Lift inspections and statutory testing
An inspection report is the beginning, not the end. I help owners and managers assess the findings, organise the follow-up and keep an overview.
Approach
From inspection report to action
An inspection report can contain technical detail that is not immediately clear to everyone. I translate the findings into concrete actions.
- 01Assessing inspection reports
- 02Listing failure points and points of attention
- 03Determining the next steps
- 04Coordinating with maintenance companies
- 05Assessing the solutions proposed
- 06Monitoring the work through to completion
In detail
Looking at solutions independently
After a failed inspection, a maintenance company may propose a solution. I can assess independently which solution is technically appropriate and what it means for cost and service life.
Inspection, maintenance and administration together
A recurring inspection finding can signal a structural problem. Looking at inspections, maintenance and technical condition together gives a better picture of what is actually needed.
Independent advice
HERMAT is not an inspection body, a lift supplier or a maintenance company. My role is that of independent adviser. I plan and coordinate the statutory periodic inspections and follow up the findings, in the Netherlands and in Belgium.
Outcome
What do you get out of it?
- An overview
- Proper follow-up
- An independent assessment
- Control over the work and the costs
- Structured lift administration
Frequently asked questions
About inspections and statutory testing
The owner or manager of the installation is responsible for having the statutory inspections carried out on time and for following up the findings. The inspection itself is carried out by a designated inspection body. HERMAT is not an inspection body, but supports you with the planning, the assessment and the follow-up.
The points identified have to be put right and reassessed. The maintenance company will often propose a solution. I assess whether that solution is technically appropriate, whether there are alternatives and what the consequences are for cost and service life.
No. An inspection tests whether the installation meets statutory safety requirements at the moment of inspection. A baseline survey to NEN 2767 assesses the technical condition and the maintenance needs to come. A lift can pass its inspection and still have deteriorated sharply.
Yes. Planning, coordinating and following up statutory periodic inspections is a standard part of full lift management. You then keep a single point of contact for inspection bodies and maintenance providers.

Put the report and the proposed solution in front of me. I am happy to look at it with you.
