Lift and Elevator Codes and Standards in Tajikistan

Tajikistan is not an EAEU member, so TR CU 011/2011 does not apply. No Tajik lift-specific technical regulation, government resolution or operating rules were found. Interstate (CIS) lift standards are joined by Tajikistan, e.g. GOST 34581-2019 (EN 81-21) and the escalator standard GOST 33966.1-2016 (EN 115-1, MOD), for which Tajikstandart voted at the Interstate Council (protocol 91-P, 27 September 2016). Technical regulations in general are made under the Law on Technical Regulation and implemented by the Agency for Standardization, Metrology, Certification and Trade Inspection under the Government (Tajikstandart). Industrial safety of hazardous production facilities is governed by Law No. 14 of 28 February 2004 (in force, amended to 17.06.2026) and supervised by the Service for State Supervision of Safe Work in Industry and Mining under the Government (Resolution No. 152 of 3 March 2014); whether lifts or escalators are hazardous production facilities under that law could not be checked (full text paywalled). The Housing Code 2022 (No. 1852) lists lifts and lift shafts as common property of a multi-apartment building.
