A new regulation in Abu Dhabi requires owners of buildings and commercial establishments to maintain an approved lift maintenance contract or face a fine of Dh5,000, according to the Abu Dhabi Civil Defence Authority. This rule, part of the UAE's civil defence regulations, aims to protect building occupants by ensuring lifts are in proper working order.
The requirement does not apply to standalone private homes. Regular lift maintenance helps identify potential safety hazards before they become serious issues. The authority emphasizes that this regulation is a crucial preventive measure to enhance building safety and minimize casualties in emergencies.
