Lift and Elevator Codes and Standards in Georgia
Georgia regulates lifts through Government decrees issued under the Product Safety and Free Movement Code: the Technical Regulation on Lift Safety (Decree No. 289 of 20 July 2011, amended by Decree No. 302 of 8 June 2022) governs placing lifts and safety components on the market with conformity assessment modules (B, E, H etc.) by bodies accredited in Georgia, the OECD or the EU; the Technical Regulation on Safe Operation of Lifts (Decree No. 446 of 31 December 2013) puts maintenance, annual static and dynamic tests and periodic technical inspection duties on the owner. Escalators have their own Technical Regulation (Decree No. 439 of 31 December 2013, amended 2015 and 19 December 2025) requiring periodic technical inspection at least once a year. The Technical and Construction Supervision Agency (LEPL) supervises; lifts must be registered with it.
