1. A method for maintenance of an elevator component, the method comprising the steps of:
associating an electronic information plate with an elevator component;
installing the elevator component with the associated electronic information plate;
reading the electronic information plate, wherein the electronic information plate is configured to store information of the elevator component, wherein the information comprises at least one threshold value associated with an action;
transmitting the content of the read electronic information;
comparing the at least one threshold value with elevator counters;
detecting as a result of said comparison if the electronic component has exceeded at least one of the threshold values; and
launching the action associated with the respective threshold value,
wherein the method further comprises the steps of:
counting a threshold value in number of operation cycles; and
counting a threshold value life cycle as a time interval.
