Lift and Elevator Codes and Standards in Chad
No lift-specific law, decree or standard was found for Chad. The Labour Code (Loi 038/PR/96) leaves workplace hygiene and safety rules to a decree and requires machines and mechanisms to be kept safe, but does not name lifts. The 2010 construction-principles law (Loi 004/PR/2010) exists but its full text could not be read; a 2025 press report says building standards are poorly enforced. The national standards body ATNOR exists (Loi 044/PR/2014) but no lift standard adoption was found.
Who regulates lifts
No lift regulator identified. Workplace safety: labour inspectors / médecins-inspecteurs du travail under the ministry in charge of labour (Labour Code arts 224-238). Construction: the State designs construction regulation and decentralised authorities apply it (Loi 004/PR/2010 abstract).
Periodic inspection
None found for lifts. The Labour Code (art. 224) delegates workplace hygiene and safety conditions to a decree; no such decree mentioning lifts was found.
Installer and maintenance licensing
None found.
