The Lift Inspectors Association of South Africa was established by a group of seasoned individuals in the lift industry in an effort to create an appropriate forum to discuss and regulate critical and controversial issues, as well as provide a pillar of support to fellow colleagues. Since its establishment, LIASA has matured into an influential organisation duly recognised by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) as a "Category A" Voluntary Association. Through effective communication, periodic meetings and constructive discussions, the members are able to create new strategies of understanding and enhancing the standards that govern the industry. The combined expertise and decades of experience offered by the members forms an integral source of motivation to emerging Lift Inspectors and support to the various governing bodies.

2. The contact details for Regional DOL offices is accessed via a link on the main LINKS page.

3. All LIASA accredited courses and seminars have now been uploaded on the ECSA CPD website. Members who need to update their CPD activities should now have no problem obtaining points for their associated attendance or participation.

4. After repeated requests for members to forward their DOL exemption letters to us, we have only received a handful. Since neither DOL nor SANAS is willing to furnish us with a comprehensive list of exempt/accredited Inspection Bodies, we intend publishing a list of exempt Inspection Bodies by 30th April 2013. The published list will be based on voluntary submission and is intended as a support service to those intending to engage the services of an Inspection Body.

5. It has come to our attention that "Annexure B" certificates are still being issued by persons/companies who are not in possession of the DOL exemption letter. Please note that as of 1 December 2012, only certificates issued by exempt/accredited Inspection Bodies are valid and legal. The associated paperwork must bear the details of the exempt Inspection Body. Certificates issued by Registered lift Inspectors in their capacity as a "Registered Person", are not recognized. If an RLI is a technical signatory for an Inspection Body (or is contracted in to perform work for an Inspection Body) the certificates must still be issued by (and bear all the details of) the exempt/accredited Inspection Body. Further, each certificate must be associated with a checklist  (record of raw data) which must be furnished upon request to a client, DOL or SANAS (during the accreditation process).
