TSE ISO/TS 8100-22

TSE ISO/TS 8100-22 is a technical specification that addresses prerequisite requirements for applications for certification of new lifts, model lifts, lift components and lift functions. It helps define the preparatory basis for initiating a certification request in the lift sector, where different kinds of objects may need to be assessed at different levels.

What falls within the certification application context

The focus of this document is not the detailed design of a lift itself, but the prerequisites for a certification application. New lifts, model lifts, individual lift components and specific lift functions are treated as separate application subjects. That distinction matters because a complete installation, a component and a function are not verified in the same way. The technical specification sets the minimum preparatory framework for submitting such applications.

Core technical distinctions in lift terminology

In general technical usage, a lift is a system that moves persons and/or goods vertically or along an inclined path. A “model lift” can represent a design family rather than one installed unit; a “lift component” is a more limited element such as a door system, control equipment or a safety-related subassembly. The term “lift function” refers to system behaviour rather than a physical part, such as speed control, levelling or door operation. These distinctions are essential when defining the level at which certification is intended.

Based on ISO/TS 8100-22:2024, this TSE publication is linked to ISO/TS 8100-22-EQV. It provides a common technical basis for certification bodies, manufacturers, designers and teams managing conformity assessment preparations in the lift industry.
