Lift and Elevator Codes and Standards in Uzbekistan
New lifts are placed on the market under a Cabinet of Ministers technical regulation. From 1 July 2026 the Technical Regulation on the Safety of Lifts and Lift Devices (Resolution No. 430 of 12 July 2025) replaces the General Technical Regulation on Lift Safety (Resolution No. 801 of 6 October 2017). It is modelled on the EU Lifts Directive: it covers passenger and goods-passenger lifts and listed safety components (not escalators), presumes conformity for products meeting a list of national standards still to be approved by the Agency for Technical Regulation, and uses module-based conformity assessment, a manufacturer/installer declaration of conformity, a national conformity mark, notified conformity bodies, market surveillance by the Industrial, Radiation and Nuclear Safety Committee, and import control by the State Customs Committee. The regulation requires a lift passport and a logbook of repairs and periodic technical examinations but does not itself set inspection intervals.
Who regulates lifts
Industrial, Radiation and Nuclear Safety Committee under the Cabinet of Ministers (market surveillance); Agency for Technical Regulation (standards, designation of conformity bodies)
Periodic inspection
Periodic technical examinations recorded in the lift logbook (Res. 430 Annex 2). Elevator World reported a resolution requiring mandatory technical inspection at least once every 12 months, with a colour marking based on inspection results (search summary only; resolution number and inspecting body not confirmed).
Installer and maintenance licensing
Not found; only manufacturers/installers may affix the national conformity mark
