To Franz:

Dear Chairman Luo Chongning, industry colleagues, and media friends: Good afternoon!

On behalf of TÜV Rheinland, I am honored to present the EU Machinery Directive EC Type-Examination Certificate for the FP-S commercial platform ladder to Suzhou Franz Intelligent Elevator Co., Ltd. at the international stage of the Chengdu Elevator Exhibition. What we are witnessing together at this moment is not just a piece of certification, but also a milestone in the strategic cooperation between Chinese and German companies, driven by safety and innovation.

Since its founding in Cologne in 1872, TÜV Rheinland has ingrained "never compromise on safety" into its DNA. Today, this 153-year legacy of professionalism resonates strongly with Suzhou Franz's fusion of "German craftsmanship and Chinese intelligent manufacturing." During this certification process, I was deeply impressed by Suzhou Franz's safety management system, encompassing everything from component traceability to complete machine performance. This perfectly demonstrates our shared belief that "safety and quality are not standards, but the bottom line."

The FP-S home platform ladder has received the highest EU certification standards, demonstrating that the Chinese elevator industry is now capable of competing with top international brands. I am particularly touched by the Franz team's dedication to ensuring "every safe lift for our customers"—a commitment that aligns perfectly with TÜV Rheinland's philosophy.

Finally, let me quote TÜV Rheinland's slogan: "Guarding the advancement of human technology." I look forward to continuing our partnership with Franz, using technology to respect life and expertise to protect the lives of countless people!

Thank you!

"The receipt of the Machinery Directive EC Type-examination certificate from TÜV Rheinland demonstrates that the FP-S commercial platform ladder fully complies with relevant EU standards and stringent requirements in terms of safety and quality."Mr. Luo Chongning, Chairman of Suzhou Franz Intelligent Elevator Co., Ltd., said in his speech, "This is not only an authoritative recognition of Suzhou Franz's technological strength and superior quality, but also provides key qualifications for us to further expand into the international market. Going forward, we will continue to deepen our cooperation with TÜV Rheinland, drive product upgrades with innovation, set a quality benchmark for the elevator industry, and provide global users with safer and smarter vertical transportation solutions."
