The car lift belongs to the European Union compulsory certification of dangerous machinery. Automobile elevator CE certification is based on the following instructions: Machinery Directive 98/37/ECM achinery Directive 73/23/EEC Low voltage Equipment Directive. In Annex IV of the EU Machinery Directive Directive98/37/EC-Machinerysafety, Vehiclelifts are classified as category 15 dangerous machinery.
Its certification is based on the specific standard EN1493:1999. This standard on July 10, 1998 by the European committee for standardization (CEN - theEuropeanCommitteeforStandardization) for approval. Standard EN1493, a total of 55 pages, describes in detail the design of automotive lifts, mechanical and electrical, hydraulic system safety requirements, structural stress calculation requirements.
Common car lifts have two columns, four columns, shear type three, can be combined to apply for series certification, reduce the cost of repeated applications, each series needs to prepare a prototype in accordance with the requirements of the European Union standard, for the EU authorized certification body engineers to do type inspection.
