Emergency telephone lifts standards

Memco’s Memcom elevator
emergency telephone has achieved
certification by the TÃœV AUSTRIA
Group. One of Europe’s leading
certification bodies, the TÃœV
AUSTRIA Group is a fully
independent institution providing
testing, accreditations and
certifications to companies from
across Europe. Its certifications are
recognised worldwide as being of
the highest standard.

The Memcom was tested in
collaboration with the ÖWD, the
largest service centre for elevator
emergency calls in Austria. As
part of the certification process
Memco’s ETR software was
installed to monitor EN81-28 test
calls and technical calls to check
the battery, microphone and
loudspeaker. Pressing the emergency
button in the elevator cabin automatically
connected the phone to the
ÖWD service centre. A pre-recorded
location message then identified the
elevator location, allowing the call
handler to effect a rescue.
