During the first half of 2021, ETSI published a document of great relevance to the lift industry, namely the Technical Specification TS 103.735 "Smart Lift IoT System" (March 2021). The document is an evolution of the previous Technical Report TR 103.546 on Smart Lifts (April 2020), and aims to lay a solid foundation for a possible future European standard on the subject.
The TS text is SME-friendly, which is great news for European SMEs that are increasingly working with the digital world and IoT in their daily activities. This important result was achieved also thanks to the role of rapporteur of the EFESME and SBS expert involved, Mr. Marco Cogliati, whose active participation ensured a favourable text for the SMEs he represents.
Considering the role that this TS will play in the development of a European standard, the participation of an SME expert in the writing of the TS is certainly very positive in order to make the future standard as SME-friendly as possible.
