On November 18, 2024, the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment, together with Standards Norway, officially issued the Mandatory Management Specification for Elevator Energy Efficiency, which comprehensively upgraded the energy efficiency control, energy-saving transformation and green certification of elevators in Norway. The core contents include: First, clarify the classification standard of elevator energy efficiency grades, align with the latest EU elevator energy efficiency standards, and divide elevator energy efficiency into six grades: A+++, A++, A+, A, B, C, among which A+++ is the highest energy efficiency grade. Second, formulate mandatory energy efficiency requirements for newly installed elevators, clarifying that from May 1, 2025, all newly installed elevators in Norway must reach the highest energy efficiency grade of A+++, and elevators that do not meet the standards are prohibited from being installed, sold and used. Third, clarify the energy-saving transformation requirements for existing elevators, requiring that in-use elevators with a service life of more than 10 years must complete energy-saving transformation before 2030, with the energy efficiency grade reaching A+ and above, and elevators that do not meet the standards are not allowed to continue operation. Fourth, establish a mandatory certification system for elevator energy efficiency. All elevators must obtain the official energy efficiency certification of Norway, and the energy efficiency grade mark must be posted in a prominent position in the car to accept public supervision. Fifth, supporting energy-saving incentive policies, giving tax relief, financial subsidies and other incentives to elevator user units that complete energy-saving transformation in advance. Sixth, strengthen supervision and punishment measures. For elevators that do not meet the energy efficiency requirements, they will face an administrative fine of up to 100,000 Norwegian kroner, and continuous violations will be subject to superimposed penalties. The specification has a 6-month transition period and was officially implemented on May 18, 2025.
