  Introduction  
 
1. Starting off the goals of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) aiming at 
achievement of integration and in conjunction among member states in all 
fields reaching to their unity, in agreement with the objectives of the new 
unified economic agreement between GCC  states that laid the foundations for the co mmon GCC market to develop common action 
between GCC states, and marked the steps of economic integration starting with creation of a free trade zone, then customs union, and then completion of GCC common market requirements, and ultimately the 
monetary an d economic union as well as standardization of business, 
industrial and customs legislations applicable in the member  states.  
2. In realization of the GCC goals of creating Gulf Standardization Organization 
(GSO), promoting the economic integration march, goi ng along with the 
customs union requirements including unification of standards and metrology 
in the member states, ensuring safety and quality of the goods entering GCC 
markets for the interests of their citizens, consolidation, follow up and implementation and unification by various standardization activities to 
participate in development of its production and services sectors, development 
of GCC intra -trade, protection of consumers, environment and public health, 
promotion of GCC industries to bolster GC C economy and maintain and 
preserve the gains of GCC states, and reduction of technical barriers to trade (TBT) in agreement with goals of the customs unification and GCC states 
concessions in World Trade Organization  (WTO).  
3. In implementation of the resolu tions of the GCC Financial Economic and 
Cooperation Committee in its 72nd session (4 -5 November 2006) “urging GSO 
to complete its efforts in setting unified procedures to apply GSO standards in 
GSO member states to be applied collectively in the same manne r at inter -
state entry ports in implementation of the customs notification requirements 
at the scheduled time and to streamline flow of commodities traffic”.  
   Page 6 of 84 
  4. In implementation of the resolution of GSO Board of directors in its 6th 
session (5 June 2007) a pproving commencement of implementing 
recommendations of the project of developing compliance verification in 
GSO member states; Regional Conformity Assessment Scheme (RCAS) including adoption of the concept that obligation should be based on the 
product e ssential requirements (safety, health and environment) as a basis 
for setting the new GCC approach to legislative  obligation.  
5. In implementation of the resolution of GSO Board of directors in its 11th 
session (Doha,   22  
November 2009) by announcing the official accession of the Republic of 
Yemen to the  GCC Standardization Organization starting from 01 January 
2010, pursuant to the decision of the GCC Supreme Council in its 29th 
session (Muscat, 30 December  2008).  
6. Whereas the Laws and Regulations and control procedures applicable in 
GSO Member states on safety features of Passenger Lifts and Lift Safety 
Components  vary in scope and content leading to barriers to trade and 
difference in tender conditions in the desired GCC common market, 
without tangible return of this difference on customer protection against the hazards that may arise from these  products.  
7. Whereas barriers to the desired GCC common market should be lifted to allow selling of safe products with sufficient  safety.  
8. Whereas  consistency and adaptation should be achieved through specifying 
the basic requirements and the unified rules between the GSO member states regarding user and public health and safety required in Passenger Lifts and Lift 
Safety Components to allow placing  it on the market and free movement in the 
customs union territory.  
9. Whereas the Passenger Lifts and Lift Safety Components placed on the desired common market should not cause harm to the direct user or the surrounding  
environment.  
10. Whereas the safety of Pa ssenger Lifts and Lift Safety Components should 
be determined by reference to the intended use, it should allow higher 
limits to cover any foreseen misuse.  
11. Whereas published safety standards should be considered when Passenger Lifts are placed into service  and Lift Safety Components are placed on the 
market .  
    Page 7 of 84 
   
12. Whereas building constructors may require to use partially completed lift 
installations which do not yet meet all the essential requirements of this 
technical regulation and associated GSO standard s to facilitate the 
construction process.  
13. And whereas GSO is entrusted with developing, approval, updating and publishing of Gulf Technical Regulations and standards together with 
procedures of GCC compliance verification for commodities, products, 
measurement and calibration instruments, definitions, technical symbols and terminology, and requirements of sampling, inspection, testing and 
calibration in accordance with the executive bylaws issued thereof.  
 
This Regulation related to Passenger Lifts and Lift Safety Components has been 
issued stating the essential requirements to be met in Passenger Lifts and Lift Safety Components manufactured locally or imported to any of GSO member 
states. Any of these products shall be allowed to be freely distributed in GSO

   Page 29 of 84 
  CHAPTER IV  CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT  
 
Article (22): Risk assessment  
 
1. The manufacturer shall, before placing Passenger Lifts and Lift Safety 
Components on the market, and an installer before handing an installation over to the owner, shall identify all the hazards that the Passenger Lifts and Lift Safety 
Components may present, and assess the risk from potential exposure to such hazards. Measures must be taken to ensure that the level of risk posed by the equipment when placed i nto service or on the market is reduced to an 
acceptable level.  
2. The preliminary remarks in Annex 1 of this regulation include a requirement that 
a documented risk assessment must be made by the manufacturer and installer 
and recorded in the Technical Documentation which supports a GC 
Manufacturer’s Declaration of Conformity for a Passenger Lift or Lift Safety 
Component or a  GC Installer’s Declaration of Conformity for a Passenger Lift 
Installation.  
   Page 30 of 84 
  Article (23): Applicable Conformity Assessment Procedures  
 
1. Prior to placing any Passenger Lift into service, or placing Lift Safety 
Components on the market for the first time within a GSO member state, the 
Manufacturer and Installer shall ensure the Passenger Lifts and Lift Safety 
Components fully con form with this Regulation, including ensuring an 
appropriate conformity assessment procedure described in paragraphs 3 and 
4 below or in 5 below has been followed.  
2. The conformity assessment procedure will require the involvement of a 
Notified Body recognis ed and appointed for the purpose of that procedure as 
defined  in Article (1 ) 38.  The Manufacturer or Installer shall submit an 
application to a recognised Notified Body of their choice as set out in 
Annexes (7, 8 and 9).  
3. All Passenger Lift designs shall b e subject to Type Examination of the model 
passenger lift design by a Notified Body for conformity with the relevant Essential Health and Safety Requirements set out in Annex (1), including 
assessment of supporting technical documentation as described in A nnex ( 6). 
This conformity assessment procedure is described in  Annex 7.  
4. For series manufacture, an audit of the manufacturer’s production quality assurance control system must be carried out as described in Annex  8 to 
validate the Manufacturer’s capability to ensure continuing conformity of passenger lift components and equipment in accordance with the defined technical documentation;  
5. Satisfactory completion of conformity assessment for a lift design, and assessment of a manufacturer’s quality assurance  system as set out above, 
shall enable the application of the GC Marking and the GSO Conformity 
Tracking Symbol (GCTS) as set out in Article (19) and the raising and issuing of 
an appropriate Declaration of Conformity as set out in Article (20).  
6. All Passen ger lift installations must be made by an installer who has a current 
GC Notified Body Certificate of Passenger Lift Installer Competence indicating 
that they are competent to verify effectiveness of installation and final 
testing of passenger lift compone nts and equipment in accordance with the 
defined technical documentation. The process by which an installer submits an application for a GC Notified Body Certificate of Passenger Lift Installer 
Competence is described in Annex  9.  
   Page 31 of 84 
  7. Where the installer is also the manufacturer of the lift, in addition to a GC 
Notified Body Type Examination Certificate  and GC Notified Body 
Manufacturer’s Quality Assurance certificate for Passenger Lift Equipment of 
Lift Safety Component Design for the  design installed, a separate GC Notified 
Body Certificate of Passenger Lift Installer Competence is required for the 
installation work.  
8. Notified Body Certifications for Installers may be restricted in scope, for 
example, limiting scope to Domestic lifts o nly, excluding partially completed 
lifts for construction use or limiting scope to particular designs or 
manufacturers.    
9. As an alternative to the procedures mentioned above, at the installer’s request, a Notified Body may make an EC Type examination as a unit 
verification of a single installed example of a passenger lift, including 
appropriate final inspections and tests, as described in Annex 7, to validate 
conformity of the design and installation with the defined technical 
documentation and Essential H ealth and Safety Requirements set out in 
Annex (1) Satisfactory completion of conformity assessment, as set out 
above, shall enable the application of the Gulf Conformity Marking and the 
GSO Conformity Tracking Symbol (GCTS) as set out in Article (21) and the 
raising and issuing of an appropriate GC Manufacturer’s Declaration of 
Conformity for a Passenger Lift or Lift Safety Component and a GC Installer’s 
Declaration Of Conformity for a Passenger Lift Installation as set out in Article 
(20).  
10. Partially completed lifts used in construction works are subject to the same conformity assessment procedures but the Installer, for a single example 
installation the Notified Body, involved must make a judgement as to 
whether adequate safety measures are in place to allow safe operation, although all measures required by the relevant standards may not be fully 
met. Some possible deviations and acceptable safety measures are described 
in Annex 5.  The Passenger Lift GC Installer’s Declaration Of Conformity for a Passenger  Lift Installation  issued will be time limited to maximum period of 
three months.  
11. Domestic lifts are subject to the same conformity assessment requirements, 
but the Installer may have a Certificate of Passenger Lift Installer Competence 
which is limited in scope to this type of lift to allow for the different criteria of safety which apply to these lifts.  
   Page 32 of 84 
  12. Whilst the scope of this Regulation principally addresses the initial 
installation of new passenger lifts, where an existing installation is modified 
or upgraded such that at least than four of the five major components have 
been replaced within a 12 month period, it will be regarded as a new installation in line with the principles and intent of this Regulation.  Such an 
installation shall become the su bject of the conformity assessment procedure 
set out in clause 5 at the time when replacement of the fourth major 
component replacement is undertaken.  
Major components are considered to be: - 
- guide rails and fixings  
- carrier and/or sub -frame  
- controller  
- traction motor/hydraulic system  
- safety chain components and/or communication system.  
13. The installation of new lifts into existing buildings may not meet all the requirements of relevant GSO, ISO or IEC Standards which may provide a 
presumption of confo rmity.  In this instance it is acceptable to use this 
conformity assessment procedure to appoint a Notified Body to carry out any 
necessary inspections, assessments or examinations to determine whether 
the installation can still be considered to meet the e ssential health and safety 
and other requirements of the Gulf Technical Regulations in force if extra 
measures are taken.  In such circumstances it is advisable that the Notified Body involved be sought at the earliest possible opportunity, such as at the 
specification stage, to make it more likely that the final installation will be 
conside red acceptable  
14. Notified Bodies undertaking conformity assessment activities of this nature, and any member states making national requirements, shall participate in co -
ordination activities to ensure that similar criteria of acceptability are 
recognised an d established for consistency across all GSO member states.  
   Page 33 of 84 
  Article (24): Conformity Assessment and Testing  
 
1. In case of use of a third party Conformity Assessment Body for Annex 7 or Annex 
8 or Annex 9 Conformity Assessment Procedure, it must be a No tified Body according to 
the definition in article (1).  
2.  Where testing or conformity assessment is done by external bodies they should 
ideally be accredited to ISO 17020 for inspection or ISO 17025 for laboratory tests by an ILAC MRA signatory accredita tion authority. Where this is not possible, the testing 
organization, the execution of the testing and reporting must meet similar criteria to these 
standards. In all cases the tests must be clearly documented so they are traceable and 
repeatable if necess ary. It must be clear that testing has been carried out with adequate 
impartially and independence.  
3.  Subject to the approval of the certifying Notified Body, manufacturers may perform 
testing in house to check aspects of the  conformity of products whic h they manufacture 
with the requirements of this regulation and relevant standards and to ensure continuing conformity for serial manufacture.  
4.  The execution of a manufacturer’s own testing and reporting must satisfy the 
principles of, and similar criteria to, ISO 17020 for inspection or ISO 17025 for laboratory tests. In all cases the tests must be clearly documented so they are traceable and repeatable 
if necessary. It must be clear that testing has been carried out with adequate impartial ly and 
independence.

presenting a risk at national level  
 
1. Where the Market Surveillance Authorities of one Member State have taken 
action pursuant to the Gulf Technical Regulations in force related to products 
presenting a high risk, or where they have sufficient reason to believe that Passenger Lift installations or Lift Safety Components covered by this 
Technical Regulation present a risk to the health or safety of persons, property 
and environment, they shall carry out an evaluation in relation to the concerned Passenger Lift installa tions or Lift Safety Components covering all 
the requirements laid down in this Technical Regulation. The relevant economic operators shall cooperate as necessary with the Market 
Surveillance  Authorities.  
2. Where, in the course of the evaluation mentioned in  paragraph (1) of this 
Article, the Market Surveillance Authorities of a GSO Member State find that a  Passenger Lift installation or Lift Safety Component does  not comply with 
the requirements laid down in this Technical Regulation, they shall without delay require the relevant economic operator to take appropriate corrective 
actions to bring the Passenger Lift installations or Lift Safety Components into compliance with those requirements, to withdraw the Passenger Lift 
installations or Lift Safety Compo nents from the market, or to recall it within 
a reasonable period, commensurate with the nature of the risk, as they may  
prescribe or to temporarily or permanently remove a Passenger Lift 
Installation from service.  
3. Where the Market Surveillance Authoritie s of a GSO Member State make one 
of the following findings, it shall require the relevant economic operator to 
put an end to the non- compliance concerned and may make further 
investigations to ensure that all the technical requirement of this regulation 
are also met:  
• That the Gulf Conformity Marking or GCTS symbol has been affixed in 
violation of Article ( 21); 
• That the Gulf Conformity Marking or GCTS symbol has not been 
affixed;  
• That the Declaration of Conformity has not been drawn up;

  Annex (1)  Essential health and safety requirements relating to the design, construction 
and installation  of Passenger Lifts and Safety Components  
 
Preliminary Remarks  
1. Obligations under essential health and safety requirements apply only where the corresponding  risk exists for the lift or safety component when used as intended by the 
installer or the manufacturer.  
2. The essential health and safety requirements contained in the Technical Regulation are 
imperatives. However, given the present state of the art, the objectives which they lay down may not be attainable. In such cases, and to the greatest extent possible, the lift or safety 
components for lifts must be designed and constructed in such a way as to approximate to 
those objectives.  
3. The manufacturer an d the installer are under an obligation to carry out a documented 
risk assessment in order to identify all the risks which apply to their products; they must then design and construct them taking account of the assessment.  
 1. General  
1.1 Where the relevan t risk exists and is not dealt with in this Annex, the essential health 
and safety requirements of Annex 1 of  GSO Technical regulation for Machinery apply.  
 
1.2. Carrier  
1.2.1 The carrier of each lift must be a car. This car must be designed and construct ed to 
offer the space and strength corresponding to the maximum number of persons and the rated load of the lift set by the installer.  
Where the lift is intended for the transport of persons, and where its dimensions permit, the car must be designed and co nstructed in such a way that its structural features do not 
obstruct or impede access and use by disabled persons and so as to allow any appropriate 
adjustments intended to facilitate its use by them.  
 1.3. Means of suspension and means of support  
1.3.1 Th e means of suspension and/or support of the carrier, its attachments and any 
terminal parts thereof must be selected and designed so as to ensure an adequate level of overall safety and to minimize the risk of the carrier falling, taking into account the 
conditions of use, the materials used and the conditions of manufacture.  
Where ropes or chains are used to suspend the carrier, there must be at least two 
independent cables or chains, each with its own anchorage system. Such ropes and chains 
must have no j oins or splices except where necessary for fixing or forming a loop.  
   Page 47 of 84 
  1.4. Control of loading (including overspeed)  
1.4.1. Lifts must be so designed, constructed and installed as to prevent normal starting if 
the rated load is exceeded.  
1.4.2. Lifts must be equipped with an overspeed governor.  
These requirements do not apply to lifts in which the design of the drive system prevents 
overspeed.  
1.4.3. Fast lifts must be equipped with a speed- monitoring and speed -limiting device.  
1.4.4. Lifts driven by f riction pulleys must be designed so as to ensure stability of the 
traction cables on the pulley.  
 
1.5. Machinery  
1.5.1. All passenger lifts must have their own individual lift machinery. This requirement does not apply to lifts in which the counterweights are replaced by a second carrier.  
1.5.2. The installer must ensure that the lift machinery and the associated devices of a lift 
are not accessible except for maintenance and in emergencies.  
 1.6. Controls  
 
1.6.1. The controls of lifts intended for use by unaccompanied disabled persons must be 
designed and located accordingly.  
1.6.2. The function of the controls must be clearly indicated.  
1.6.3. The call circuits of a group of lifts may be shared or interconnected.  
1.6.4. Electrical equipment must be so ins talled and connected that:  
(a) there can be no possible confusion with circuits which do not have any direct connection 
with the lift;  
(b) the power supply can be switched while on load;  
(c) movements of the lift are dependent on electrical safety devices in a separate electrical safety circuit;  
(d) a fault in the electrical installation does not give rise to a dangerous situation.  
    Page 48 of 84 
  2. Risks for persons outside the carrier  
 
2.1. The lift must be designed and constructed to ensure that the space in which t he carrier 
travels is inaccessible except for maintenance or in emergencies. Before a person enters that space, normal use of the lift must be made impossible.  
 
2.2. The lift must be designed and constructed to prevent the risk of crushing when the 
carrier is in one of its extreme positions.  
The objective will be achieved by means of free space or refuge beyond the extreme 
positions.  
In specific cases, particularly in existing buildings, where this solution is impossible to fulfil, other appropriate means m ay be provided to avoid this risk.  
 2.3. The landings at the entrance and exit of the carrier must be equipped with landing doors of adequate mechanical resistance for the conditions of use envisaged.  
An interlocking device must prevent during normal opera tion:  
(a) starting movement of the carrier, whether or not deliberately activated, unless all landing doors are shut and locked;  
(b) the opening of a landing door when the carrier is still moving and outside a prescribed landing zone.  
However, all landing movements with the doors open shall be allowed in specified zones on 
condition that the levelling speed is controlled.  
   Page 49 of 84 
  3. Risks for persons in the carrier  
 
3.1. Lift carriers must be completely enclosed by full- length walls, fitted floors and ceilings 
included, with the exception of ventilation apertures, and with full -length doors. These 
doors must be so designed and installed that the carrier cannot move, e xcept for the 
landing movements referred to in the third subparagraph of point 2.3, unless the doors are 
closed, and comes to a halt if the doors are opened.  
The doors of the carrier must remain closed and interlocked if the lift stops between two levels w here there is a risk of a fall  
between the carrier and the shaft or if there is no shaft.  
 3.2. In the event of a power cut or failure of components the lift must have devices to 
prevent free fall or uncontrolled movements of the carrier.  
The device preve nting the free fall of the carrier must be independent of the means of 
suspension of the carrier.  
This device must be able to stop the carrier at its rated load and at the maximum speed 
anticipated by the installer. Any stop occasioned by this device must not cause deceleration 
harmful to the occupants whatever the load conditions.  
 3.3. Buffers must be installed between the bottom of the shaft and the floor of the carrier.  
In this case, the free space referred to in point 2.2 must be measured with the buff ers 
totally compressed.  
This requirement does not apply to lifts in which the carrier cannot enter the free space 
referred to in point 2.2 by reason of the design of the drive system.  
 3.4. Lifts must be so designed and constructed as to make it impossible  for them to be set in 
motion if the device provided for in point 3.2 is not in an operational position.  
   Page 50 of 84 
  4. Other risks  
 
4.1. The landing doors and carrier doors or the two doors together, where motorized, must 
be fitted with a device to prevent the risk  of crushing when they are moving.  
4.2. Landing doors, where they have to contribute to the protection of the building against fire, including those with glass parts, must be suitably resistant to fire in terms of their integrity and their properties with regard to insulation (containment of flames) and the 
transmission of heat (thermal radiation).  
4.3. Counterweights must be so installed as to avoid any risk of colliding with or falling on to the carrier.  
4.4. Lifts must be equipped with means enabling peo ple trapped in the carrier to be 
released and evacuated.  
4.5. Carriers must be fitted with two -way means of communication allowing permanent 
contact with a rescue service.  
4.6. Lifts must be so designed and constructed that, in the event of the temperature  in the 
lift machine exceeding the maximum set by the installer, they can complete movements in progress but refuse new commands.  
4.7. Carriers must be designed and constructed to ensure sufficient ventilation for 
passengers, even in the event of a prolong ed stoppage.  
4.8. The carrier should be adequately lit whenever in use or whenever a door is opened; there must also be emergency lighting.  
4.9. The means of communication referred to in point 4.5 and the emergency lighting 
referred to in point 4.8 must be  designed and constructed so as to function even without 
the normal power supply. Their period of operation should be long enough to allow normal operation of the rescue procedure.  
4.10. The control circuits of lifts which may be used in the event of fire must be designed and manufactured so that lifts may be prevented from stopping at certain levels and allow for priority control of the lift by rescue teams.  
4.11 Lift installations and safety components should meet the relevant requirements for Electromagn etic Compatibility defined in GSO regulations and  published standards.  
   Page 51 of 84 
  5. Marking  
 
5.1. In addition to the minimum particulars required for any machine pursuant to points  
1.7.3  of Annex I to GSO Regulation for Machinery, each carrier must bear an easily visible 
plate clearly showing the rated load in kilograms and the maximum number of passengers 
which may be carried.  
5.2. If the lift is designed to allow people trapped in the carrier to escape without outside 
help, the relevant instructions must b e clear and visible in the carrier.  
 
6. Instructions  
 6.1. The safety components for lifts referred to in Annex III must be accompanied by 
instructions, so the following can be carried out effectively and without danger:  
(a) assembly;  
(b) connection;  
(c) a djustment;  
(d) maintenance.  
6.2. Each lift must be accompanied by instructions. The instructions shall contain at least the following documents:  
(a) instructions containing the plans and diagrams necessary for normal use and relating to maintenance, inspec tion, repair, periodic checks and the rescue operations referred to in 
point 4.4;  
(b) a logbook in which repairs and, where appropriate, periodic checks can be noted.  
 
7. Installations  
 7.1 An inspection and maintenance contract for an installation must be in place before an installation can be placed into service.  
7.2 Where the access required for effective inspection and maintenance is on, or is accessed through, private property, for example a penthouse suite, a legal agreement with the owner of the property, or a condition on the sale of the property, permitting reasonable access for 
inspection and maintenance, must be in place before the installation can be placed into service.

  Annex (5) Notes on par tially completed lift installations for construction use  
 
It is common practice in large construction projects that once a passenger lift has been 
installed and tested, but not formally placed into service, it can be used by the constructor 
to help transpo rt personnel and materials between the ground and upper levels.  
In such circumstances, whilst the passenger lift may be considered to conform with all 
relevant requirements, it may not be formally placed into service due to other factors.  For 
instance, due to the stage of the construction project, there may not be a fully functional 
telephone line connection for the lift emergency call system to be connected to, or possibly lighting arrangements on landing levels may not be permanent or of the required lux  
values.  Such temporary deficiencies prevent the lift from being formally placed into service, but do not necessarily mean the lift is unsafe and hence under certain specific 
arrangements in place, the lift could be utilised by the constructor.  
 
Typical d eviations and common solutions would include:  
• Lack of permanent or poor landing lighting / installation of appropriate level of 
temporary lighting;  
• Emergency Rescue/Call system not connected / Use dedicated lift operator with 
handheld radios;  
• Uneven floor at landing levels / use of boarding or temporary surface finish to 
eliminate risk of slips and trips;  
• Temporary machine room door / Suitable strength and lockable door to be fitted to prevent unauthorised access;  
• Installation of temporary internal finishes  to prevent damage potentially reducing 
rated load / redefine and display revised temporary rated load in carrier.

GC Type Examination certificate or in an annex to the certificate referenced in the Additional Information field of the certificate.   Page 61 of 84 
  Annex (8) Assessment of Passenger Lifts and Lift Safety Components Manufacturer’s 
Quality Assurance Sys tem by Notified Body -  
 1. Introduction  
1.1. A GC Type Examination certificate demonstrates that the design of the certified Passenger Lift or Lift Safety Component conforms with the relevant GSO, ISO or IEC Standards and corresponding essential health and safety  and other requirements of 
the relevant Gulf Technical Regulations.  The GC Type Examination for the design is valid for three years and is reviewed for continued suitability and compliance only at renewal or when standards or state of the art change.  For  serial manufacture, a 
further requirement is a Notified Body assessment that the manufacturer has a production quality assurance system capable of producing Passenger Lifts or Lift 
Safety Components which continue to conform to the type in a GC Type 
examination certificate;  
1.2. The GC Type Examination certificate will not be considered valid unless supported 
by a Notified Body Manufacturer’s Quality Assurance Certificate which includes the 
product in its scope.  
1.3. The Notified Body Manufacturer’s Quality Assuran ce Certificate may include several 
different products with separate GC Type Examination Certificates in its scope. Further applications can be made to extend the scope of the certification.  
   Page 62 of 84 
  2. Application  
2.1. The relevant economic operator shall lodge an applic ation for a GC Manufacturer’s 
Quality Assurance assessment with a single Notified Body of their choice.  A 
Manufacturer's Authorized Representative may lodge the application referred to in 
section (1) above on behalf the Manufacturer, provided that this function is 
specified in a mandate.  
2.2. The application does not need to be made to the same Notified Body which issued 
the GC Type examination certificate(s) for the products to be covered by the Quality 
Assurance certificate.  
2.3. The application shall include:  
- The name and address of the Manufacturer and, if the application is lodged by the 
Authorized Representative, their name and address as well, along with details of the 
proposed scope of assessment, such as the range of models, types and sizes of 
passenger lifts and lift safety components to be included within the assessment;  
- A written declaration that an application for the same scope of assessment has not 
been lodged with any other Notified Body;  
- Documentation defining the structure, content and application of the production 
or installation quality assurance systems;  
- The Technical Documentation set out in Annex (5) of this regulation, accompanied 
by any necessary supporting evidence for the adequacy of the technical design 
solution, includin g any applicable GC Type Examination certificates.  
2.4. The Notified Body will acknowledge the application and agree with the 
Manufacturer a date and program for the initial assessment.  
 
   Page 63 of 84 
  3. Notified Body’s duties  
3.1. The Notified Body shall assess the production qua lity assurance system to 
determine whether it satisfies the requirements for a Production Quality Assurance 
System, as set out in Manufacturer’s responsibilities below.  The Notified Body shall 
verify that the production quality assurance system conforms with the relevant 
GSO, ISO or IEC Standards and corresponding essential health and safety and other requirements of the Gulf Technical Regulations in force.  
3.2. The initial assessment shall include a visit to the Manufacturer’s office and key manufacturing fac ilities and, if the Notified Body considers it necessary, an 
installation site, as relevant to the scope of proposed assessment.  In the event that 
significant manufacturing activities are outsourced by the manufacturer, access to 
these facilities shall also be made available to the Notified Body. If the result of the 
initial assessment is satisfactory, the Notified Body will issue a Manufacturer’s 
Quality Assurance Certificate valid for three years from the date at which all non -
conformities from the initi al assessment are cleared. The certificate or an annex to 
the certificate will indicate which products are covered in the scope of the 
certification.  
3.3. If the manufacturer holds an ISO 9001 certification from an accredited body, the 
Notified Body assessment is likely to be simpler, but the Notified Body must still 
make its own assessment of whether the Manufacturer’s Quality Assurance System 
can ensure that serial manufacture implements all necessary measures to ensure 
continuing conformity of the products un der consideration. Other aspects of an ISO 
9001 quality assurance system need not be re -checked.  
3.4. The continued suitability and compliance of the approved production or installation 
quality assurance system shall be monitored by on- site assessment by the No tified 
Body at least two times during the 3 year period of the certification, and at least every 13 months.  The actual frequency of monitoring will be determined by the Notified Body’s risk assessment, depending upon the size of the Manufacturer’s 
organis ation, extent of certified scope and activity levels.  If the result of the 
monitoring assessments is satisfactory, the Manufacturer’s Quality Assurance 
Certif icate remains valid. If any non -conform ities found cannot be cleared with a 
reasonable time, the Notified Body may withdraw or suspend the Manufacturer’s Quality Assurance Certificate.  
3.5. No more than 2 months before the end of the three year period of certificate validity, the quality system must be fully re -assessed by the Notified Body. If the 
result  of the re -assessment is satisfactory the certificate will be extended by three 
years from the original expiry date.  
   Page 64 of 84 
  3.6. The Notified Body shall inform the manufacturer of their plans for undertaking 
future surveillance visits for the purpose of assessing the continued capability of the 
production or installation quality assurance systems to ensure conformity  to type.  
These surveillance visits shall include visits to key manufacturing facilities or installation sites as relevant to verifying the continued ca pability of the production 
quality assurance systems.  
3.7. The Notified Body may additionally conduct unscheduled surveillance activities in the event of reports of complaint, non- conformity  or other failings which indicate 
the quality assurance system is not e nsuring continued conformity  to type.   
3.8. Following each assessment visit, the Notified Body will produce, normally within two weeks of the visit, a report containing details of their assessment activities, 
findings, conclusions and reasoned assessment decis ion.  Without prejudice to its 
obligations to the Notifying Authority, the Notified Body shall only release the content of such reports to 3
rd parties, in full or in part, with the agreement of the  
Manufacturer or Installer. The Notified Body must record surveillance and re -
assessment assessment dates on an updated annex to the Notified Body Manufacturer’s Quality Assurance Certificate.  
3.9. If surveillance or re -assessment indicates there are Non -conformities  in the 
Manufacturer’s Quality Assurance Syst em or the products being manfactured, the 
Notified Body must mention these in their report with an indication to the 
manufacturer of when they are expected to be cleared. The manufacturer must 
ensure that these are resolved as quickly as practicable. Once corrected, the 
manufacturer will provide agreed evidence of clearance to the certifying  Notified 
Body so the Non -conformities  can be formally cleared.  Failure to correct non -
conformities  within a reasonable time may result in suspension or withdrawal of the 
Notified Body Quality Assurance Certificate.  
3.10. If surveillance indicates that the Passenger Lifts or Lift Safety Components being 
manufactured no longer conform with the relevant GSO, ISO or IEC Standards and corresponding essential health and safety and other requirements of the Gulf 
Technical Regulations in force, the Notified Body will  suspend or withdraw  the GC 
Manufacturer’s Quality Assurance Certificate until further manufacturer of the 
product can be brought back into conformity.  
3.11. For all assessme nt and surveillance visits the auditing team shall have at least one 
member with experience of assessment in the lift technology concerned and 
knowledge of the essential health and safety requirements set out in Annex I of this 
regulation and in relevant s tandards.

  Annex (9)  Assessment of Installer Competence by Notified Body 
 
1. Introduction  
1.1. A Notified Body GC Type Examination certificate accompanied by a relevant Notified 
Body GC Manufacture r’s Quality Assurance certificate demonstrates the design and 
production of the certified Passenger Lift or Lift Safety Component conforms with the relevant GSO, ISO or IEC Standards and corresponding essential health and 
safety and other requirements of t he relevant Gulf Technical Regulations.  
1.2. To ensure that a lift will be safe before it is placed into service, it must be installed, 
commissioned and tested by a competent installer. A Notified Body GC Certificate of 
Passenger Lift Installer Competence indic ates that a Notified Body has checked that 
an installer can make installations which meet the requirements of this regulation 
and are in fact safe. The Installer may be any economic operator such as an 
independent party, a building constructor or the manufacturer or their agent or 
subcontractor.  
 
   Page 68 of 84 
  2. Application  
2.1. The economic operator shall lodge an application for a Notified Body GC 
Certificate of Passenger Lift Installer Competence with a single Notified Body of 
their choice.  
2.2. The Manufacturer's Authorized Representative may lodge the application referred to in s ection (2) above on behalf the Manufacturer, provided that they 
are specified in a mandate.

equipment used in installation work;  
2.5. The Notified Body  will acknowledge the application and agree with the 
Manufacturer a date and program for the initial assessment.  
2.6. Although not mandatory, it would be advisable for an applicant installer to 
agree with a Notified Body  which installation or installations will be used to 
assess their competence. The Notified Body will be able to check that the installer has adequate procedures, staff and equipment in place to ensure that 
the installations are likely to be satisfactory when they are examined.  Failure to 
do this may result in delays after an installation is complete or might result in an installation being rejected and therefore being unusable until improved.  
2.7. The installation or installations used for initial assessment need not be within GSO member states, but  they must be of similar equipment and use similar 
procedures, equally competent staff and be made under similar technical regulatory requirements to be considered representative.  
   Page 69 of 84 
  4. Notified Body’s duties  
4.1. The Notified Body shall assess one or more example installations to determine 
whether they conform with the relevant GSO, ISO or IEC Standards and 
corresponding essential health and safety and other requirements of the Gulf 
Technical Regulations and Standards in force.  
4.2. The Notified Body may visit an insta llation several times as the installation work 
proceeds, but a visit to the completed and commissioned installation before the equipment is placed into service must be included. The installation cannot be 
put into service until the installer has been certi fied as competent by the 
Notified Body.  
4.3. The number of installations assessed before a Notified Body certificate of installer competence is issued will be determined by the Notified Body’s risk 
assessment.  
4.4. The initial assessment shall also include one or mo re visits to the installer’s main 
office and the site office at the installation site examined with an examination of the equipment and procedures used in the installation work and the 
documentation and test reports used to demonstrate that the installatio n meets 
all necessary requirements. The Notified Body may require to witness testing of 
the installation if determined by the Notified Body’s risk assessment.  
4.5. If the result of the initial assessment is satisfactory, the Notified Body will issue a GC Notifi ed Body Certificate of Passenger Lift Installer competence valid for 
three years from the date at which all non -conformities from the initial 
assessment are cleared. The certificate or an annex to the certificate will indicate which products are covered in  the scope of the certification.  
4.6. The scope of the certificate must be clearly and specifically defined, for example to specific models or types of lift or a specific manufacturer’s products. 
Domestic lifts and partially completed installations for construc tor’s use must be 
specifically included or excluded  
4.7. The scope of the certification may be extended by a further subsequent application to the Notified Body. The Notified Body will agree with the installer what evidence will be required to extend the certification scope. Once the 
Notified Body is satisfied that the Installer can act competently within  the 
extended scope, the Annex describing the scope of the certificate can be 
updated.  
   Page 70 of 84 
  5.1. The continued competence of the installer shall be maintained under 
surveillance by examination of a newly completed installation by the Notified 
Body at least two times during the 3 year period of the certification, and at least every 13 months.  The Notified Body will also review the installer’s, premises, 
facilities and d ocumented procedures and records indicating that they continue 
to be competent to make safe installations. The actual frequency of monitoring 
will be determined by the Notified Body’s risk assessment, depending upon size 
of the Manufacturer’s organisation,  extent of certified scope and activity levels.  
If the result of the monitoring assessments is satisfactory the Manufacturer’s 
Quality Assurance Certificate remains valid. If any non -conformities  found 
cannot be cleared within a reasonable time, the Notif ied Body may withdraw or 
suspend the Manufacturer’s Quality Assurance Certificate.  
5.2. No more than 2 months before the end of the three year period of certificate validity, the quality system must be fully re -assessed by the Notified Body. If the 
result of the re -assessment is satisfactory the certificate will be extended by 
three years from the original expiry date.  
5.3. The Notified Body shall inform the manufacturer of their plans for undertaking future surveillance and re -assessment visits for the purpose of assessing the 
continued competence of the installer.   
5.4. The Notified Body may additionally conduct unscheduled sur veillance activities 
in the event of reports of complaint, non- conformity  or other failings which 
indicate the quality assurance system is not ensuring continued conformity to type.   
5.5. Following each assessment visit, the Notified Body will produce, normally within 
two weeks of the visit, a report containing details of their ass essment activities, 
findings, conclusions and reasoned assessment decision.  Without prejudice to its obligations to the Notifying Authority, the Notified Body shall only release the content of such reports to 3rd parties, in full or in part, with the agre ement of 
the Manufacturer or Installer.  
5.6. For all assessment and surveillance visits the auditing team shall have at least one member with experience of assessment in the lift technology concerned 
and knowledge of the essential health and safety requirements  set out in Annex 
I and in relevant standards.  
5.7. Where the Notified Body assessments confirm that the installer is competent to 
make installations which meet the requirements of the Gulf Technical Regulations in force that apply to the concerned Passenger Li fts and Lift Safety 
Components, the Notified Body shall issue a Notified Body GC Certificate of Passenger Lift Installer Competence to the relevant economic operator.

  6.1. The GC Certificate of Passenger Lift Installer Competence shall follow the model 
form shown in Annex ???  
6.2. The Notified Body shall issue the Installer with a GCTS symbol which the installer must include on each GC Installer’s  Declaration of Conformity for a Passenger 
Lift installation they issue.   
 
7. Installer’s duties  
7.1. The Installer shall es tablish and implement a Quality Assurance System to ensure 
compliance of installed Passenger Lifts with the applicable essential health and safety 
requirements set out in Annex  I and relevant published standards.  They shall employ 
competent staff and use  suitable equipment. These procedures shall be maintained so 
that they remain adequate and efficient.  
7.2. All the elements, requirements and provisions adopted by the Installer shall be documented in a systematic and orderly manner in the form of written polic ies, 
procedures and instructions. The quality assurance system documentation shall permit 
a consistent interpretation of the quality programmes, plans, manuals and records.  The 
quality assurance system shall contain in particular an adequate description o f:
