We are here to answer all of your questions about the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (BetrSichV).
Connection to an emergency call center is necessary for compliance with the requirements of the new German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (BetrSichV). The Ordinance stipulates that "[…] operators of elevator systems must ensure that the car of the elevator system has a functioning two-way communication system, via which an emergency service can be contacted at all times." (Excerpt from BetrSichV Annex 1, point 4.1.) Bosch has an emergency call center, which provides a 24/7 service for incoming elevator emergency calls and thus meets the requirements of the Ordinance.
All elevators used to transport people are affected.
The relevant requirements must be implemented by 12/31/2020.
The elevator operator is responsible for implementation.
The new Ordinance also applies to elevators for personal use in private residences.
There are serious consequences in terms of liability for the operator.
