The exciting agenda of top lectures and discussions covered topics such as the lift restoration, fire protection, Green Building and not least safety. TUV AUSTRIA boasts an impressive record in all matters lift technology and inspection: more than 77.000 facilities were reviewed in the last year, 75.000 of which were lifts, 1.500 escalators. More than two thirds of all lifts in Austria are equipped with an emergency call system; Vienna is the best equipped federal state (%94), followed by Lower Austria (62%) and Burgenland (55%).
