四川为电梯安全立法 破解“量大面广”的监管痛点

Core Viewpoint - The implementation of the "Sichuan Province Elevator Safety Regulations" marks a new phase of legal and standardized management for elevator safety in the province, focusing on maintenance, installation in existing residential buildings, and smart supervision of elevators [1]. Group 1: Legislative Framework - The regulations will officially take effect on May 1 of the following year and aim to enhance the management of the entire lifecycle of elevators, including production, operation, maintenance, and inspection [1]. - The current number of elevators in Sichuan Province is 566,000, with 3,949 special equipment safety inspectors, highlighting a significant human-resource challenge in managing the large number of devices [1]. Group 2: Smart Supervision System - The regulations mandate the establishment of a unified smart supervision system for elevators, which will include features such as risk profiling, on-demand maintenance, inspection, smart rescue, and a unified code for information access [1]. - This system aims to address the regulatory challenges posed by the disparity between the number of elevators and available personnel, thereby improving the quality and effectiveness of elevator safety supervision [1]. Group 3: Emergency Response and Insurance - The regulations introduce a comprehensive elevator safety insurance system to encourage stakeholders, including manufacturers and owners, to insure their elevators, leveraging small premiums for substantial coverage [2]. - An emergency rescue chapter is included in the regulations, which integrates elevator emergency rescue into the broader emergency response system, requiring management units to develop emergency plans and conduct regular drills [2].
