Lift and Elevator Codes and Standards in Belarus
Belarus is an EAEU member and applies TR CU 011/2011 'Safety of lifts' to new lifts and to bringing worn-out lifts into conformity; Gospromnadzor communicated EEC Council Decision No. 112 of 29.11.2024 on the deadline for lifts that have exceeded their designated service life. Industrial-safety supervision of lifts is carried out by Gospromnadzor (Department for supervision of industrial safety under the Ministry of Emergency Situations), which registers lifts and performs technical examinations of new lifts before commissioning. Operating rules were the MChS 'Rules for ensuring industrial safety in operation of lifts' (Resolution No. 18 of 01.03.2011) per a 2018 report; whether they are still in force was not confirmed. In 2020 MChS put to public consultation draft 'Rules for ensuring industrial safety of lifts, construction hoists, escalators and passenger conveyors' under the Law of 5 January 2016 No. 354-Z 'On industrial safety', harmonised with TR CU 011/2011 and TR CU 010/2011 (owner orders technical examination; results recorded in the passport and reported to Gospromnadzor within 15 days); its adoption was not confirmed.
