Summary
Elevator Performance Inspectors inspect, test, and evaluate the performance and safety of elevators, confirming compliance with relevant laws and standards as specialized technicians.
Description
Elevator Performance Inspectors conduct performance tests such as speed tests, load capacity tests, emergency stop tests, brake tests, and vibration measurements on elevators, and based on the test results, confirm compliance with legal and standard values. Inspection results are recorded and submitted as reports, and if abnormalities are found, they collaborate with maintenance departments or construction managers to propose and implement improvements. They are responsible for periodic inspections and post-construction inspections based on the Building Standards Act and Elevator Safety Rules, contributing to public safety.
Future Outlook
Due to aging infrastructure equipment and strengthening safety regulations, demand for periodic elevator inspections is expected to remain stable. On the other hand, the introduction of IoT and remote diagnostic technologies is progressing, and efficiency improvements in inspection work are anticipated.
