Purpose and Procedure for Drafting the Document
What Is an Elevator Commissioning Report?
An elevator commissioning report documents the formal acceptance of a new elevator installation. It includes identification of the elevator, details of the commissioning process, results of safety system tests, and the final acceptance decision.
Who Uses This Report?
Commissioning engineers, building owners, and elevator installers use this report to verify that the elevator meets all safety and performance requirements before it is put into service.
Key Sections of the Report
The report includes sections for object identification, commissioning details, safety system tests, conclusions, and signatures. Each section captures essential information for a complete commissioning record.
New Elevator Installations
After a new elevator is installed, a commissioning report is required to formally accept the installation. This template documents all tests and results needed for acceptance.
Modernization Projects
When an existing elevator is modernized with new components or safety systems, a commissioning report verifies that the updated system operates correctly.
Regulatory Compliance
Many jurisdictions require a commissioning report before an elevator can be used. This document provides evidence that the installation meets applicable codes and standards.
Handover to Building Owner
The commissioning report serves as a formal handover document from the installer to the building owner. It records the condition and performance of the elevator at the time of acceptance.
- 1
Pre-Commissioning Checks
Before testing, verify that the elevator installation is complete and all components are properly connected. Check that safety devices are in place and accessible.
- 2
Functional Tests
Test each safety device individually, including overspeed governor, safety gear, emergency brakes, and door interlocks. Record the result for each device.
- 3
Performance Tests
Conduct performance tests such as load testing, travel speed, and leveling accuracy. Document the results and any deviations from specifications.
- 4
Documentation and Acceptance
Complete the report with the acceptance status and any remarks. Obtain signatures from the commissioning engineer and building owner to finalize the commissioning.
Photo Report Generator
Use the photo report generator to add visual evidence of the installation and test setups. Capture photos of safety devices, control panels, and overall installation for a complete record.

Frequently Asked Questions about Photo Reports and Photo Tables
What is an elevator commissioning report?
An elevator commissioning report is a formal document that records the acceptance of a new elevator installation. It includes details of the elevator, results of safety system tests, and the final acceptance decision.
Who performs the commissioning?
A commissioning engineer, typically from the elevator manufacturer or a qualified third party, performs the commissioning. The building owner or their representative also participates in the acceptance.
What safety devices are tested?
Safety devices tested include the overspeed governor, safety gear, emergency brakes, door interlocks, and any other devices required by the applicable code. Each device is tested for proper operation.
What is the acceptance status?
The acceptance status can be 'Accepted', 'Conditionally Accepted', or 'Rejected'. If conditionally accepted, remarks explain the conditions that must be met before full acceptance.
Can I use this template for modernization projects?
Yes, this template can be adapted for modernization projects where existing elevators are upgraded. It documents the tests and acceptance of the new or modified systems.
