The SAE security 2003 Act, which imposes three slices of work of security before 2018 (read here), has become a real puzzle for the co-owners. The approach of the first period, end of 2010, the French Park is still far standards. 20 Elevators had not undergone the necessary work at the end of September, according to the Federation of the elevators.
"The work has been done quickly in buildings that have a single decision-maker, as for example a company or a housing agency", said Alexis Salmon-Legagneur, President of the Federation of elevators and CEO of Schindler in France. But for condominiums, it is another pair of sleeves. This controversial Act raises debates often turn to the rat race. ARC (Association of managers of condominiums) denounced abuses at the level of prices. If the Federation calculates an average cost of 20,000 euros by building, the association of co-owners estimated costs is implemented in a range of 20,000 to 50,000 euros. The UFC-Que choose, which was addressed on the subject in 2008, had an estimate of 22,000 euros by lift, "is double what was planned in the voting of the law." For the association of consumers, this inflation comes from a lack of competition in a market largely dominated by four major players: Otis, ThyssenKrupp, Schindler and Koné. And the overload of work related to implementing the standards of the machines, has arranged nothing: wait time between the command and the realization of the work achieved times a year. Modernization, which accounted for EUR 200 million in sales for manufacturers of elevators in France in 2004, now reports them between 500 and 600 million euros.
Condominiums are also faced with difficulties to decipher the often technical specifications and to distinguish mandatory nature of those optional spending. On this point, the elevator manufacturers have made progress since 2003, since specifications now clearly indicate what remedies imposed by the Act. But contentious issues remain, particularly on the installation of the variable frequency drive. This equipment worth thousands of euros, is indispensable, based on the bseiu, to reduce the level of judgment, i.e. the gap between the floor and the elevator less than 2 cm. The ARC, on the other hand, defends that a simple adjustment might be sufficient. To be advised, the co-owners may appeal to a research firm, however with a high commission.
Battle of figures
On the evolution of the number of failure and accidents, the various pressure groups are engaged in a battle of numbers. If lifts Federation attributed the recent decrease serious accidents modernization carried out in recent years, the association of co-owners reverse reasoning: as incidents take place most of the time with technicians, the safety of park development, by increasing the number of interventions, contribute instead to an increase in risk.
The Housing Ministry follows closely the subject. It was decided at a meeting in the Ministry the week last to condominiums to more easily terminate their contract with their ascensoriste. Another topic of discussion: the possible postponement of the next two deadlines, 2013 and 2018. The Federation of elevators militates against: "We want stability in the legislative framework." "Otherwise, it may be confusing, as in 2009", justifies Alexis Salmon-Legagneur. Questioned on the subject in Parliament, Secretary of State Benoist Apparu replied that he wanted to wait until the end of 2010 to make a point on the progress of the work and then decide to give or to time owners. According to statistics of the Federation of the elevators, the part of the Park who have had work for the next two deadlines did that very little progress since the beginning of the year: 40 for 2013, and 17 for 2018 at the end of September.
