Security and efficiency for property managers

Whether passenger lifts, goods lifts or paternoster lifts – lifts are an indispensable part of modern buildings. As an operator, you bear responsibility – for the safety of your users and for compliance with legal requirements. Your lifts must operate reliably and safely.

As an authorised inspection body (ZÜS) and a notified body, TÜV NORD inspects your lift systems, drawing on over 150 years’ experience – from commissioning through to periodic inspections. Our experts are also on hand to assist promptly in the event of damage, modernisation or modifications.

With digital solutions such as electronic inspection certificates via QR code, comprehensive risk analyses and clear recommendations for action, we ensure maximum transparency and safety – and help you to fulfil your legal obligations efficiently.

A third of all building fires are caused by faults in electrical installations. As the operator, you bear responsibility – for safety, availability and insurance cover.

In retail premises, hospitals, high-rise buildings or places of assembly, safety systems must not only be in working order but also be inspected in accordance with the law. After all, every second counts in an emergency.

TÜV NORD carries out the necessary inspections of your safety systems in accordance with the requirements of the relevant regional building regulations – from the initial inspection prior to commissioning through to regular follow-up inspections. These include, amongst others, fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, ventilation systems, CO warning systems and smoke and heat extraction systems.

Our experts, who are recognised under building regulations, will guide you through every stage – from the planning phase, through inspections during construction, to functional testing. This ensures you fulfil your operator obligations in a legally compliant manner and safeguard people, property and infrastructure.

Playgrounds are meant to be fun for children – but only if they are safe. As the operator, you are responsible for the safety of the children playing there.

Whether public buildings, commercial properties or residential properties, new builds or existing buildings: properties require a sound structural framework and building services that function reliably.

Decisions regarding the construction, operation, purchase or sale of buildings almost always involve significant investment.

The experts at TÜV NORD carry out quality control throughout the construction process, identify construction defects and assess the value of properties. We also advise you on the purchase of properties and support you in carrying out refurbishment work.
