Lift and Elevator Codes and Standards in SD
No Sudanese lift regulation, code or standard was found in English or Arabic searches. The International Code Council records that Sudan has no published building code available online and that the regulatory authority is unclear. Khartoum State has a building regulation (2008) that academic studies cite for fire-safety provisions; its lift content was not seen. The Labour Act 1997 sets general employer safety duties but does not mention lifts. The Sudanese Standards and Metrology Organization (SSMO) publishes Sudanese standards; no lift or escalator standard was found. Sources predate or ignore the war, and post-war Khartoum building rules seen concern damaged-building inspection only.
