ASME A17.1-CSA B44 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators 2013
ASME A17.1-CSA B44 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators 2013 is written by a committee of technically qualified persons with a concern and competence in the subject within the Committee’s scope and a willingness to participate in the work of the Committee. The ASME A17 Standards Committee is restricted to a maxi-mum of 35 members of which no more than one-third can be from any single interest category. This requirement serves to assure balance in the consensus process. In addition, there are over 300 members serving on the Regulatory Advisory Council, National Interest Review Group, Technical Committees, Administrative Committees, and Ad Hoc Committees. Technical revisions to ASME A17.1/CSA B44 also submitted to the CSA B44 Technical Committee for their concurrence.

The ASME A17.1, Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators, and CSA B44, Safety Code for Elevators, are the accepted guide for the design, construction, installation, operation, inspection, testing, maintenance, alteration, and repair of elevators, dumbwaiters, escalators, moving walks, material lifts, and dumbwaiters with automatic transfer devices. It is the basis in total or in part for the elevator codes used throughout the United States and Canada. The ASME A17.1/CSA B44 Code only a guide unless adopted as law or regulation by the authority having jurisdiction. Local jurisdictions may, in their adopting legislation, occasionally revise and/or include requirements in addition to those found in the ASME A17.1/CSA B44 Code. It is therefore advisable to check with the local jurisdiction before applying code requirements in any area. Requirement 1.1.2 outlines examples of equipment not covered by the ASME A17.1/CSA B44 Code.
