Liftinstituut is a very experienced certification body focused on elevators and escalators. The company is big in certifications according to performance based safety in Europe and Middle East. To expend their market opportunities Liftinstituut has been looking for accreditation possibilities in North America. In March 2009 Liftinstituut was accredited for their performance based safety for elevators and escalators under the Accredited Elevator/Escalator Certification Organizations (AECO) Program by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to evaluate and certify elevators and escalator systems, subsystems, components and functions against the guidelines of AME A17.7/CSA B44.7.
