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.
