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.
