What must be ensured regarding the elevator door when testing functionality?

Ensuring that the elevator door opens and closes completely without obstruction is crucial for safety and functionality. This aspect is imperative because any obstruction can lead to malfunction or pose safety hazards during operation, such as trapping users or causing damage to the door mechanism. A fully functioning door must travel its designated path without interruption to ensure smooth operation and user safety.

While it is also important for the door to match design standards, be painted correctly, and operate quietly, these factors do not directly impact the immediate functionality of the door in terms of safe and effective operation during usage. Therefore, the main focus during functionality testing is confirming that the door's movement is unobstructed and complete.
