Beijing Municipal Planning Commission: elevators are necessary to newly-built or rebuilt residential buildings with more than 4 floors

The Beijing Municipal Planning Commission has issued a notice on 12th March that from the first day of this month, senior-oriented design is necessary to newly-built or rebuilt residential buildings with more than 4 floors.

The reason why the original seven-floor-building-must-have-elevator has changed to the current regulation is undeniable associated with the present fact that Beijing has entered the aging society. The notice also detailed provisions of the elevator position on lower floors, call buttons, voice announcer, handrails and other requested details.

Moreover, Beijing Municipal Planning Commission required elevator description, position to be shown in the design specification, with call systems and handrail details also. In the duration of the planning department examining and approving, senior-oriented design will be reviewed, and if this part failed, the design would be modified or terminated.
