the site?

Yes. Photographs taken during a visit or a repair attach to the lift from his phone.
