Introduction: Why Certifications Matter for Your Home Elevator
Quality and safety should never be an option when selecting a home lift or elevator. In Europe, where the guidelines and parameters for lifts are stringent, the responsibility to protect owners and their families is paramount.
That’s why the certifications CE and TÜV aren’t just talking points like experts in the industry—they’re a stamp of approval from an independent expert that the product has been tested, passed, and goes beyond, designed to last.
For European homeowners, this is a big deal, showing that you’re getting a home lift or elevator that you can trust as safe and reliable.
In this blog, we will cover what these certifications mean, why they are important, and how Nibav lifts meet and exceed these standards to keep your home (and your family) safe each and every day.
What Does CE Certification Mean?
If you’ve purchased electronics, appliances, or even elevators in Europe, you may have seen the CE mark. But what is it? CE is Conformité Européenne or “European Conformity.” It is the certification that shows a product meets the requirements for strict safety, health, and environmental standards in the European Union.
For home elevators, this is a big deal. The CE mark tells you that the lift:
- Has passed rigorous safety tests
- Meets European regulations for electrical and mechanical safety
- It is designed to protect users, installers, and the environment
Simply put, if your elevator has the CE mark, it’s legally allowed to be sold and used throughout Europe—and you can trust it’s been built to a very high standard.
For Nibav, having CE-certified lifts means we deliver products that align with Europe’s toughest safety rules, so you can feel confident every time you step in.
TÜV SUD Certification: The Extra Layer of Safety
The CE mark is important in showing that a product meets European standards, but TÜV certification demonstrates a commitment to safety and quality, even in products that carry a CE mark.
TÜV (short for Technischer Überwachungsverein, or Technical Inspection Association) is an independent testing agency that is based in Germany and is well-established across Europe and beyond for testing products under some of the toughest and most accurate safety and quality measures.
For home elevators, TÜV certification means:
- Your lift has been thoroughly tested by experts outside the manufacturer
- It meets or exceeds strict performance and safety standards
- The product undergoes regular inspections to maintain these standards over time
In other words, TÜV certification is like having a trusted safety inspector constantly watching over your elevator’s quality. It’s reassurance that your lift isn’t just compliant—it’s exceptional.
Nibav’s TÜV-certified lifts give Dutch homeowners peace of mind, knowing they’re using a product that’s been independently verified to keep families safe and homes secure.
