On November 20, 2024, the Ministry of Climate and Environment of Norway, together with the Norwegian Standards Association, officially issued the Mandatory Management Specification for Elevator Energy Efficiency and Carbon Neutrality, which comprehensively upgraded the carbon footprint control, energy-saving transformation and green certification of elevators in Norway. The core contents include: First, formulate mandatory carbon neutrality requirements for newly installed elevators. From May 1, 2025, all newly installed elevators in Norway must complete the whole life cycle carbon footprint accounting, obtain official carbon neutrality certification, and the accounting data must be completely traceable. Elevators that do not meet the standards are prohibited from being installed, sold and used. Second, clarify the mandatory energy efficiency standards for newly installed elevators. All newly installed elevators must reach the highest EU energy efficiency grade of A+++, and meet the Norwegian green building standards, giving priority to renewable energy power supply adaptation technology. 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 the carbon emission intensity reduced by more than 40%. Elevators that do not meet the standards are not allowed to continue operation. Fourth, supporting incentive policies, giving a maximum financial subsidy of 45% and tax relief to elevator user units that complete energy-saving transformation in advance and obtain carbon neutrality certification. Fifth, strengthen supervision and punishment measures. For elevators that do not meet the carbon footprint and energy efficiency requirements, they will face an administrative fine of up to 50,000 euros, and continuous violations will be subject to superimposed penalties. Sixth, standardize the management of elevator green labels, requiring all elevators to publicize the energy efficiency grade, carbon footprint information and carbon neutrality certification status in a prominent position in the car, and accept public supervision. The new regulation has a 6-month transition period and was officially implemented on May 20, 2025.
