Elevator Periodic Inspection


RoyalCert provides statutory periodic inspection services for passenger lifts, goods lifts, and all types of elevator equipment. Our qualified inspection engineers conduct thorough assessments in accordance with applicable Ugandan regulations and international standards, ensuring that your elevator equipment is safe for continued use and compliant with all relevant requirements.

Periodic inspection of lifts is a mandatory legal requirement for building owners, property managers and facility operators in Uganda. Failure to comply with periodic inspection requirements can result in regulatory penalties, insurance invalidation and — most critically — risk to the safety of passengers and workers.
