From 22 Dec 2025, every new lift, every safety component, and every major modernisation must comply — or face penalties, rejected occupancy certificates, and insurance voids.
Navigating the IS 17900 Challenge: Elevate Your Lifts to World-Class Safety Standards
Whether you’re a developer, lift installer, lift safety component manufacturer, facility manager, RWA, metro/airport authority, CPWD/PWD, Smart City project or commercial complex owner — this deadline affects you directly.
The Real Challenges Holding You Back
The transition from the outdated and withdrawn IS 14665 and related IS standards to new IS 17900 is a major shift that is causing roadblocks at every turn:
- Confusion in Transition: Switching from IS 14665 and related IS standards complexities to IS 17900 leads to compliance missteps.
- Regulatory Overlaps: State lift rules sometimes conflict with national standards, risking penalties, delays, or occupancy rejections.
- Documentation Delays: Incomplete technical files and missing certificates halt completion of inspections.
- Talent and Resource Shortages: Critical lack of accredited third-party bodies, well trained inspectors, and certified labs for type-testing.
- Clarity Gaps: Vague regulations heighten uncertainty.
Failure to comply with the new rules jeopardizes public safety, liability, and insurance validity (many require third-party certification).
