The UK Building Safety Act received Royal Assent in 2022, aiming to completely reform the UK's building safety regulatory system and prevent tragedies like the Grenfell Tower fire from happening again. For the elevator industry, the main impacts include:

1) Established the building safety responsible person system, requiring each high-rise building to designate a building safety responsible person who is fully responsible for the safe operation of the building;

2) Required the establishment of a "Golden Thread" digital archive, recording all safety-related information of the building from design, construction to demolition, including elevator design, installation, maintenance, and retrofit records;

3) Elevator manufacturers must provide product safety information support for at least 30 years;

4) Strengthened supervision of elevator maintenance and inspection, requiring maintenance companies to have higher qualifications and capabilities;

5) Individuals who violate the act will face up to 2 years in prison and unlimited fines, and companies will face fines of up to 10% of global annual turnover.
