[WEBINAR] SS 550 : 2020 Code of Practice for Installation, Operation and Maintenance of Electric Passenger and Goods Lifts

ABOUT

The Webinar will provide key updates on the revised Singapore Standard SS 550 : 2020.

SS 550 specifies the safety rules for permanently installed new passenger or goods lifts, with traction or hydraulic drive, serving defined landing levels, having a car designed for the transportation of persons or goods or persons and goods, suspended by ropes or jacks and moving between guide rails inclined not more than 15° to the vertical.

SS 550 also aligns the operations for emergencies, evacuations and fire lifts to provide consistency and harmonise with the Fire Code.
