7. ASME/CSA Code Activities

(a) A17 Code Coordination Committee – Kevin Brinkman

Background: The A17 Code Coordination Committee reviews coordination issues between the A17.1/B44 code and other codes impacting elevators. They meet three times a year via teleconference. Current discussion items include: • Transfer of Emergency power in high rise applications • IECC Requirement C405.9.2 for escalators • Emergency doors for outside elevators • A17 Code Coordination Matrix • Outdoor elevators and escalators. • IEBC Requirement 305.8.2 Alterations for existing elevators Discussion: The committee is scheduled to meet via teleconference on March 20. The updated Matrix comparing code requirements in the 2016 edition of ASME

A17.1/CSA B44 to the requirements in the 2018 IBC and NFPA 5000 is available on the NEII website.

(b) Two-Way Video Communications

Background: Technical requirements were approved and will appear in the 2019 edition of A17.1/B44. This item remains on the agenda to allow further discussion on other options to provide commentary on design and function (such as a non-mandatory appendix, A17.1/B44 Handbook, position paper or guidelines in NEII-1). John Carlson agreed to draft some comments.

Discussion: John Carlson provided an update. He raised a question regarding A117.1 language on letter height for messages. A recommendation was made to add new language to A117.1 for two way communication lettering (based on 707.7.2) since it does not need to be as large because the person will be right in front of the screen. The committee also discussed other options since the next edition of A117.1 will not be published for several years. John agreed to draft some language for A17.1 and A117.1 for review. Bruce and Kevin agreed to draft a position paper. Appendix E will also need to be reviewed.

(c) Remote Interaction (Attachment #1)

Background: There is an ASME Electrical committee task group set up to discuss remote interaction and other software topics. The committee agreed to support remote interaction with the proper precautions to address the concerns identified (i.e. cyber security) and provided it does not impact the current allowance for the use of remote monitoring. At the previous meeting, the committee agreed to set up a task group to write an initial strawman and prepare talking points for next ASME task group meeting and review at this meeting. Discussion: Barry Blackaby provided an update. Vince volunteered to lead the ASME task group since Barry is retiring. A smaller NEII task group will work on the strawman proposal to take to ASME. The NEII group agreed to meet May the afternoon of May 8 and morning of May 10 in Phoenix during code week. The group will include Blackaby, Robibero, McColl, Carlson, Henderson, Kalgren, Horne, and Brinkman). Other company members are welcome. The group agreed that the focus should be on interaction versus intervention.

(d) ASME A17.3

1) Adoption Background: The committee previously agreed to create a task group to look at ideas to improve safety of existing elevators. Vince Robibero agreed to lead the group. Bruce and Phil agreed to participate and suggestion was made to ask Scott Hultstrom, Richard Baxter, and Doug LeBrecque from the ASME Existing Installations committee to participate.

The task group agreed to explore options for enhancing the safety of existing elevators. The following topics will be considered:

• Potential additions to 8.6. • Develop a list of priorities for items that need to be updated on existing

elevator • Develop a white paper to educate jurisdiction that they can adopt A17.3

as a whole with a phased in implementation program. • Consider whether we want to suggest to ASME Existing Installations that

they consider restructuring A17.3 to phase in implementation. • Education strategy to let jurisdictions know the importance of upgrading

older equipment and possible implementation strategies • Add some requirements to Section 8.6 of A17.1/B44.

Discussion: Vince Robibero provided an update (see attached). General consensus is that A17.3 is not as effective as we would like it to be. One option is to add requirements in Section 8.6 of A17.1/B44 to require implementation, even if A17.3 is not adopted. Some jurisdictions have already done a phased in approach. The committee agreed to pursue this approach. The task group will update two proposals (door locks and UCM). Joe and Doug will work on door lock and how it ties into other sections. Vince and Bruce will work on UCM on automatic operation portion. They agreed to have drafts ready for the next meeting. The UCM proposal will focus on worker safety when entering pit or car top if do not take control of car. It was noted that the A17 Existing installations committee has Record 18-2462 open to look at ACO and UCM and Record 12-1823 to add monitoring of interlocks. May also want to look at brake monitoring or brake replacement.

2) Proposal on emergency brake (ASME Record 17-1091) Background: The committee briefly discussed a proposal being considered by the ASME Existing Installations committee. This item is for information only for this committee.

Discussion: Record 17-1091 is still going through the ASME review process.

(e) Pit screening (Attachment #2)

Background: Bruce Horne previously opened a discussion topic regarding the addition of screening between elevators in multiple hoistways to prevent workers from reaching into an adjoining elevator/counterweight path of travel. The committee also agreed to form joint task group with the FESC to discuss current best practices. Bruce, Phil and Denny or Scott Boucher will be on the task group along with Kevin Dix, Bob Rodriguez and possibly others from the FESC. This task group will develop a proposal for review by this committee and to be considered by the A17 Hoistway committee. Discussion: The committee held a brief discussion regarding pit separation versus guarding of the counterweight and other components. One concern with pit separation is how to handle walk in pits. The task group will continue to work on the proposal.

(f) Inquiry 17-1410 reconsideration – Doug Henderson Background: The committee previously discussed the approved responses to Inquiry 17-1410. The committee agreed that the answer to the first question should really be “This is not addressed by the code”. Discussion: After further discussion, the committee decided it may be better to submit a new inquiry starting with components of previous question 3. The new inquiry might prompt the committee to reopen the earlier inquiry and open a new record to clarify the requirement. Doug will develop a draft inquiry and a draft proposal for consideration at next CCC meeting.

(g) Testing of FAID by mechanics – Kevin Brinkman Background: Kevin previously reported that there is a new Record 18-2588 in the Inspections committee to require testing of FAID’s during a Cat 1 test. The committee agreed this is unnecessary. Committee members were encouraged to review this proposal carefully and comment as necessary during the ballot process. Discussion: The task group is still reviewing the proposal and comments received during the initial Review and Comment ballot. The committee agreed to continue to monitor. Testing of FAID’s is covered in NFPA 72 and is not needed in the elevator

code. It was noted that the newer addressable heads will not have the issues cited in the rationale for the change because they can self-diagnose so a head in the wrong location will be identified quickly. Bruce will email talking points Kevin to share with committee members.

8. Electrical Codes

(a) National Electric Code (NEC) Background: NFPA is in the code development process for the 2020 edition of NFPA 70 (NEC). NEII submitted seven proposals. Jeff Blain is the NEII representative on the NFPA committee. At the last CCC meeting, the committee discussed whether we need to get more involved in some of the other NEC code technical committees. Members were asked to review the list and provide feedback. Bruce Horne agreed to draft some language to change Table 400 with minimum wire size for cat 5 in travel cable to account for two way video communication.

Discussion: Jeff Blain was unable to call in due to a conflict but provided a brief update via email. The 2020 edition of NEC is mostly done unless there are appeals. All of the NEII proposals made it through. Jeff will share the draft with this committee for review when it is available.

(b) Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) Nothing new to report.

9. Building Code Activities

(a) International Code Council (ICC)

1) IBC: Kevin reported that all changes for Group A (which includes Chapter

30) are final and will be included in the 2021 edition. Group B changes, including those for IEBC and IECC will be addressed this year (see below).

2) IECC (Attachment #3): The current provisions in the IECC require regenerative

drives and variable speed on escalators in some applications where it may not be more efficient and they also restrict the technology used. The NEII task group (Brinkman, Robibero, Anayiotos, Mueller, Martel, and Winkelhake) developed a proposal that was discussed with the ICC SEHPCAC committee and submitted to ICC for the Group B cycle. The Group B hearings (April 28 to May 8) overlap

ASME code week. Kevin Brinkman will attend the hearings along with a company representative who is more versed in the details of the proposal.

3) IEBC (Attachment #4): Previously, the committee agreed to submit a proposal to

delete IEBC requirement 305.8.2 because of concerns that it is already addressed by A17.1/B44 and that it may not always be feasible for older units to comply with current A117 requirements. Kevin Brinkman will attend the Group B hearings to speak in favor of the proposal.

(b) National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)

1) NFPA 101/5000: Second draft meetings will be held the week of June 10

in Indianapolis. Kevin Brinkman and Marc Mueller plan to attend.

2) NFPA 80/105: Pre-first draft meetings are planned for April 24-25. Steve Reynolds plans to attend. These meetings will allow the committee to discuss any committee proposals they may want to submit for the next cycle.

(c) National Building Code of Canada (NBCC)

Background: Previously, the committee discussed whether we should request a change based on the interpretation issues in Richmond BC (proposal to be based on the current language in IBC 3007.9.1). The NBCC is considering changes to address possible conflict between NBCC and A17.1/B44. They are currently not planning to update to either 2013 or 2016 because they have not had time to vet them. Sheldon agreed to work on this item. Discussion: Nothing new to report.

10. Accessibility Issues

(a) ICC/ANSI A117.1 (Attachment #5) – Kevin Brinkman.

Background: The committee previously discussed two questions regarding the current language in ICC A117.1. One was regarding the mounting height for the communication system call button and the other was regarding the star symbol for elevators relative to 407.4.7.1.3. (See the minutes from the July 18-19, 2017 meeting for more detail.) Kevin Brinkman agreed to work with the inquirer, Gene Boeker, to include both proposals in the next round of changes for A117. The Committee discussed including the proposed changes to Appendix E as well.

Discussion: Nothing new to report. This item is on hold until the window for submitting proposals for the next edition of A117 is opened probably later this year. Kevin is continuing his work on the Scoping task group.

(b) ASME A17.1/CSA B44, Appendix E – David McColl

David reported that the ballot to the CSA B44 Technical committee did receive some comments which the Appendix E committee will need to address. A new ballot will follow to both CSA and ASME.

11. Energy Efficiency

(a) ASHRAE 90.1/189.1 – Joe Busse/Barry Blackaby. Background: The 2016 edition of ASHRAE 90.1 includes a requirement to include elevator energy efficiency ratings on elevator drawings. The ratings are based on those found in ISO 25745-2:2015. The ASHRAE 90.1 and 189.1 working groups would like to work on a proposal to include a minimum required rating in future editions. The CCC has formed a task group to work on energy efficiency and the possible addition of even more requirements to future editions of ASHRAE. Karen was also contacted by the EPA about the possibility of Energy Star ratings for elevators and escalators.

Discussion: Nothing new to report.

(b) Product Category Rules – Phil Hampton.

Background: Product Category Rules (PCR) for declaring life-cycle environmental impact of Lifts (elevators) have now been published in the International EPD® System. The committee agreed to keep this on the agenda as a reference item. Discussion: Nothing new to report. The item will remain on the agenda for reference.

(c) Regenerative Drives

The committee discussed a concern that there may be confusion about how to manage energy from regenerative drives. The committee agreed to draft an interpretation to clarify the requirements in 2.26.10. Bruce Horne agreed to take the lead to draft potential questions for group to review. Joe Busse agreed to help.

The goal will be to have a draft to review by March 29 so that a proposal can be submitted to the Electrical committee in time for their May meeting.

(d) CA Energy Certification CA has a new requirement from the CA Energy Commission to verify that no one is in the car for 15 minutes prior to shutting off the lights. It is not clear how to certify the system is acceptable. Agreed to request input from Amy and the GAC.

12. ISO Activities – David McColl & Vince Robibero.

Background: David and Vince are actively involved in ISO activities being undertaken by the US TAG to TC178. There are several working groups working on specific topics:

• WG2: Elevator guide rails • WG4: Prescriptive Code based on EN81-20 and 50. The new documents are ISO

8100-1, -2 and -3. ISO 8100-3 is description of the differences between the new ISO 8100-1 and -2 and the current ASME and Japanese codes.

• WG5: Escalator requirements including GESRs and SPs for escalators (these will be added to ASME A17.7/B44.7).

• WG6: Comparison of Firefighters elevators around the world and use of elevators for evacuation; Standard on “Elevatoring” (ISO 8100-32- recommendations for types and duties of elevator in building); ISO 4190-1 on common hoistway sizes for equipment (including MRL).

• WG8: Electrical standards and EMC. • WG10: Energy standards • WG11: Safety of existing elevators.

Discussion: The ISO Plenary meeting will be held April 3-4 in Frankfurt, Germany. Several of the working groups will be meeting prior to the Plenary as well as the GTBFT task group. One topic of discussion will be updating TS 8100-3 based on the 2019 A17.1/B44 code and to add hydraulic elevators. Task groups will also be working on updating risk assessment/conformity assessment and a new standard on traffic analysis. NEII will put in request for an ISO standard on cybersecurity. We expect a decision to create a separate working group to get more focused technical expertise. We will promote our guide as the basis for the standard. The committee also discussed NEII support of new ASME records to drive convergence based on the comparison in ISO 8100- 3. Proposals could be developed with the A17 Alignment task group. This should be part of this committee goals and objectives.

Alignment task group meeting during code week? In addition, we should continue to monitor any changes to 8100-1. The committee discuss the possibility of requesting resources to review Part 3 and develop ASME proposals to lead to convergence. Vince agreed to review Part 3 and create some talking points related to mechanical, electrical and hoistway requirements. We may be able to handle with internal company people and a project manager from NEII to coordinate.

13. Liaison Committee Reports

Background: The CCC previously held a general discussion about the value of NEII-1. Recommendations included making it more user friendly, updating to include MRL information as soon as possible, improving awareness, and creating a survey to get ideas from users. Vince agreed to draft some potential questions for a survey that could be distributed through our local people with help of the communications team. The committee also discussed whether a more descriptive name should be used instead of NEII-1.

(a) NEII® Performance Standards Committee

The Performance Standards Committee (PSC) maintains the performance guidelines in Building Transportation Standards and Guidelines, NEII® -1 that are provided on the NEII® website for the public to use. The committee met on October 9 in Mason, OH. The committee has updated several sections and worked on some new content that are ready for review by this committee (see below). They are also reviewing a request from CECA to expand the Elevator Performance Criteria for doors. Their next meeting is April 2, 2019 in Memphis, TN.

1) CECA Elevator Performance Criteria (Attachment #6)

Background: CECA has expressed interest in expanding the current information in NEII-1 Draft Performance Matrix New Elevators. The CCC was asked to review and provide feedback to the PSC committee.

2) Temporary Power Supply Confirmation Data Form (Attachment #7) 3) Electromagnetic Compatibility Guidelines - Reaffirm (Attachment #8)

Discussion: The committee discussed the PSC items above. The comments from Robibero and Kalgren will be added to the next PSC agenda for consideration.

http://www.neii.org/neii1.cfm

(b) NEII® Architectural Standards Committee The Architectural Standards Committee (ASC) is responsible for maintaining the architectural portions of Building Transportation Standards and Guidelines, NEII® -1 that are provided on the NEII® website for the public to use. The committee met on April 5 in Farmington, CT. The committee is continuing to work on a proposal for including MRL elevator dimensions. The committee has updated several sections and worked on some new content that are ready for review by this committee (see below). Their next meeting is April 3, 2019 in Memphis, TN.

1) FSAE draft proposal (Attachment #9) 2) Dumbwaiter (Attachment #10)

Discussion: The committee discussed the ASC items above. The comments from Robibero and Kalgren will be added to the next ASC agenda for consideration.

(c) NEII® Field Employee Safety Committee

The Field Employee Safety Committee (FESC) focuses on the safety of our employees. The committee met June 14, 2018 in Lisle, IL. The committee is continuing to work on confined space and hoistway access issues, as well coordination with the IUEC and OSHA. The next meeting is scheduled for November 15, 2018, in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Previously, a joint task group was created between the FESC and the CCC to consider some ideas to reduce potential hazards and minimize impact of bad behavior through changes to the elevator code. Members from this committee are Bruce Horne, Denny Kalgren and Phil Hampton. Kevin Brinkman will coordinate the group. The committee agreed to discuss safety messaging on Thursday during the joint meeting. 1) Partnering with OSHA on Safety Issues

Background: NEII is participating in an OSHA committee to review elevator worker safety. Karen Penafiel and Kevin Brinkman are participating in the group. Discussion: Kevin and Karen provided a brief update on the OSHA working groups.



2) IUEC and NEII Collaboration on Code Changes

Background: Previously, Corey Ward, FESC chair, attended an IUEC safety meeting. During the meeting the IUEC suggested collaboration between the IUEC and NEII for some code changes. The topics they suggested included:

• Pit Screening – The joint task group is developing a proposal. • Hoistway access at top and bottom landings for existing elevators – It was

noted that this would likely require a controller upgrade. There is an item open in the A17 Hoistway committee to consider requiring hoistway access on all new elevators regardless of speed.

• Pit ladders for existing unit – The committee felt that most elevators should already have pit ladders since it has been in the code for a number of years. It may not be worthwhile to add to A17.3 since it is not widely adopted.

• Limits on how high pit ladders can extend above the landing – The concern is that workers may stand on the rungs to reach higher while working on the elevator. Guarding of side counterweights – Guarding of side counterweights is also addressed to a degree but could be included with Pit screening (see Item 7e).

14. Other Business

(a) NFPA 13 (Attachment #11) – Lawrence Taylor/Vince Robibero

Background: Errata requests for 2010, 2013 and 2016 and a proposal to modify NFPA 13-2019 regarding sprinklers and fire rated suspension means in the hoistways were submitted to NFPA. The committee also agreed to prepare a proposal for A17.6 to coordinate changes within NFPA 13 regarding alternate suspension means (Denny and Bruce). The committee also previously discussed a proposal regarding sprinklers in the hoistway for all elevators. A letter was sent to the committee to share our concerns with this proposal, including the creation of a conflict with FSAE and OEO elevators which do not allow sprinklers in the hoistway. Discussion: Changes were initially approved but they did not get finalized because the whole section was pulled out by NFPA in response to a NITMAN. The changes will be submitted again for next cycle. 1) Proposal on Suspension Means

2) Sprinklers in Hoistways (b) Information requests

Background: Some jurisdictions have or may be considering a list of repairs or alterations that require permits and/or inspection. Nevada has asked NEII for a recommendation for a list. The committee discussed and decided to review the NEII policy on inspections to see if it could be updated to include a list and also address the permit issue. Amy, Dylan, Kevin will work with company representatives. Each company agreed to provide a person to participate. Discussion: It was noted that the Elevator Code does not dictate when a permit is needed, it is up to the AHJ. 1) TSSA list of items requiring permits (Attachment #12) - The Committee agreed

to review the list and make recommendations to create a generic list. 2) List of time spent in Hoistway - Amy has received data from one company.

When more data is received it will need to be reviewed to ensure comparisons are appropriate and to separate inspection, maintenance, repair and replacement. Data will be used to educate jurisdictions and about time spent in the hoistway for MRL and non-MRL products.

3) Data for NAVFAC - Similar to request above. Are the requirements and the time required for inspection maintenance and test different for MRL vs non-MRL? Any tasks changed from one man to two man.

4) MA Pre-inspection checklists – MA is considering implementation of a pre-inspection checklist to try to reduce the number of failed inspections/re-inspections. They are asking for input on the items to include on the list. We are waiting for the state to hold meetings to discuss.

.

(c) Cybersecurity Background: The committee previously discussed cybersecurity for elevators and escalators. A NEII task group was formed with Barry Blackaby as the chair. The task group was expanded to include company representatives from other countries take advantage of their expertise. The short term goal is to have a NEII guideline by end of this year to include procedures to log into/out of the machine room. The long term goal is to develop a standard possibly through ISO. Discussion: Barry Blackaby provided an update. He is incorporating the comments from Schindler. There is one table we may need to verify we have approval to use

due to copyright questions. Barry will coordinate this effort along with Vince. If they say no he will just reference the table and the IEC document. Barry will finish cleaning up the editorial comments and then send the updated guide to the task group for a final review. Once they approve, he will send it to the group and Karen/Nicole will review it for any minor editorial and formatting updates. A forward will be added indicating that it can be used but any duplication must cite NEII as the source. The goal is to have it completed and published on the website prior to the ISO Plenary meeting April 3-4. NEII will request a new work item be opened to create an ISO standard on Cybersecurity using the guide as the baseline.

(d) CBC 14 Rail Deflection – Doug Henderson Background: Previously, Doug reported that California added Annex 16A to the CA Building code with a whole new set of rail deflections. He reported they are approximately 3 times more restrictive than others and would require significantly more rail brackets. Amy and Kevin will try to get more details on the changes and rationale. Discussion: Doug reported that after further review there do not appear to be any real differences. Bruce noted that it may be more of an interpretation issue by local designers versus a code issue. This may be the result of following the latest building code with the older elevator code. The committee agreed that no action was needed at this time so it will be removed from future agendas.

(e) Adoption of IBC 2018 (Attachment #13) – Bruce Horne Background: Previously, Bruce recommended that NEII track jurisdictions that have adopted or are considering adoption of the IBC 2018 due to the addition of the two way video communication requirement. Amy indicated that she has already requested that Stateside monitor this for us. Discussion: Bruce has an updated spreadsheet that should be coordinated with Codefinder. Kevin and David have been working with Jim Harding in NY state to provide some direction. The committee agreed we should develop a consistent recommendation/direction to all jurisdictions considering adoption. North central Texas area and NJ also removed the requirement out. A17.1/B44 is scheduled to be published in September so hopefully we can recommend other areas reference it directly. Bruce and Kevin will work on a proposal.

(f) NEII Representatives on Code Committees 1) ASME A17 Outside Emergency Elevator

ASME has not issued a ballot for a new chair at this time.

2) Update on IUEC on ASME A17 Committees (Attachment #14)

The spreadsheet will remain on the agenda for monitoring. Kevin will continue to update as needed and it will be presented as part of the BOD update in September each year.

3) Alternate for A117 Kevin Brinkman suggested that Dylan Isenberg be added as his alternate on A117 in the event he is not able to attend a meeting. Meetings are traditionally held in Washington DC so there would not be any travel costs for him to attend. The committee agreed. Kevin and Karen will draft a letter to send to ICC.

(h) NFPA study – Vince Robibero

Vince Robibero reported on a study being considered by NFPA. Vince will send email to Lawrence to check on status. NFPA was supposed to decide in early 2019.

15. NEII® CodeFinder (Attachment #15) – Katelyn Wyatt

Tier 1 Jurisdictions: CA, FL, MA, NY and New York City, NV, WA, ON The committee held a general discussion on whether we still need tiers. How do we do a better job of tracking changes and getting input in advance? How can we use our resources to keep ahead? The committee also discussed safety testing in PA. Dylan agreed to check with his contacts to see if we can talk with the lawyers who are forcing the rule on testing of safeties. (a) Updates to Database/Spreadsheet

Katelyn Wyatt gave an update on the current status of the CodeFinder data base. A copy of the updated reporting spreadsheet can be found in the attachment.

Katelyn reported that she is dealing with issues with A17 status chart and with broken links. She is working with John Kelley. She is also working to coordinate IBC 2018 adoptions with the list from Bruce. The committee discussed timing of updates to CodeFinder. They agreed it is better to add the updates early rather than waiting until the effective date. They also prefer the update spreadsheet in alphabetical order as opposed to tier version we had before. Okay to leave list of tier 1 states in agenda but keep reporting alphabetical. They committee also discussed an issue in AZ regarding A17.7. Stateside’s status chart is not necessary always correct. Based on laws in AZ, A17.7 was not excluded so it is in effect, even though their lawyers say it is not. It was noted that Stateside Alerts are not always timely. The committee discussed the need to utilize Katelyn or consultants to catch some of the other changes outside the main codes. Do we need to expand the jurisdictions or codes that we monitor? A recommendation was made to sit down as a group and review Codefinder list and jurisdictions to discuss. Stateside only looks at limited cities (NYC, Chicago, DC and Los Angeles) and 50 states. How can we better cover other cities and Canada? Also to have a strategy discussion to talk about what Codefinder should look like and how to cover more other codes. One suggestion was to create a generic Powerpoint presentation to educate elevator board members on code updates and to improve communication with company representatives on local boards so they can let us know if codes are changing and let them know our positions.

(b) Addition of IECC to Database

The committee previously agreed to revisit this item when CodeFinder is moved to the new website platform next year. Katelyn will continue to track the IECC and update the reporting spreadsheet based on state websites.

16. Local Elevator Code Issues

Note: Updates on issues that pertain to both the CCC and GAC committees were held for discussion during the joint meeting with GAC.

(a) California.

1) Group V Update

This item was held for discussion during the joint meeting.

2) Hoistway Task Group on Top of Car Clearance Background: An ASME Task group was created to review this issue based questions from DOSH. The task group is continuing to work on proposals based on the Hazard Analysis. All proposals will be vetted through the ASME process. Discussion: Work is ongoing. The committee is considering another on-site meeting to work on details.

3) CA Building and Electrical Code Updates – Vince Robibero

Background: The committee previously discussed a CA electrical code change that went into effect Jan 1, 2017 (permit date) which requires all elevator controllers to be in a room. The proposal was submitted by DOSH and is now being used as justification for changes to Group V. Discussion: This item was held for discussion during the joint meeting.

(b) New York City

1) Elevator Code Update (Attachment #16)

Background: The NYC Elevator Code committee continues to discuss potential code changes to the NYC elevator code, including restrictions on MRL. Discussion: Jeff Blain was unable to call in due to a conflict but provided a brief update via email. The NYC code committee is almost complete with its work. The MRL changes we proposed remain in place. The committee is also considering the adoption of the A17.1-2019 emergency communications provisions with a few additional edits to correspond to current NYC requirements. The committee reviewed the spreadsheet from Jeff.

2) Emergency Exit size

Bruce is still reviewing ladder data from FDNY in relation to emergency exit sizes. He will also discuss with the FDNY. Companies are asked to review impact of potential size increase on their products.

3) Accessibility update

The NYC DOB Accessibility committee is considering updates to their accessibility requirements for Destination Oriented Elevators. NEII arranged some site visits to allow members of the committee to see some actual installations. Based on comments received from these visits a new draft was created. Jeff and Bruce will continue to participate in the process and coordinate comments on the latest proposal.

(c) Illinois/Chicago 1) City of Chicago

Background: The Chicago Elevator Advisory Board previously recommended that the city adopt ASME A17.1-2016/CSA B44-16 with only a few modifications. Modifications include a requirement for an alarm in the elevator car and reducing the alternatives for pit ladder design. Discussion: Nothing new to report.

2) State of Illinois (Attachment #17)

Background: The State of Illinois Elevator Board is considering an update to the 2016 edition of A17.1/B44. The update includes a proposal to require testing of all of the fire alarm initiating devices (FAID) connected to the elevator system during annual inspections and tests. Discussion: The JCAR process will not begin until the new administration has been set up. NEII has a plan to work with our lobbyist when that process starts. Bruce Horne and Kevin Brinkman will develop talking points.

(d) Washington (Attachment #18)

Washington will be opening new rulemaking to address some proposed changes for existing equipment (other than passenger elevators) that was pulled from the change made last year to allow more discussion. NEII submitted three versions of a proposal to modify WAC 296-96-02552 Location of Equipment to allow for controls in the hoistway. Kevin Brinkman has applied to be a representative on the Technical Advisory Committee that will review all proposals.

(i) Houston Building Code Flood Detection (Attachment #19) – Doug Henderson

Background: Houston is considering a proposal to add flood detection for elevators. It would be retroactive if adopted as written. Doug Henderson shared the ASME HW proposal with city and is waiting to hear back from them. This item is information and monitoring only at this time.

Discussion: Doug reported that the proposal in Houston is still being reviewed and that he will continue to monitor. The committee agreed to submit comments when the comment period opens. The A17 EOC proposal is progressing. The goal would be to try to get Houston to adopt the A17 language once approved.

(j) NAVFAC This item was held for discussion during the joint meeting.

(k) City of Anchorage

This issue has been resolved and this item will be removed from future agendas. (l) New Brunswick CECA MCP logbook requirement – Sheldon Bornstein

Sheldon agreed to request the rationale for this requirement. Sheldon was unable to attend so no update was provided.

(m) IAEC positon paper on convergence (Attachment #20) Background: The committee previously discussed an IAEC position paper on convergence. The paper also appeared in the NAESA Progress and NAEC Mainline and will be in December issue of Elevator World. There are inaccuracies in the paper and the committee discussed whether any action should be taken and agreed to add this to the agenda for the joint meeting. Discussion: David McColl wrote a letter that appeared in the February NEII Insider. It did not directly address the IAEC paper, but provided facts on the convergence process. It was also submitted to Elevator World but they requested a shorter version since a similar article had been run previously. David also plans to speak at the next ASME RAC committee member to address the inaccuracies.

(n) Alberta Requirements (Attachment #21) David McColl provided a brief update on new requirements regarding enforcement of MCP and Cat 1 and Cat 5 testing in Alberta. There is a declaration form that

companies have to sign. This item was for information only and will be removed from future agendas.

(o) NJ Code adoption Vince Robibero reported that NJ is [email today] is considering code updates. The comments on the attachment are from the state. They are not planning to adopt the two way communication provisions or A17.7. A meeting is planned for March 28 and John Mitchell usually attends. The committee recommended provided comments on the proposal and that it should continue to be monitored. Bruce Horne will provide contact information for person who took over from Paulina Caploon.

17. New Business

(a) Inquiry on 2.27.11.6.9 (Attachment #22)

This item was added to the agenda for information only. The inquiry was reviewed at the last A17 EOC meeting. It was revised to correct the floor designations and to clarify question 3. It will be reviewed by the A17 Standards committee in May.

(b) Controller updates on Obsolete Equipment – Doug Henderson Doug Henderson discussed replacement of controllers on obsolete equipment. His concern is that if one controller in group fails and parts not available it would be good to have option to replace with equal form, fit and function versus updating all elevators in group to comply with the latest code. Doug agreed to draft a strawman for the next meeting.

(c) Hoistway Ventilation in IBC (Attachment #23) – Doug Henderson Doug Henderson provided a strawman proposal regarding hoistway venting. If temperature range can be achieved without independent ventilation the current language would not require ventilation. The committee recommended adding this to the code coordination agenda. Kevin will review the IBC changes for 2012 to see if the language changed in when pressurization was added.

(d) Revised GTBFT Agreement David McColl emailed the revised agreement to committee members prior to the meeting. The proposal is to add new organizations and would require Tom Vining to

sign on behalf of NEII. David will discuss with Tom and report on this item at the BOD.

(e) NEII Policy Statements (Attachment #24)

Amy Blankenbiller reported on proposed NEII policy statements. The yellow highlighted statements are intended for the website, while the rest is for internal discussion and support. The yellow highlighted statements will also be discussed at the joint meeting. Amy asked the committee to provide comments on the non-highlighted portion. Amy agreed to compile the comments for discussion at the next meeting.

(f) Remote Calls (CA)

The committee discussed an issue regarding remote calls versus remote interaction in CA. The committee agreed not to directly address the circular letter since it is older. Interaction implies doing something which is beyond monitoring. Remote monitoring is passive so not really interaction. The committee agreed to discuss more in the future. It is felt that defined terms are needed and we may need to involve other NEII committees.

(g) MA bill regarding escalator step markings

MA has proposed a new bill that would require additional marking on escalator steps. The markings would be required to be three inches wide compared to 1.5 in A17.1/B44. Concern is that the markings are too wide and it is not clear on which edge the marking should be placed.

(h) NV topics The Elevator Division in NV has asked for NEII input on three topics.

I. Cert-blocking vs non-cert-blocking violations – The committee was not familiar with this term, so it may be specific to NV. Amy will follow up.

II. Wraps for elevators (ads) – Concerns that it may cover some elevator features. Should the elevator division be notified, who does the work, is it a violation, does it need to be inspected to ensure it does not impact elevator operation or signage. General consensus was that we should not support use of wraps, but will discuss with GAC also.

III. Licensing information on website – hold for joint meeting.

(i) Disconnect locations for Miami Dade

Bruce Horne reported that Miami Dade elevator division is requiring local offices to change the disconnect location out of the Inspection and Test panel. They are citing concerns about a fire in the controller and want the disconnect near the controller. The committee decided not to take any action at this time.

18. NEII® CCC Objectives for New Long-Range Strategic Plan

The Long-Range Strategic Plan is available on the committee website under the policies section. http://www.neii.org/members/committees/20/lrplan.cfm.

Background: The Long-Range Strategic Plan is being reviewed and updated. The process is being led by NEII staff with input from the various committees. The organization is focused on code development and safety, so that should be reflected in our strategy, but also government affairs is now a bigger part of what we do and labor relations has been moved to NEBA. The review is also looking at membership categories and meeting formats.

Discussion: There was no discussion on the overall plan, but the committee will begin looking at objectives for the committee at a future meeting.

19. NEII® Newsletter and Website Articles

The committee previously discussed ideas for future communications and identified the following members to draft articles:

• David McColl – ISO Prescriptive Code • Key changes in the A17.1/B44-2019 (Bruce and Sheldon) – target AHJ and

architects (maybe separate version for internal audience)

20. Review of Issues to bring to GAC/CCC meeting

Note: Updates on issues that pertain to both the CCC and GAC committees were held for discussion during the joint meeting with GAC.

Additional items identified during CCC meeting include:

• Remote interaction/cybersecurity • GTBFT agreement

General: Avoid implicating/compromising current market acceptance of Remote Monitoring implementation.

Phase 1: Take a small bite on remote intervention using automatic features that code committee members would have the least issue with and concentrate on establishing requirements that address security concerns.

a) Focus to achieve a minimum of obtaining allowance to movethe elevator using Automatic functions already permitted remotely within the building: examples, Parking Feature, Penthouse Feature, (hall calls?).

b) Address concerns related to remote communications to theelevator from outside the building, such as hacking, Denial of Service, etc.

Phase 2: With security of communications concerns addressed in code requirements, expand remote intervention to other possible functions.

Proposal for modification of current requirements to provide guarding between adjacent hoistways.

SECTION 2.2 PITS

2.2.3 Guards Between Adjacent Pits

2.2.3.1 Where there is a difference in level between the floors of adjacent pits Where cars are located adjacent to each other in multiple-elevator hoistway shall be guarded, a metal guard, unperforated, or perforated with openings that will reject a ball 50 mm (2 in.) in diameter, shall be installed for separating such pits. The guard shall be of noncombustible material. The guard, if of openwork material, shall reject a ball 50 mm (2 in.) in diameter and be made from material equal to or stronger than 1.110 mm (0.0437 in.) diameter wire. The guard shall be so supported that when subjected to a force of 450 N (100 lbf) applied over an area of 100 mm _ 100 mm (4 in. _ 4 in.) at any location, the deflection shall not reduce the any running clearances as defined. Guards shall extend not less than 2 000 mm (79 in.) above the level of the higher pit floor and a self-closing access door shall be permitted.

2.2.3.2 Where the difference in level is 600 mm (24 in.) or less, a standard railing conforming to 2.10.2 shall be permitted to be installed in lieu of the guard.

Rationale: Provide protection between pits between adjacent cars in the similar level of protection between adjacent counterweights.

Current Language for Couterweight protection.

SECTION 2.3 LOCATION AND GUARDING OF COUNTERWElGHTS

2.3.2.3 Guarding of Counterweights in a Multiple-Elevator Hoistway. Where a counterweight is located between elevators, the counterweight runway shall be guarded on the side next to the adjacent elevator. The guard shall be of noncombustible material. The guard, if of openwork material, shall reject a ball 25 mm (1 in.) in diameter and be made from material equal to or stronger than 1.110 mm (0.0437 in.) diameter wire. The guard shall be so supported that when subjected to a force of 450 N (100 lbf) applied over an area of 100 mm _ 100 mm (4 in. _ 4 in.) at any location, the deflection shall not reduce the clearance between the guard and the counterweight below 25 mm (1 in.).


Proposed Change to IECC C405.8.2 & C405.8.2.1IECC: C405.8.2, C405.8.2.1

Proponent : Kevin Brinkman, representing National Elevator Industry, Inc. ([email protected])

2018 International Energy Conservation CodeRevise as f o llows

C405.8.2 Escalators and moving walks. Escalators and moving walks shall comply with ASME A17.1/CSA B44 and B44.Where a traffic analys is indicates that an escalator or moving walk application will have sufficient periods with no riderswhile it is operating, it shall have automatic controls configured to that reduce speed to the minimum as permitted speedin accordance with ASME A17.1/CSA B44 or applicable local code when not conveying passengers..

Except ion: A variable voltage drive system that reduces operating voltage in response to light loading conditions isan alternative to the reduced speed function.

C405.8.2.1 Regenerat ive drive.Power Recovery. An escalator designed either for one-way down operation only or forrevers ible operation shall have a variable frequency regenerative drive that supplies electrical energy to the buildingelectrical system when the escalator is loaded Where a traffic analys is indicates that an escalator application will havesufficient periods in the down direction with passengers whose combined weight exceeds 750 pounds (340 kg)., theescalator shall be designed to recover, on average, more power than is consumed by the power recovery feature of itsmotor controller system.[Note: some examples may include direct induction motor regeneration, variable frequency regeneration motor controller,or various combinations of the two.]

Reason Statement : The universal application of technology designed for energy efficiency improvement imposed bythe current requirement may actually increase energy consumption in many applications. The proposed revis ion wouldrequire a traffic analys is to determine whether the technology would actually be beneficial or detrimental. The proposalalso used more prescriptive language for the power recovery to allow designers and manufacturers to select the mostenergy efficient technology for the application.C405.8.2: Depending on the escalator or moving walk application, varying speeds may actually increase energy usage.Each time the escalator or moving walk returns to the normal operating speed from its reduced speed condition, moreenergy is consumed to create the acceleration needed. In applications where the amount of time that there are no ridersis very short, the energy consumed during the acceleration stage may actually exceed what is saved during the reducedspeed segments. The traffic analys is can be used to calculate the anticipated savings, if any, to determine whether thetechnology should be applied and the return on investment.

C405.8.2.1: It should be noted that most, if not all, escalators are designed to be revers ible, so the provis ion in thecurrent edition would be applied to all escalators, including those that always run in the up direction. Depending on theescalator application, there may be only marginal gains in applying one technical solution over another and therefore nosingle technical solution should be prescribed for all escalators as stated in the current standard. The proposed languageuses more prescriptive language for the power recovery to allow designers and manufacturers to select the mostenergy efficient technology for the application and ensure that if applied it actually recovers more power on average thanthe added feature would consume.

To further illustrate the deficiencies in the current language and support the need for an analys is to determine the bestoption for energy usage, three hypothetical scenarios are provided below with three configurations of motor controller-motor energy recovery arrangements. In each configuration, power recovery (regen power) back to the supply systemcan only be realized when the escalator is running in the down direction with a sufficient load to overcome friction. (Seesample motor controller configuration diagrams under Technical Backup).

Elect rical DATA

Rise: 18’ (approx. 6m)

Power: 15Hp/11kW

Power factor (Pf) 0.75

Voltage: 480VAC


Configurat ion 1 is an electro-mechanical motor controller with an AC induction motor that can feed direct power back tothe power supply system when the escalator is running in the down direction with sufficient load.

Configurat ion 2 is an electronic motor controller with no regeneration capability but can reduce escalator speed whenthere are no riders on it, and uses the AC motor to feed direct power back to the power supply system when theescalator is running in the down direction with sufficient load.

Configurat ion 3 is an electronic motor controller with regeneration capability back to the power supply system when theescalator is running in the down direction with sufficient load driving an AC induction motor.

A) Approximate addit ional energy consumpt ion (kW/hr.) by the cont roller f or the f our types of motorcont rols considered (elect ro-mechanical is baseline):

1. Electro-mechanical motor controller with AC induction motor ~ 0 kW

2. Electronic motor controller (VVVF) without regen and with AC induction motor ~ 0.285 kW

3. Electronic motor controller (VVVF Pf1 regen type) with AC induction motor ~ 0.430 kW

B) Approximate energy saved (kW/hr.) at reduced speed f or the three types of motor cont rols considered:

1. Electro-mechanical motor controller with AC induction motor ~ 0 kW (reduced speed not possible)

2. Electronic motor controller (VVVF) without regen and with AC induction motor ~ 1.5 kW

3. Electronic motor controller (VVVF Pf1 regen type) with AC induction motor ~ 1,5 kW

C) Approximate energy recovered (kW/hr) by the escalator f or the three types of motor cont rolsconsidered:

1. Electro-mechanical motor controller with AC induction motor ~ 3 kW

2. Electronic motor controller (VVVF) without regen and with AC induction motor ~ 3 kW

3. Electronic motor controller (VVVF Pf1 regen type) with AC induction motor ~ 4 kW

Summary: From the three application scenarios below, it will be seen that the energy savings from each configurationvery much depends upon the application and use of the escalator:

The s ingle dedicated down airport escalator in Scenario 1 with the VVVF Pf1 regenerative motor controller ofConfiguration 3 provides the best energy efficiency. This configuration is specified by the current standard.The s ingle up escalator with a peak hour down direction in scenario 2 is better suited with the VVVF motor controllerin Configuration 2 that can reduce the speed of the escalator when no riders are present but uses the AC motor tofeed direct power back to the power supply system when the escalator is moving in the down direction withsufficient load.The heavily used bi-directional shopping mall escalators in Scenario 3 will consume more energy with the addedspeed reduction and power recovery features of Configuration 2 and 3 than they would by s imply allowing the ACinduction motor of Configuration 1 to recover direct energy from the induction motor whenever possible.

The NEII proposed code modifications address the application sensitivity in achieving energy recovery and savings bymaking the application of the conveyance a factor in selecting the best suited energy saving configuration.

Applicat ion Scenario 1

An airport is open 18 hours per day with a dedicated down escalator to baggage claim. When flights arrive, it is loadedwith more than 75% capacity for 5 minutes for each flight and zero load the remainder of the time. One hundred andtwenty arriving flights per day use this baggage claim escalator.

Energy is utilized by escalators for the following:

1. to overcome friction,2. transport the load, and3. inertia (starting) (ins ignificant for configuration 1 minimum for the others)

Because of the angle of inclination, transport of the escalator load is the dominate energy consumption area of thesystem to move a load up the inclination. However, the converse is true that when the load is being transported in thedown direction, energy can be produced by the overhauling of the drive motor from the downward moving load andreturned to the power system.

In general, an AC induction motor used to drive an escalator will produce power when it is in overhauling in the downdirection with sufficient passenger loading to overcome the friction in the system. AC induction motors may be appliedwith s imple electro-mechanical or fully e lectronic motor controllers and still provide this capability. Other variations ofmotor types, such as permanent magnet motors and variable voltage variable frequency motor control are also possible,and may also provide an energy saving reduced speed feature in the application. However, the electronics required forthe various technologies to provide these motor control functions also consumes energy and must be weighed againstthe possible energy saving under the application and use of the escalator.

It should also be pointed out that in certain applications, escalators and moving walks with a speed reduction feature areconfronted with flows of traffic that can cause the escalator or moving walk to continually switch between full to reducedspeed and back to full speed. With a high enough frequency, this switching between s low to full speed will consume moreenergy than saved by the feature because of the need to accelerate the mass to full speed each time.

Proposed change to IEBC 305.8.2IEBC: 305.8.2

Proponent : Kevin Brinkman, representing National Elevator Industry, Inc. ([email protected])

2018 International Existing Building CodeRevise as f o llows

305.8.2 Elevators. Altered elements of existing elevators shall comply with ASME A17.1 and ICC A117.1. Such elementsshall also be altered in elevators programmed to respond to the same hall call control as the altered elevator.

Reason Statement : This requirement is not necessary and may conflict with the ASME A17.1/CSA B44 Safety Code forElevators and Escalators. A17.1/B44 already has detailed requirements for alterations. All e levators in a group may not bethe same. Some cars may serve additional landings, have different s ize cars, or other features. It may not be feasible tocomply with A117 due to variations or in older equipment. This requirement is overly restrictive and adds unnecessarycost to building owners. It may deter buildings owners from making improvements to one elevator due to the additionalcost of having to update all other elevators in the group and therefore, reduce accessibility.

Cost Impact : The code change proposal will not increase or decrease the cost of constructionThis code change proposal will not increase or decrease the cost of construction because elevator alterations are alreadyaddressed in ASME A17.1/CSA B44.

From: Gene Boecker <[email protected]>Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2017 8:14 AMTo: Kevin BrinkmanSubject: ANSI question

Hi Kevin,

I was hoping that you could help me figure out what, if anything we can do this next round to clarify an issue with the two‐way communications system in the elevator car. I believe the concern is that we have two sections that use the word “emergency” and they are not being consistently applied.

407.4.6.4 Emergency Controls. Emergency controls shall comply with Section 407.4.6.4. 407.4.6.4.1 Height. Emergency control buttons shall have their centerlines 35 inches (890 mm) minimum

above the floor. 407.4.6.4.2 Location. Emergency controls, including the emergency alarm, shall be grouped at the

bottom of the panel.

407.4.10 Emergency Communications. Emergency two‐way communication systems between the elevator car and a point outside the hoistway shall comply with Section 407.4.1 0 and ASME/ANSI A17.1 listed in Section 105.2.5.

407.4.10.1 Height. The highest operable part of a two‐way communication system shall comply with Section 308.

407.4.10.2 Identification. Tactile characters complying with Section 703.3 and symbols complying with Section 407.4.7.1.3 shall be provided adjacent to the device.

The way I understand this, the emergency controls (i.e. stop, alarm) must be at least 35 inches AFF. They are emergency controls. However, the “emergency” two‐way communications system is not a *control.* Additionally, it has its own provision regarding height. Therefore, the phone button could be as low as 15 inches AFF. Regardless, the point is that it could be below the emergency controls.

So, I have a couple of questions I hope you can help with and maybe, depending on the answer, we can work on a couple of proposals for ANSI.

1. This IS the right way of looking at it, correct? We’ve had code officials say that the “emergency” two‐waycommunications system is an emergency control and therefore subject to the 35‐inch rule. I don’t think that’sright. Section 407.4.10.1 offers its own requirement for height. Please let me know your thoughts.

2. If Section 407.4.10.1 is in fact the governing section for height, isn’t 145 inches AFF a bit low? When there was ahand phone in the control panel that might have been necessary just for space control on the panel; but, isanyone putting phones in elevators anymore? The old standards had a 9 inch AFF allowance for low reach and aminimum 29‐inch cord requirement. Shouldn’t the standard say that the minimum height is 35 inches (9” + 29”less 4” for assumed bend in the cord)? Or maybe 2 inches lower if it is intended to be below the emergencycontrols; 33 inches AFF minimum? Or, immediately below the emergency controls?

The way it is not, it appears that the phone button can be at 15 inches AFF. That’s assuming that it is NOT a “control” button. But, if so, shouldn’t it be higher? If so, would you like to work on a proposal for the next ANSI round? Too many questions?

Thanks, Kevin. I’ll look for your email.

We’ve seen the two‐way button sometimes in line with the 35 inches and sometimes below the 35 inches, especially in elevators with lots of stops.

There’s one other thing we noticed – the star on the hoistway jamb is sometimes only one inch high because the text only says a raised star shall be provided. Apparently some people don’t think the star is a character. The other thing we see is a star that is 2 inches high but only an inch wide. I think we might want to clarify that it is supposed to comply with the proportions shown in Table 407.4.7.1.3. Technically, without the reference, the star could be a seven pointed star too. I haven’t seen that but I’ve seen lots of conditions with small stars or stretched stars. Perhaps the California language might work. They changed the last sentence to read:

A raised star, placed to the left of the floor designation, shall be provided on both jambs at the main entry level. The outside diameter of the star shall be 2 inches (51 mm) and all points shall be of equal length. Raised characters, including the star, shall be white on a black background. Braille complying with Section 11B‐703.3 shall be placed below the corresponding raised characters and the star. The Braille translation for the star shall be “MAIN”. Applied plates are acceptable if they are permanently fixed to the jamb.

I’m not sure that we need to dictate the color but the criteria for the star seems pretty good to me.

Hi Gene,

Interesting question. Elevators today use a single push button to contact authorized personnel (no handset), so I think most companies are putting it in line with the stop and/or alarm. That being said, I can see where there might be room for interpretation. Let me compare to the requirements in the Elevator Code and get back to you. If we need a change, I will be glad to work on it with you. Thanks for the heads up.

From: Gene Boecker [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2017 8:14 AM To: Kevin Brinkman <[email protected]> Subject: ANSI question Hi Kevin, I was hoping that you could help me figure out what, if anything we can do this next round to clarify an issue with the two‐way communications system in the elevator car. I believe the concern is that we have two sections that use the word “emergency” and they are not being consistently applied.

407.4.6.4 Emergency Controls. Emergency controls shall comply with Section 407.4.6.4. 407.4.6.4.1 Height. Emergency control buttons shall have their centerlines 35 inches (890 mm) minimum

above the floor. 407.4.6.4.2 Location. Emergency controls, including the emergency alarm, shall be grouped at the

bottom of the panel. 407.4.10 Emergency Communications. Emergency two‐way communication systems between the elevator car and a point outside the hoistway shall comply with Section 407.4.1 0 and ASME/ANSI A17.1 listed in Section 105.2.5.

407.4.10.1 Height. The highest operable part of a two‐way communication system shall comply with Section 308.

407.4.10.2 Identification. Tactile characters complying with Section 703.3 and symbols complying with Section 407.4.7.1.3 shall be provided adjacent to the device.

The way I understand this, the emergency controls (i.e. stop, alarm) must be at least 35 inches AFF. They are emergency controls. However, the “emergency” two‐way communications system is not a *control.* Additionally, it has its own provision regarding height. Therefore, the phone button could be as low as 15 inches AFF. Regardless, the point is that it could be below the emergency controls. So, I have a couple of questions I hope you can help with and maybe, depending on the answer, we can work on a couple of proposals for ANSI.

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE:

The study of Electromagnetic Compatibility can be very complex. The outline and guidelines below are addressing the issue from a general perspective. The point of view of this discussion is that of the Elevator Control System. The Elevator Control System can be understood as every piece of elevator apparatus that operates with an electric circuit, and very importantly, the interconnection (wiring) between the individual components.

Compatibility is categorized into the following sub headings for a particular piece of manufacturer's electronic equipment:

2.0 IMMUNITY:

The meaning of Immunity is that the Elevator Control System will not be adversely affected by interference signals coming from another source. The meaning of “adversely affected" must be carefully understood and based on exact defined criteria. "Compatibility" means that the Elevator Control System can withstand and operate properly in the defined electromagnetic environment.

3.0 EMISSIONS:

Emissions are potential interference signals coming from the Elevator Control System that may adversely interfere with other electronic devices. "Compatibility" means that the Elevator Control System will not emit interference signals above levels defined by some agreed to specification.

Further, the type of interference signal can be described by the following basic definitions:

4.0 CONDUCTED:

Interference signals that are electrically transmitted through AC feeder lines, motor circuit wiring, or logic and communication wiring.

5.0 RADIATED:

Interference signals transmitted through the air. Commonly called RFI (Radio Frequency Interference).

6.0 IMMUNITY AND COMPATIBILITY OF THE ELEVATOR CONTROL SYSTEM:

To further define the relationship to the Elevator Control System, the issue of compatibility more specifically breaks down into the following concepts:

7.0 OPERATIONAL SAFETY:

Strictly from a standpoint of operational safety, ASME A17.1/CSA B44 contains performance provisions for elevator systems, when subjected to interference signals of certain type and intensity. Both conducted and radiated interference signals are considered in these requirements. It is understood that Elevator Control System manufacturers will perform testing, and retain documentation, to show that the system meets the defined safety requirements.

8.0 MALFUNCTION OF THE ELEVATOR EQUIPMENT:

This is a deeper issue of immunity of the elevator control system. Although "malfunction" is not strictly defined by any standard, if a manufacturer can assure conformance to operational safety as prescribed in ASME A17.1/CSA B44, then it is likely that non-safety compromising malfunctions will be minimized. Examples of non-safety compromising events:

• Disturbance of hall call or car callsignalization.

• Malfunction of group dispatching.

However, there are a few important points to keep in mind. Most important, is that almost all elevator logic and power control equipment is enclosed in some type of metal cabinet. The metal cabinet acts as an immunity shield against outside noise. From the standpoint of practicality, it is frequently necessary for elevator maintenance personnel to inspect or test the system with the main controller cabinet doors open or removed. This situation creates a possible exposure of the equipment to RF interference.

As a general guideline, it is recommended that transmitting and receiving, antennas within a building are not placed in the reasonable proximity of main elevator controller cabinets. Stated another way, the close proximity of transmitting and receiving antennas may adversely affect the operation of elevator systems. Placement and directionalization of such antennas should be carefully considered in order to avoid interference with elevator equipment.

9.0 EMISSIONS AND COMPATIBILITY OF THE ELEVATOR CONTROL SYSTEM:

In order to achieve a compatible environment for all electronic equipment, two equally important components of the final elevator system should be addressed:

• The specific designed-in components of theelevator control circuit devices.


robibevi

Sticky Note

Revise this sentence to read: It is understood that Elevator Control System manufacturers will have control equipment tested in accordance as specified by the safety standard and retain test results documentation. Reason: A17.1 specifically specifies control equipment, not systems.

• The required installation techniques of the entire elevator system.

To emphasize the above point, an elevator equipment manufacturer can build anti-emission devices (such as isolation transformers or power filters) into the elevator control system. However, if suitable installation measures are not followed, the ultimate goal of a compatible environment may be lost. Because of design responsibility, it is generally agreed, that for electromagnetic compatibility the boundary of the electrical power system is at the point of connection into the mainline feeder terminals on the elevator equipment. The line side of the boundary is the responsibility of the electrical contractor, or building electrical distribution manager. Examples of important installation related issues, which can contribute to an emissions-compatible system:

• The use of shielded wire between the motor controller and the elevator hoist machine.

• The correct installation of properly bonded conduit.

• The isolation and separation of sensitive logic circuits into dedicated conduits, or paths.

• Very specific grounding connection points and termination practice.

• Isolating sensitive equipment away from the elevator feeders.

The following is offered as additional guideline information.

10.0 CONDUCTED EMISSIONS: Reasonable countermeasures against conducted interference signals have been put in place both by elevator manufacturers, and by experienced electrical contractors. This is a cooperative effort, and should include the design practice of properly isolating potentially sensitive equipment onto separate feeders. 11.0 RADIATED EMISSIONS: The design and construction of the Elevator Control System equipment is an important aspect related to the levels of emissions. Most notable is the very common practice of enclosing the control circuits in metal cabinets. In order to minimize emissions, gaps in metal bends should be avoided, and metal gaskets can be applied between the cabinet and any mating surface to doors or other openings. As previously mentioned, the end result of a compatible environment also depends on the site installation techniques. This means that the wiring and bonding practices must be defined and followed, if emissions are to meet levels expected by certain specifications.


NEII Part 3 Note:

“Fire Service Access Elevators (FSAE) required by IBC 403.6.1 shall be provided with hoistway lighting per IBC 3007.5.2. The hoistway lighting shall be located such that it does not interfere with the operation of the elevator or reduce any clearances below applicable code requirements.”

2018 IBC:

403.6.1 Fire service access elevator. In buildings with an occupied floor more than 120 feet (36 576 mm) above the lowest level of fire department vehicle access, not fewer than two fire service access elevators, or all elevators, whichever is less, shall be provided in accordance with Section 3007. Each fire service access elevator shall have a capacity of not less than 3,500 pounds (1588 kg) and shall comply with Section 3002.4.

Strawman Proposal for IBC:

3007.5.2 Hoistway lighting. When fire-fighters’ emergency operation is active, the entire height of the hoistway shall be illuminated at not less than 1 foot-candle (11 lux) as measured from the top of the car of each fire service access elevator. Hoistway lighting shall be installed in accordance with the provisions of ASME A17.1/CSA B44.

Rationale: To provide a reference to ASME A17.1/CSA B44 to insure a minimum clearance is maintained between the hoistway lighting and the moving car and counterweigh.

ASME Emergency Operations Record 12-1815:

2.27.10 Fire Service Access Elevators

2.27.10.1 In jurisdictions not enforcing the NBCC, Fire Service Access Elevators shall be provided when required by the building code.

Existing ASME Clearance Requirements:


2.5.1.1 Between Car and Hoistway Enclosures. The clearance between the car and the hoistway enclosure shall be not less than 20 mm (0.8 in.), except on the sides used for loading and unloading. 2.5.1.2 Between Car and Counterweight and Counterweight Guard. The clearance between the car and the counterweight shall be not less than 25 mm (1 in.). The clearance between the car and the counterweight guard, counterweight and the counterweight guard, and between the counterweight and the hoistway enclosure shall be not less than 20 mm (0.8 in.). Strawman Proposal for A17.1/B44: 2.5.1.7 When hoistway lighting is provided (see 2.27.10) the clearance between the car or the counterweight and the hoistway lighting shall be not less than 20 mm (0.8 in.). Rationale: To provide code requirements to specify a minimum running clearance between the hoistway lighting and the moving car and counterweigh. 2.5.1.78 Measurement of Clearances. The clearances specified in 2.5.1 shall be measured with no load on the car platform. Rationale: Editorial renumbering to allow a new 2.5.1 requirement while maintaining the generic requirement at the end of the section.

This would be fine for non-seismic. Seismic value would be 1" 8.4.1.1.3... so maybe go for 1" always? 8.4.1.1.2 would require 2" clearance

From: Hague, David Sent: Tuesday, November 6, 2018 1:33 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Roux, Richard <[email protected]> Subject: RE: NFPA 13‐2019 David, Although the initial Public Input was accepted by the committee, a subsequent Comment was received and acted on. While the Committee accepted the Comment during the Second Draft meeting, it failed letter ballot. Further, a Notice of Intent to Make a Motion (NITMAM) was also acted on and accepted at the Association Meeting in June, the resulting amendment ballot however, once again failed. As a result, the issue resorts to previous edition text which is why the proposed language is not contained in the 2019 edition of NFPA 13. For the next edition of NFPA 13, the Committee will be required to address this issue once again.

Although this was approved, for some reason, it does not appear in the 2019 edition (see final screenshot). Do you know what happened to our proposal and why it does not appear in the 2019 code? What steps can we take to get it re‐instated or re‐submitted, if necessary?

GUIDELINE Date: Date:

February 13, 2012 September 15,

2013

Subject: Alterations Guideline and Alteration Checklist for

A17.1-2010 / CSA B44-10 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators as amended by 261/13r1 Sent to: All Elevator Contractors

1. Effective Date 1.1 This Directors Guideline – revision 2 becomes effective September 15, 2013 and is to be used in

conjunction with alterations performed under the 2010 edition of A17.1/B44, as adopted in Code Adoption Document (CAD) Amendment 261/13r1.

2. Introduction 2.1 The purpose of this Director’s Guideline, in conjunction with Code Adoption Document (CAD) Amendment

261/13r1, is to;

(a) advise which types of upgrades are classified as alterations (b) indicate the format of the design submission required (see O.Reg 209/01 s.15), by categorizing the

scope of work as “major” , “minor A” or “minor B” (c) provide instruction on the use and submittal of the alteration checklist, (d) provide a summarized list of requirements associated with a given alteration scope via a checklist (e) supplement the adoption of section 8.7 Alterations in A17.1/B44 as detailed in Section 3.4 of the CAD.

3. Alterations

3.1 Work performed on an elevating device other than worked performed as maintenance, repair, or replacement is an alteration. Part 8, Section 8.6 of B44-10 as amended in CAD 261/13r1 deals with “Maintenance, Repairs, Replacements and Testing”, while Section 8.7 as amended in CAD 261/13r1 deals with “Alterations”.

3.2 This guideline captures the Alteration requirements of Section 8.7 (as amended in CAD 261/13r1) and

displays these requirements in a checklist format (see figure 2). 3.3 Type of Alteration Work

Columns 3 to 6 of the Alteration Checklist (see figure 2 for sample) classify the type of work as one of the following types:

(a) Alteration: Modification / Change (column 3)

means a change to the original design or characteristics of a component, assembly or the device as a whole, such as material, strength, size, dimension, rating, setting, function, operational mode, design parameters etc., whereby the change may be made on existing equipment or by substituting new modified equipment. Note that a change of the component make or model, without any other change, may constitute an alteration under requirements of CAD 261/13r1 (see item (d) below).

(b) Alteration: Addition (column 4)

means addition of a new component or a design feature, not previously provided e.g. addition of top-of-car operating devices.

(c) Replacement with same (column 5)





means the substituted device, assembly or component is the same as the original, and either; (i) requirements within B44 Section 8.6.3 as amended by CAD 261/13r1 classify the specific

replacement as an alteration and require that the substituted component and/or the elevating device as a whole meet the specific requirements of the latest Code edition, or

(ii) sections 8.6 of B44 as amended by CAD 261/13r1 recognizes the replacement of the noted item as an alteration, and requires an appropriate submission

(d) Replacement with different make and model (column 6)

means that the substituted device, assembly or component is the same as the original in its design, performance and safety characteristics, except that it is of a different make and/or model and the B44 code as amended by CAD 261/13r1 recognizes the replacement of the noted item as an alteration, and requires an appropriate submission.

Note: In addition to the work described in 3.3 and listed in the Alteration Checklist, any other work performed on an elevating device that results in a change to the inherent safety or operational characteristics constitutes an alteration per 2.6.2 of the CAD, even though there may be no change in the original design. The list of alterations in the attached Alteration Checklist is not all-inclusive.

4. Type of Design Submission 4.1 Columns 3, 4, 5, and 6 of the alteration checklist contain information needed to determine the type of

submission required. 4.2 By selecting the alteration scope (see column 1 of the Alteration checklist, see also B44 Section 8.7 as

amended by CAD 261/13r1), the submission type is identified in columns 3, 4, 5, & 6. These entries are may be listed as one of the following:

Major - means Major alteration Minor A - means Minor alteration type A Minor B - means Minor alteration type B Blanks (columns5&6) - work that would not constitute an alteration mrr - this work may proceed as a maintenance repair and replacement activity,

and no submission is required n/a - means TSSA has permitted an exception to a compliance requirement (for

the noted alteration scope) however, if another alteration activity requires compliance, the n/a exemption no longer applies

New - means, not an alteration but a new installation † - means that no inspection is required following the alteration variance - this activity can only be considered after approval of a variance Note: The checklist also utilizes a star symbol (). This symbol is used to identify TSSA designated alterations or to identify a supplemental TSSA requirement.

5. Requirements for Design Submissions and Inspections 5.1 A design submission or notification (in the case of a Minor B) must clearly specify, for each alteration

covered, whether the type of the alteration work is a "modification", or "addition", or “replacement". 5.2 Where multiple alterations scopes are undertaken, the “highest ranking” submission shall define the

submission type. Example: An alteration combination of Minor B and Major will be designated as a Major alteration.

5.2.1 Major Alteration: 5.2.1.1 The design submission shall be registered before the major alteration commences, except as permitted in

subsection 7(2) of O.Reg 209/01. 5.2.1.2 The alteration shall be inspected by TSSA prior to returning the device to service for public use.





5.2.2 Minor Alteration type A and B: 5.2.1.1 According to Section 19 of O.Reg 209/01, the design submission shall be submitted for registration not

later than 30 days after returning the elevating device to service. Contractors are advised to submit alteration documents in advance of the work start to ensure that no expense will be incurred should the registration of the proposed design or a requested variance be rejected.

Minor A and B alterations are permitted to be returned to service after work completion, however, the contractor who completed the alteration shall ensure that a “special inspection” has been requested within 60 days after returning the elevator to service. The contractor shall arrange and conduct any tests required by the inspector. A registered design submission or notification shall be available at the time of inspection.

5.3 Signatures 5.3.1 According to subsection 15.(6) of O.Reg 209/01, all individual documents composing the design

submission for any Major or Minor A alteration shall bear the signature and seal, or electronic equivalent, of the professional engineer who prepared or approved the design submission.

5.3.2 In the case of Minor B alterations, per O.Reg 15.(9), the design submission documents (or Notification)

may be signed by an officer or director of the company applying for registration if the officer or director is a mechanic or if the document is signed by a mechanic with an appropriate certificate who either performed or supervised the work to which the design submission relates.

5.3.3 Minor B’s that are electronically transmitted shall be deemed acceptable provided that the signature box of

the Minor B Notification form contains the name, designation and mechanic license number of a registered and licensed mechanic who supervised and is competent to oversee the scope of the minor B alteration. Example: Signature: John Smith, EDM-A, 00999999

5.4 Specification Forms 5.4.1 Alterations should be submitted on the appropriate Specification Sheets (depending on device type) and

should itemize all entries that are Directly and Indirectly affected by the alteration scope. Example: Cab Interior Modification resulting in an increase in cab weight Directly affected are interior finishes and flame ratings Indirectly affected are items such as: rope factor of safety (for electric & roped hydraulic

elevators) or cylinder column strength (for hydraulic elevators) Sufficient details are to be provided to show compliance verification.

A list of altered components must also be summarized on the submission (typically box 4000).

5.4.2 Items which are not affected by the alterations should be noted with either: N/C or No Change or The Original Entry followed by Existing. Example Car Wt.: 1812 kg - Existing

5.4.3 Where a “major alteration” or “minor alteration” affects only a very few items, the abridged form may be

used instead of the full specification form provided clarity of the submission is not compromised. The Abridged form should specify: box numbers, descriptions, and new entry values. (Example: 1670. Maximum System Pressure: 3445 kPa)

5.4.4 Some predefined templates exist for Minor B type alterations and are available from the TSSA web site.

These templates shall be utilized where appropriate to ensure all relevant entries are completed and included in the submission. Multiple Minor B notification templates may be utilized to fully cover the scope of work and only one Minor B fee shall apply.

5.5 Submitting an Alteration Checklist 5.5.1 The design submission for a Major or Minor A alteration must include an Alteration Checklist to assist in

demonstrating compliance with Section 8.7 of the code as amended by CAD 261/13r1 or any other items listed in Column 1 of the Checklist and must clearly specify the following:





(a) The scope of the alteration shall be identified with an ‘X’ in column 0 adjacent to each column 1 item that is part of the primary scope of the alteration

(b) All relevant sub requirements identified in column 2b shall be identified with an ‘x’ placed in column 0 to signify the sub requirement was has been given engineering consideration and/or modified. Optional: If desired items which where given engineering consideration but not changed, or deemed not applicable to a given installation may be marked with ‘r’ to indicate reviewed.

5.5.2 An Alteration Checklist is not required for Minor B Notifications. 5.5.3 Sections of the Alteration Checklist, which are not included in the scope of the alteration work, may be

hidden (using the row-hide feature in excel) prior to printing the Checklist, in order to reduce the number of printed pages accompanying a submission.

5.5.4 To assist our clients in completing the Alteration Checklist, TSSA will post on its Website

(www.tssa.org ) a fillable version of the Alteration Checklist in excel format (ED-251-11r1.xls). 5.5.5 The B44-10 reference numbers, shown in column 1 and which are marked with ‘X’ in the Alterations

Checklist, (also shown in BOLD font), are those items that are required to be shown on the Code Data Plate as per section 8.9 of B44.

5.5.6 The attached Alteration Checklist forms part of this

guideline. 6 Alteration Checklist 6.1 The Alteration Checklist provides useful information to:

contractors, submitting engineers, reviewing engineers and inspectors to assist in determining: the scope of the alteration, requirements associated with specified scope exemptions to a requirement (where n/a is shown) additional TSSA requirements (where is shown) type of submission required (Major, Minor A or B)

(See Fig 1)

6.2 Parts of the Checklist (See Fig 2) 6.2.1 Column 0:

Submitter’s shall mark Column 0 with ‘X’ to identify the scope and applicable sub-requirements that received engineering consideration. Sub-requirements related to the alteration are

mandatory and shall be identified with an ‘x’, except where the sub requirement is unrelated to the device being altered. (see Fig.2 Note E)

6.2.2 Column 1:

Column 1 contains the Alteration section numbers from B44 as amended by CAD 261/13r1, as well as specifically noted TSSA alterations. TSSA alterations are denoted as follows;

o 8.7.2.121 1 denotes the first TSSA designated alteration under section 8.7.2.12 o 8.7.2.122 2 denotes the second TSSA designated alteration under section 8.7.2.12

6.2.3 Column 2a, 2b and 2c:

Column 2 describes the scope and applicable alteration sub requirements. Column 2a is the primary title of the alteration activity (e.g. interlocks) Column 2b is the list of sub requirements by reference number (e.g. 2.12.1, 2.12.2…)

Since the 2005 edition of A17.1/B44 code, thousands of MRL installations have been installed and safely maintained for many years. The current language in WAC 296-96-02552 goes well beyond the requirements in A17.1/B44 code and it is unclear the justification for the additional requirements. According to A17 Inquiry 06-26 (attached), if a mechanic is entering the car top to perform maintenance, a means to prevent movement of the car is only required where maintenance or inspection could cause unexpected car motion. If a task will not (cannot) cause unexpected motion, there is no need to provide a means to prevent movement. NEII requests that this revert to the ASME language.

2019-02552-2



NEII would prefer deletion of this section from the WAC and following the A17.1/B44 code which has had safe requirements since 2005 for all of the equipment listed in the proposed WAC rule to be located in the hoistway. Since the 2005 edition of A17.1/B44 code, thousands of MRL installations have been installed and safely maintained for many years. The current language in WAC 296-96-02552 goes well beyond the requirements in A17.1/B44 code and it is unclear the justification for the additional requirements. According to A17 Inquiry 06-26 (attached), if a mechanic is entering the car top to perform maintenance, a means to prevent movement of the car is only required where maintenance or inspection could cause unexpected car motion. If a task will not (cannot) cause unexpected motion, there is no need to provide a means to prevent movement. NEII requests that this revert to the ASME language. Mechanics enter the pit and hoistway every day for a variety of tasks, independent of where the controller or hydraulic equipment is located. If a mechanic is going to enter the pit, using proper safety procedures for pit entry (i.e. hoistway access operation or unlocking device) the location of the controller would not matter. The same procedure would be used for MRL and non-MRL equipment, and safe access could be achieved with either type of equipment. With non-MRL equipment, movement could not be prevented prior to entering the pit, unless the mechanic went to the machine room on the top floor or roof to turn off the disconnecting means. The mechanic would not typically tag & lock-out the disconnect means unless there was a major repair or the specific task to be performed required mechanical movement mitigation. Preventing mechanical movement prior to entering a pit is unjustified, for example it is common industry practice when repairing a hydraulic jack that the mechanic would tag & lock-out the disconnecting means then enter the pit to install pipe stands to mitigate the mechanical movement regardless of an MRL or Non-MRL system. It is unclear why there is a need for additional requirements to prevent movement with an MRL system. Typically, for both MRL and non-MRL, the mechanic would open the door and then access the pit stop switch; therefore, the location of controller is irrelevant. If electrical power is removed prior to entering the hoistway, what is the justification for also requiring mechanical prevention of movement if the task to be performed could not cause unexpected car motion. Based on the thousands of installed MRL systems the need to mitigate mechanical car movement every time a mechanic enters the hoistway is unnecessary. What is the rationale for requiring it for MRL but not for entry to the hoistway to do the same task as on a non-MRL? Our understanding is that the pit entry requirement is due to a WA DOSH rule, and if it is believed additional mitigation is required, we request updates to this section to address pits but allow ASME rules for the rest of the hoistway.

NEII would prefer deletion of this section from the WAC or the changed recommended including the deletion of Items 3 &4 and following the A17.1/B44 code which has had safe requirements since 2005 for all of the equipment listed in the proposed WAC rule to be located in the hoistway. However, if it is believed that Items 3 & 4 are needed even though they are already covered in other codes, then we would recommend this change. Since the 2005 edition of A17.1/B44 code, thousands of MRL installations have been installed and safely maintained for many years. The current language in WAC 296-96-02552 goes well beyond the requirements in A17.1/B44 code and it is unclear the justification for the additional requirements.

Name: Name of Triad President Email: [email protected]

Organization: TRIAD Phone: 713 951-7481

Code Section: IBC 3003.4

Proposed Change in Legislative Format ( new words underlined deleted words struck out):

3003.4 Emergency Hoistway Water Sensor(s). Each elevator hoistway within a building shall include a water sensor installed in the hoistway below the landing of the lowest floor served by the elevator(s). The water sensor(s) shall be installed to override the elevator controls to prevent the elevator(s) and or elevator equipment from descending into flooded areas and limiting the lowest level of elevator cab travel to a designated floor until the flooding has receded. Normal operation of the elevator control systems shall require a manual reset by an elevator contractor. This code provision shall be retroactive and applicable to all existing and annexed structures having elevators.

3003.4.1 Compliance timeline for existing and annexed structures. On or before December 31, 2022, or within two years after the date of annexation of the building into the jurisdiction, each elevator hoistway shall include an emergency hoistway water sensor installed in accordance with Section 3003.4.

Exception: Existing elevator systems with water sensor(s) installed in the hoistway below the landing of the lowest floor level served that remove the elevator from service while the hoistway is flooded. A manual reset as specified by Section 3003.4 shall be installed.

Justification: Date: 10/2/2017 The current Houston amended IBC (2012) requires a water sensor to be installed within the elevator hoistway of high-rise buildings where the elevator serves a floor level located below the flood plane. However, based on an increase in frequency and severity of flood events within the Houston area an increase in life safety measures to prevent all elevators from descending into a flooded area is needed to prevent future injuries, death and property damage. At minimum cost, this addition will increase life safety for building occupants as well as first responders who may need to use an elevator during a flood event. In addition, this proposed code change will likely prevent the costly replacement of the building elevator(s) due to water damage because of descending into a flooded area.

IAEC Position Paper Should ASME A17.1/CSA B44 “Converge” with ISO 8100?

Introduction

There is currently an effort to “Converge” the European Standard EN 81-20 and EN 81-50 (ISO 8100 parts 1, 2, and 3), a performance-based lift standard, with ASME A17.1/CSA B44, the prescriptive code, in the United States and Canada. Convergence had the goal of removing barriers to trade by creating a global prescriptive standard that would be equivalent around the world, a lofty and desirable goal, provided true equivalency is achieved. It changed to be a cut and paste of EN 81-20 and EN 81-50 with little fanfare. Where one Code or Standard used in any comparison is not equivalent, it should not simply be claimed without a full review. This position paper speaks against convergence until a rewrite of both A17.1/B44 and ISO 8100 is performed that is truly equivalent in reality.

Convergence

This effort is in part the work of the ANSI ISO Committee, US TAG (Technical Advisory Group1) to TC 178, who meet in the same week as the A17 Standards Committee meeting. The Committee reported for years about the harmonization efforts and presented a plan, a roadmap, of the convergence efforts (See Figure 1). The goal of WTO (World Trade Organization) and ISO (International Standards Organization) and all ISO TAGs is to create universal Standards that remove barriers to global trade by harmonizing Codes and Standards. This by its nature affects global and international manufacturers and less so, domestic manufacturers who do not trade internationally. Therefore, the main participants are international companies and they have the highest participation on ISO committees. TAGs from around the world studied elevator Codes and Standards from around the world and determined that harmonization, finding requirements that every country would agree to, was at an impasse.

The convergence roadmap was changed in 2015 that skipped the required years of work to harmonize prescriptive Codes and Standards to simply cut and paste the performance based European Norms into a new ISO 8100, Parts 1 and 2. This happened because of the different

1 TAGs represent different countries, the US, Canada, Germany, Australia, etc. Membership must be approved by the Standards Body for that country, in the United States it is ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and in Canada the SCC (Standards Council of Canada). These Standards Bodies write the requirements that ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) and CSA (Canadian Standards Association) follow when writing a Code or Standard.

WTO rules than we are used to in the United States and Canada. The US TAG was given a ballot vote, but against 28 votes in the EU (European Union), any negative from the United States and Canada would not hold up. ISO TC’s also do not have maximum interest group limits as ANSI and CSA require, they are heavily distorted toward manufacturers.

ISO operates under the rules of the WTO after signing the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Agreement.2

The World Trade Organization (WTO) Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Agreement aims to ensure that technical regulations, standards, and conformity assessment procedures are non-discriminatory and do not create unnecessary obstacles to trade. At the same time, it recognises WTO members' right to implement measures to achieve legitimate policy objectives, such as the protection of human health and safety, or protection of the environment. The TBT Agreement strongly encourages members to base their measures on international standards as a means to facilitate trade. Through its transparency provisions, it also aims to create a predictable trading environment. … Under the TBT Agreement, WTO Members shall ensure that their central government standardizing bodies accept and comply with this Code of Good Practice, and take reasonable measures to ensure that local government, non-governmental and regional standardizing bodies also accept and comply.

The ISO US TAG to TC 1783 presented the 2014 “Roadmap” of the convergence process to the ASME A17 Standards Committee in Letter Ballot 15-859. The Roadmap provided a timeline of the Convergence of various elevator codes and standards into a new ISO 22559 Standard, one that would consider all the prescriptive differences and draft one that would be acceptable to all participating countries. The identified differences in the prescriptive requirements, with plans to discuss and harmonize them, were identified in Technical Report ISO/TR 11071. This is seen in the April 11, 2014 Roadmap in Figure 1, A17/B44 Row, Column 2. With a ballot vote of TC 178, the convergence roadmap changed in a significant way: in 2015, instead of using the harmonized prescriptive code that years of work went into, the new Standard (initially titled ISO X, Y, and Z) was numbered ISO 8100-1, 8101-2, and 8100-3. Parts 1 and 2 were then populated with EN 81-20 and 81-50 (formally known as EN 81-1 and 81-2). In other words, by a vote of TC 178, one ISO committee. The harmonization efforts were largely ignored and the complete European Norms populated them. This is illustrated in the May 13th, 2015 Roadmap, as shown in Figure 2. ISO 8100-3 was added to list the significant differences between the new ISO Standard and local Codes and Standards and ISO 22559 references were deleted from the revised roadmap.

The intent of the new structure was elaborated by TC 178 in Document WG4 - N125, TFC N154:

ISO TS 8100-3 is to be used in combination with ISO 8100-1 and ISO 8100-2 for the purpose of achieving equivalency with the requirements of ASME A17.1/CSA B44 and JIS X/Y respectively, where the scopes of ASME A17.1/CSA B44 and JIS X/Y coincide with the scope of ISO 8100-1 and

Committee 178. ISO has hundreds of Technical Committees with members being representatives of the majority of countries around the world. TC 178 is the “Elevator” technical committee.

ISO 8100-2. Equipment outside of the scope of ISO 8100-1 and ISO 8100-2 is not addressed in ISO TS 8100-3. While the scope of ISO 8100-1 and ISO 8100-2 addresses electric as well as hydraulic lifts, the current edition of ISO TS 8100-3 only addresses electric lifts (except home lifts). Future editions of ISO TS 8100-3 will address hydraulic lifts, home lifts, as well as, electric lifts.

Figure 2 - 2015 Roadmap of the Convergence Process

This vote by TC 178 illustrates, while initially touted as a harmonized global prescriptive code, the new ISO 8100 Standard is simply the European Norm EN 81 cut and pasted into an ISO version and does not cover all equipment covered within the Scope of A17.1/B44. The claim of equivalency is the goal as shown in the last column in the A17.1/B44 Row - “A17.1/B44 ~ ISO X/Y”. This means that if it is proposed and voted that ISO 8100 is equivalent to A17.1/B44 at the A17 Committee level and added to A17.1 or any other A17 Standard, all products complying with EN 81 will be arguably approved for installation in North America.

Summary

Code users who do not participate in ASME or ISO committee work in the United States and Canada should be fully apprised of this effort and its potential effects. If ISO 8100 is codified either in A17.1/B44, the model codes, by regulation, or by statute as equivalent to A17.1/B44, A17.1/B44 is essentially bypassed with the following effects:

• A17.1/B44 is a Prescriptive Code, ISO 8100 is a Performance Standard, new products will

be accompanied with Certification documents instead of Code Compliance. • A codification that ISO 8100 is equivalent would potentially allow companies to claim

European Certification is recognized in the US and Canada.


IAEC Position Paper

• Long standing prescriptive requirements will be accidentally or intentionally ignored and left to AHJs to demand proof of compliance because of dual approval schemes.

• Making technical revisions to ISO 8100 according to ANSI rules will be eliminated due to the current voting structure, the United States and Canada get 2 votes, EU countries have 28 votes with another 50 other countries primarily using EN 81 European Norms.

• The history of safety using A17.1/B44 is clear in North America, we have no safety history from the use of European designed equipment in the US and Canada given our societal and equipment differences.

• This will essentially make ASME A17.1/CSA B44 redundant and, in time, not used or recognized as global manufacturers make ever stronger cases that the European Norms are as good as our “old” codes.

• This would be a tremendous advantage to global manufacturers leaving domestic manufacturers with higher costs than mass manufactured imported products.

• There are no Interest Group limitations. In fact, TC 178 is primarily all manufacturers, unlike A17 Standards Committee where no interest category can exceed ⅓ of the total membership.

• There are significant prescriptive differences between A17.1/B44 and ISO 8100.

Conclusion This effort singly shows that if Convergence moves forward as it stands today, any further changes to its requirements by the US and Canada will not have a consensus-based chance of being changed without the majority vote of European countries. The commercial benefits of a global code should not be at the expense of how we promulgate our prescriptive code in the United States and Canada. This Position Paper recommends any further claims of equivalency to the published language in A17.1/B44 should be prevented until true equivalency is achieved. Further reading follows to provide background information.

Further Reading Brief History of United States and Canada Elevator Codes

In the United States, we have promulgated elevator Codes for over a century. As they developed, the first organized US national Code became A17.1 in 1921:

A17.1-2016/B44-16 ASME FOREWORD “The first edition of this Code was published in January 1921. It was prepared by an American

Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Committee on Protection of Industrial Workers with the assistance of representatives of a number of interests including manufacturers, insurance carriers, regulatory bodies, and technical societies.”

“This [sixteenth] edition of A17.1 [2000] was the result of a joint effort between the ASME A17

Elevator and Escalator Committee and the CSA B44 Technical Committee to harmonize requirements between the ASME A17.1, Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators, and the CSA B44, Safety Code for Elevators.

The seventeenth edition of the Code incorporated changes made in A17.1a-2002 and A17.1b-2003.

Additionally, in Sections 8.10 and 8.11, cross-references were updated to reflect ASME A17.2-2001, Guide for Inspection of Elevators, Escalators, and Moving Walks.

The eighteenth edition of the Code was a fully binational standard. All former deviations between the

ASME A17.1 Code and the CSA B44 Code were fully addressed within this one Code.

A17.1-2016/B44-16 is the twenty-first Edition of ASME A17.1/CSA B44 with only jurisdictional adoption differences. Our bi-national US/Canadian Code has served us well under the management of the ANSI Consensus process and the volunteers who have contributed to the continuing development of the prescriptive Code. Combining A17.1 and B44 also illustrates that harmonization is possible and simply requires effort to consider societal and experiential differences and ideally select the more robust requirements as a starting point.

The CSA B44 was first published shortly after in 1938:

A17.1-2016/B44-16 CSA FOREWORD This is the fourth edition of ASME A17.1/CSA B44, Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators. It

replaces the previous editions of ASME A17.1/CSA B44, published in 2013, 2010, and 2007; and the previous editions of CSA B44, published in 2004, 2000, 1994, 1990, 1985, 1975, 1971, 1966, 1960, and 1938.

This Code is the result of a joint effort by the CSA B44 Technical Committee on the Elevator Safety

Code and the ASME A17 Committee on Elevators and Escalators to harmonize the provisions of CSA B44 and ASME A17.1. This edition of ASME A17.1/CSA B44 consists of the complete ASME A17.1 Code, with additional requirements applicable only in Canadian jurisdictions. These Canadian requirements are prefaced in the body of the Code by the following: “In jurisdictions enforcing the NBCC . . .”.

CSA B44 was originally developed to facilitate the implementation of uniform legislation across

Canada and to replace the existing legislation, which had proved inadequate for prevailing elevator practices. The primary purpose of the Code is to establish minimum requirements,

suitable for adoption by regulatory authorities throughout Canada, for the design, installation, and maintenance of elevators, escalators, dumbwaiters, moving walks, and material lifts. It is also intended as a standard reference for architects, consulting engineers, elevator manufacturers, and building owners.

Adoption Processes

A17.1/B44 is an American National Standard, promulgated under the standards development rules of American National Standard Institute (ANSI).

A17.1-2016/B44-16 ASME PREFACE GENERAL This Code is one of the numerous codes and standards developed and published by The American

Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) under the general auspices of the American National Standards Institute, Inc. (ANSI).

The Code is intended to serve as the basis for the design construction, installation, operation, testing,

inspection, maintenance, alteration, and repair of elevators, dumbwaiters, escalators, moving walks, and material lifts.

Safety codes and standards are intended to enhance public health and safety. Revisions result from

committee consideration of factors such as technological advances, new data, and changing environmental and industry needs. Revisions do not imply that previous editions were inadequate.

The highlights of ANSI rules promote a consensus process where all members of industry and the public can review and comment on all proposed code changes. This process allows consensus rulings which in practice means that if there are many negative comments, the proposal will require changing until unanimity is reached or only a very few negative comments persist. Each negative comment must be addressed with reviewed responses, and only after two ballots explaining why their negatives are not being accepted within the industry’s observation can the A17 Chairman rule “consensus”. This process assures the vast majority of comments are in favor of the proposed change.

A17 Procedures for ASME Codes and Standards Development Committees Consensus … means substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected

interest categories. This signifies the concurrence of more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that an effort be made toward their resolution.

After successful technical committee balloting, there is yet a further public review by any interested stakeholder, anyone in the whole world, should they wish, can provide a comment and recommendation for change with a rationale supporting it. This comment must be addressed by the technical committee before the Code or Standard is approved for publication by ASME. Committee members must also declare an Interest Category and Committee Procedures limit the percentage of any interest Category so no one category can overwhelm the decision making.


IAEC Position Paper

8 of 24

A17 Procedures for ASME Codes and Standards Development Committees 3.2.5 Classification of Members. In order to establish balanced representation for developing

evidence of consensus on standards, consensus committee members shall be classified in accordance with the business interests of their primary source of support for committee participation. Alternates shall not be counted in determining the balance of the consensus committee. The classification system and the classifications assigned to members shall be proposed by the consensus committee, shall be subject to approval by the cognizant board, and shall be included in the supplement to the procedures. Not more than one-third of the membership of consensus committees dealing with safety codes and standards shall come from any single category without the recorded approval of the other classifications and the approval of the cognizant board.

No single category shall have a majority on consensus committees dealing with product standards

except with the recorded approval of the other classifications and the approval of the cognizant board.

In an effort to accelerate Code acceptance of new technologies, a new Performance Based Safety Code was proposed and published. After years of using A17.7/B44.7, the Performance Based Code in the US and Canada, it is clear that absent prescriptive requirements, the quality, robustness, and specific essential safety measures A17.1/B44 afforded have been inconsistent. Acceptance of A17.7/B44.7 has not been achieved in several large jurisdictions in the US. The single change that A17.7/B44.7 achieved was the bypassing of the Consensus process. New products go from Research and Development to an AECO, then into the marketplace with AHJ review only. Early discussions that these technologies would be ultimately written into the prescriptive Code have not materialized, once an AECO Certificate is issued, the goal was achieved. No full review of product except in the marketplace and the test was graded by failures in service, placing the public at potential hazard. It is clearly the intent of ANSI to provide full transparency to anyone wishing to participate in the process. Some might believe this necessitates a glacial speed to change the Code requirements, however given the safety hazards involved, assessing risks by as many participants is the ideal solution when writing and publishing a Code or Standard that has such significant safety hazards to users and workers to be considered.

Brief History of European Norms

European elevator safety codes and standards were diversified in various countries until the formation of the European Union. Early 20th century European codes were derivations of the early 1945 ASME Safety Code for Elevators, with each country translating, modifying, editing, changing, and making it their own. Then on March 25th, 1957, a Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (also referred to as the Treaty of Rome) and a Treaty on European Union (also referred to as the Treaty of Maastricht) were signed forming the constitutional basis of the European Union (EU) and created the European Economic Community (EEC). It was signed by Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and West Germany and became effective on January 1st, 1958. Today there are 28 signatory countries essentially including most all European countries. This created a single market for goods, labor, services, and capital across to the EEC's member states. It also established the European Commission (EC). In order to reduce the barriers to trade due to regulatory differences, CEN, the Comité Européen de Normalisation (European Committee for Standardization), was formed in 1962. The regulations of all goods had to be evaluated, harmonized and published in many languages. CEN Technical Committee 10 was assigned the standardization of Lifts (elevators). From the original countries, as other countries became members, they ceded their codes and standards to the new European Norms. The EN 81 series for Lifts and the EN 115 for escalators and moving walks were first published in 1994. From the EN 81 Foreword:

EN 81-1:1998+A3:2010 Foreword "After the CEN Enquiry on prEN 81-1:1994 the EU Directive on Lifts (95/16/EC) was

adopted. The requirements resulting from the essential health and safety requirements of this Directive being not taken into consideration in the draft have been summarised in the Addendum prA1:1996 to prEN81-1:1994 and submitted to the members of CEN/TC 10 for approval. Having received the approval this Addendum has been incorporated into this standard taking into account the comments received from TC members.”

EN 81-1 and EN 81-2 were renumbered to EN 81-20 and EN 81-50 respectively in 2014 in addition to adding significant changes to try to harmonize with some A17.1 requirements in the A3 corrigendum (addenda). Items such as Uncontrolled Car Movement and Ascending Car Overspeed Protection were featured in this change. These prescriptive changes were in spirit, part of the original convergence roadmap and within the principle of considering the most robust requirements a minimum after review by all parties.

Adoption Processes

Distinct from a consensus process in the US and Canada, CEN TC 10 does not require a substantial majority of agreement, it is by simple majority that requirements become a European Norm. Additionally, the basis for the harmonization of such diverse Codes in all the EU countries was the use of a “Performance Based Methodology” to write requirements. Given the lack of interest category limitations, the ability to go from research and development to market with a Notified Body acceptance allows many designs that would be disallowed by a prescriptive Code requirements in the US and Canada.

Product Certification

A significant difference in product certification compliance exists in the EU from the US and Canada. "CE" (Conformité Européenne) marking originated in 1985. The CE marking is a symbol of free marketability in the European Economic Area (Internal Market). Products manufactured outside the EU to be sold into the EU must also be certified with a CE mark. For example North American products that are sold in the EU must also have a CE mark. This one-way barrier will not change, adding layers of certification to US and Canadian manufacturers, in addition to North American certification requirements. In order to obtain a CE mark, the manufacturer must be ISO 9000 compliant, design the product, perform a risk assessment, submit the application to a “Notified Body”; companies that review the application and, in some cases, physically test the function of the product. This is not how typical certification works in the US and Canada. In A17.1/B44, Section 8.3 defines what components are required to be listed and the specific testing requirements defined by the Code writers. US and Canadian Listing and Labeling would not be recognized in the EU. There are over 100 Notified Bodies in the EU, these include recognized organizations such as TUV, Liftinstituut, Underwriters Laboratories, and many others. One frailty of this system is the shopping around to different Notified Bodies; if one NB rejects a product, it is not unheard of that a manufacturer will continue looking for a NB that will certify or accept the design. The A17.7/B44.7 Performance Based Code utilized Accredited Elevator/Escalator Certification Organizations (AECOs) that essentially do what Notified Bodies in Europe do; review a Code Compliance Document, review Risk Assessments, then decide if equivalency to the prescriptive requirements of A17.1/B44 has been achieved. This process has already proven to be inconsistent and is now considered essentially a new avenue to design something non-compliant with A17.1/B44 and then have it “approved” by the AECO to begin selling and installing where A17.7/B44.7 has been adopted.

Global Experience

For over 20 years, the major global manufacturing companies have successfully lobbied countries around the world to adopt EN 81.

Figure 3 - 1995 and 2005 Global Codes The adopted codes around the world today show the only countries not adopting the EN 81 are the United States, Canada, and Japan according to TC 178.

Figure 4 - The Expansion of EN 81 According to TC 178 in 2015 China was convinced to adopt EN 81 and discovered they were not members of CEN and therefore did not have direct influence when requesting changes to meet their unique market demands. China was installing 200,000 units a year and in the last 15 years they have exceeded 5 million installed units and were finding growing problems on many levels. Faced

with being the largest user of the European Norm yet not given a seat at the CEN table to directly influence proposed changes for their market caused China to start to withdraw from using EN 81. The frustration China was feeling was then mollified when the major companies determined that the solution would be to convince China and other countries that the ISO Code solved the problem of having a seat at the table of code writers. Whether China is aware of their still limited participation because of the voting blocks, the EU has 28 votes and just like the United States, China has only one vote, it will be apparent eventually. It becomes clear that the dispersion of EN 81 as a CEN controlled document was unpalatable, so the same players strategized that making EN 81 the new ISO 8100 gave an impression of some control and instead of a harmonized prescriptive code, it was a simple cut and paste of the European Norm. China recently formed an ASME A17 International Working Group to begin the use of A17.1/B44 in their required efforts to provide Maintenance, Inspection and Testing direction to their industry. This is as a result of the Chinese Government implementing a National Emergency Law in order to reduce the catastrophic incidents now occurring. Their research and conclusion was that a lack of knowledge, experience, and code direction existed and needed to be attended to. A17.1/B44 fulfills all of China’s needs, a design, Maintenance, Repair, Replacements, Alteration, Testing, and Inspection Document that they now have a seat at the A17 Committee and all subcommittees. This has been an ongoing effort that formally came to pass in May of 2018 at the opening ceremonies at the World Elevator Exposition in Shanghai China.

Specific Examples of Differences between A17.1/B44 and ISO 8100 Examples of differences between A17.1/B44 and ISO 8100-1are shown here for reference. There are many more, these are a select few:

MAINTENANCE

A17.1-2016/B44-16 SECTION 8.6 MAINTENANCE, REPAIR, REPLACEMENT, AND TESTING Section 8.6 applies to maintenance,

repairs, replacements, and testing. Maintenance, repair, and replacement shall be performed to provide compliance with the Code applicable at the time of installation or alteration.

NOTES: (1) See Section 8.7 for alteration requirements. (2) See “General” in Preface for assignment of responsibilities. ISO/DIS 8100-1-2016 7.2.3 Maintenance The instruction manual shall be in accordance with EN 13015. It shall inform about the identification

and use of the special tools.

A significant difference is the lack of Maintenance requirements in the ISO 8100 itself, it references another European Norm, EN 13015. A read of EN 13015 shows a more performance based methodology to establish the intervals, the durations, and includes language to reduce the duration of maintenance to reduce the downtime, an absolute justification to reduce maintenance time. Under the control of CEN, any changes to it EN 13015 would be dictated outside the US and Canada.

MACHINE ROOM FLOOR STRENGTH

A17.1-2016/B44-16 2.1.3.2 Strength of Floor. Overhead floors shall be capable of sustaining a concentrated load of 1

000 N (225 lbf) on any 2 000 mm2 (3 in.2) area, and in addition, where it constitutes the floor of the main or secondary level machinery space, it shall be designed for a live load of not less than 6 kPa (125 lbf/ft2) in all open areas.

Where the elevator driving machine is to be supported solely by the machine room floor slab, the floor slab shall be designed in accordance with 2.9.4 and 2.9.5.

ISO/DIS 8100-1-2016 5.2.1.8 Strength of walls, floors and ceilings 5.2.1.8.1 The structure of the well, machinery spaces and pulley rooms shall conform to National

Building Regulations and be able to support at least the loads which may be applied by the machine, by the guide rails at the moment of safety gear operation, in the case of eccentric load in the car, by the action of the buffers, by those which may be applied by the anti-rebound device, by loading and unloading the car, etc.. See also E.1.

A17.1/B44 is primarily a prescriptive code, though efforts are in place to draft new proposals using more performance based language. The difference between the two styles are exemplified in the floor strength example. Explicit design values versus an assumption that the values will be properly supplied when designing the room floor strength.

FIRE TESTING OF HOISTWAY DOORS

A17.1-2016/B44-16 8.3.4 Entrance Fire Type Tests 8.3.4.1 Test of Entrance Assemblies, Horizontally Sliding and Swinging Types and Vertically

Sliding Types 8.3.4.1.1 In jurisdictions enforcing the NBCC, the fire protection rating of entrances and doors shall be

determined in accordance with the requirements specified in the NBCC. Requirement 8.3.4.1.2 does not apply.

8.3.4.1.2 In jurisdictions not enforcing the NBCC, test of elevator horizontal slide-type and swing type entrance assemblies and tests of elevator and dumbwaiter vertical slide-type entrance assemblies shall be conducted in accordance with UL 10B, or NFPA 252. Test entrance assemblies shall be constructed in accordance with Section 2.11.

ISO/DIS 8100-1-2016 5.3.5.2 Behaviour under fire conditions Landing doors shall comply with the regulations relevant to the fire protection for the building

concerned. EN 81-58 or ISO 3008-2 shall be applied for the testing and certification of such doors.

A17.1/B44 requires the UL 10B type test which includes a hose stream test, this is not required by EN 81-58. Under the control of CEN, any changes to it EN 81-58 would be dictated outside the US and Canada.

DOOR STRENGTH

A17.1-2016/B44-16 2.11.13.3.5 Panels and their assembled accessories shall (a) be capable of withstanding a force on the handle of not less than 450 N (100 lbf) in the opening

direction of a closed and locked door. There shall be no permanent displacement or deformation of the handle or the door panel resulting from this force.

(b) conform to 2.11.11.5.7. (c) not be permanently displaced or deformed by more than 20 mm (0.75 in.) when the panel is

subjected to a force of 5 000 N (1,125 lbf) in the direction of the hoistway, applied at right angles to the panel over an area of 300 mm x 300 mm (12 in.x 12 in.) at the approximate center of the panel.

ISO/DIS 8100-1-2016 5.3.5.2 Mechanical strength 5.3.5.2.1 Complete landing doors, with their locks, and car doors shall have a mechanical strength

such that in the locked position of landing doors and closed position of car doors: a) When a force of 300 N, being evenly distributed over an area of 5 cm2 in round or square section,

is applied at right angles to the panel/frame at any point on either face they shall resist without: 1) Permanent deformation (e.g. less than 1 mm); 2) Elastic deformation greater than 15 mm; After such a test the safety function of the door shall not be affected.

b) when a static force of 1000 N, being evenly distributed over an area of 100 cm² in round or square section, is applied at right angles at any point of the panel or frame from the landing side for landing doors or from the inside of the car for car doors they shall resist without significant permanent deformation affecting functionality and safety (See 5.3.1.4 [max. clearance 10 mm] and 5.3.9.1).

Asserting equivalence when A17.1/B44 doors must not permanently deform when 2,500 N (562 lbf) is applied compared to EN 81-20 doors that must not permanently deform when 1,000 N [225 lbf] is applied is clearly not equivalent. Task Force members of ISO TC 178 developed tables of differences between the Codes, one from Mr. George Gibson, former Chairman of the Mechanical Design Committee, is shown below. This table identifies significant prescriptive differences with suggestions of doing nothing or actively pursuing changes to harmonize the Codes. With the advent of the cut and paste of EN 81 into ISO 8100, these future changes are now left to the vast EU majority to accept or deny without any consensus.

Background Information 1. The International Standards Organization (ISO) has been in existence since 1945 and

many harmonized Standards have been created 2. The convergence effort has been going on for 20 years, led by Otis, Kone, and Schindler.

Thyssenkrupp has not been an avid supporter but they are not actively fighting the effort. 3. In approximately 2015, ISO 8100 Parts 1 and 2 were created in the ISO family of

standards and is essentially a cut and paste of EN 81-20 and EN 81-50. 4. ISO 8100 Part 3 will be a document of national variances, however since Parts 1 and 2

are more performance based, the Part 3 prescriptive differences will likely be ignored by the Eurocentric manufacturers, there will be a loss of context to basic prescriptive requirements replaced by performance requirements.

5. ISO 8100 Part 3 is still in development in TC 178 and will be completed within 3 years most likely.

6. In order to be an “Equivalent” standard, it must be written into the Building Code or in A17.1/B44, similar to A17./B44.7, the Performance Based Code, or be added to A17.7/B44.7. ASME is on record as saying in meetings they will not claim it is equivalent.

7. Once a Code or Standard in the US has this language, the barn will be open and the horses will be out and gone. Equipment will be manufactured to the ISO 8100 Standard and the companies will argue it is allowed by Code.

8. With the power of the Major Companies to push, cajole, lobby, and influence the marketplace, it precedes the elimination of A17.1/B44.

9. ISO does not comply with the ANSI rules for consensus writing as ASME promulgates standards, changes will have to go through TC 178.

10. ISO TC 178, the Committee who would promulgate the Standard, it is a Eurocentric body consisting of 28 countries who have votes, whereas the US and Canada have only one vote each at that table. Therefore, the US and Canada lose all control of the North American standard to the European Union.

11. China tried using EN 81, were told they could not effect changes to the European Norm because they were not a member of CEN, the EU body that promulgates the EN Standards. 12. China then decided to hitch their wagon to ISO and found they were one country at a table of 28 European countries and they were again disappointed given their population and quantity of conveyances they install and have installed.

13. For the last 15 years, China has visited US and Canadian elevator groups and have now decided to implement A17.1 by forming the first ASME A17 International Working Group (IWG).

14. IAEC has firmly decided to publicly support ASME A17.1/CSA B44 and begin informing the elevator industry of these proposed impending changes, supporting a position AGAINST “Convergence" as the major companies are implementing it.

15. The proper methodology should have been to take the most robust requirements of all Codes and Standards and used that as a starting point for an ISO 8100 draft, not simply cut and paste the EN 81-20 and EN 81-50 language and start with that as a basis.

16. IAEC drafted a position paper that will distributed to ASME, Every AHJ and RA, Elevator World, NAESA, NAEC, and any/all industry related groups who are stakeholders in the elevator industry.

A brief history of the ISO Committee actions.

2009 - There is a Task Group on convergence (Res 269) which trying to get resolution on items that are not in total alignment (door locks, buffers, safeties, etc…) in three major three Codes: A17/B44, EN 81, and relevant Japanese Codes.

2010 - Task Force on Convergence is trying to converge A17/B44, EN and Japanese Codes.

Working on 5 systems: safeties, braking systems, buffers, governors and door locks. The results and proposals of the Task Force will be forwarded to national bodies for recommended revisions to be considered.

2010 - Add harmonized prescriptive text as proposed wherever possible to facilitate convergence. 2011 - The Task Force on Convergence is trying to get major national codes to become more

harmonized. Several documents with Task Force recommendations were distributed to various A17 Working Committees. Attachment 4 contains the summary recommendation of the Task Force for A17 Committee consideration. Detailed documents were distributed to the various A17 Working Committees, based upon requirements affected.

2012 - WG4 continues to work on convergence within ISO under TR11071 which has been

updated but instead of revising further WG4 is developing a comparison document to the specific components of three major standards (A17.1/B44, EN81 and Japan). There were 5 components that were reviewed by A17 Task Groups of several A17 Working Committees. The results of all the various Task Groups are being combined into a report to be published. This escalator document is ISO/TR 14799-1:2012(E), available from ISO.

A quote from an ISO document regarding A17.1. Clearly A17.1 is a much more prescriptive

Safety Code than is being claimed to the ISO community. In ISO/DTR 14799-3 (2012), the Draft Technical Report (DTR) answers questions of ISO members. Here are a sampling for reference:

ISO/DTR 14799-2 (2012) 3.1.1.6 Is EN 115-1 a performance or a design standard? EN 115-1 has to be considered as a minimum requirement for safe operation of escalators

and moving walks. 3.1.2.6 Is A17.1 a performance or a design standard? The A17.1 code is developed as a performance standard under the procedures established

by the ASME. Because of the unique nature of the industry, some rules are of a design nature, but efforts are continually underway to replace them with performance language.

To make a claim that A17.1/B44 has an “effort ..to replace [design requirements] to

performance language.” may be a view of some members in TC 178, but not all members.

2013 - WG4 is still working on convergence document. Most of comparison work has been

completed. It is planning to publish an appendix within the GESP document to provide explanation on how to comply with factors of safety as well as EN use of “good engineering practice”

There will be a report provided on the status of agreements with respect to items that there

may be additional convergence versus areas that could not converge. In addition, descriptions will be provided to explain the differences.

2014 - The Report on Convergence was completed and is to be balloted as a technical report.

Commentary on ISO Committee actions.

“I'm dubious about this being a benefit to the US. The inclusion of EN 81 20/50 as an ISO

Standard effectively throws A17 under the bus! I think the A17 International Standards Committee should be balloted. I recently prepared a brief comparison of A17 vs. EN 81 20/50 which was distributed to the WG4. This comparison clearly shows the inadequacy of EN 81 20/50 in connection with structural and mechanical design as compared to A17.” George Gibson, Chair of the Mechanical Design Committee for 29 years.

Response to Commentary on ISO Committee actions.

“Thanks for your email relating to the development of an ISO Prescriptive Standard. I certainly

appreciate your concern and input. … Let me say up front that there is no way I would sanction A17 being “thrown under the bus”. I

strongly emphasized the concerns that you raised to the TFC and will make WG4 aware of these concerns as well next week. It is important that all parties are clear that any recommendations have to be taken back to National Committees. The work item assigned to WG 4 TFC [Task Force on Convergence] to develop recommendations for an ISO prescriptive standard has been proceeding for some time. The work done in support of convergence of safety components etc. facilitates the gradual process towards harmonization as well as the development of an ISO prescriptive standard. Some major countries would rather use an ISO standard where they have an opportunity for direct input to the outcome, rather than a standard such as EN 81. The TFC has been exploring various approaches that will meet the needs of all stakeholders including current users of EN 81, A17/B44 and BSLJ/JIS. One approach that appears workable is to create a set of documents covering the needs of users of these major standards. This would comprise documents [ISO 22559 6/7, (hereafter Parts 6/7)] based on EN 81 20/50 and a document [ISO 22559-8, (hereafter Part 8)] addressing A17.1/B44 and BSLJ/JIS, all documents being published simultaneously. Part 8 would contain A17.1/B44 Section, Requirement and Reference numbers only (not Code language) that have to be met in addition to, or in lieu of, requirements in Parts 6/7, in order to comply with A17.1/B44. It would thus be necessary for the user to purchase a copy of ASME A17.1/B44 in order to understand and comply with the ISO documents.

This approach certainly helps users outside of North America who wish to design their products

for all markets. It also helps users within North America to produce products for a world market. Moreover, it will increase the demand for copies of A17.1/B44 as this is necessary to enter the North American market. It will also showcase the A17.1/B44 Code as being the most comprehensive in the world as indicated by the extra requirements needed to meet this Code. There would be no dilution of A17.1/B44 requirements, and there would be a tendency to move towards the more stringent requirements of A17.1/B44 as the benefits of visible parameters such as Factor of Safety values become more evident.

The adoption and enforcement of A17.1/B44 is on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis and there certainly is no need, nor any obligation to adopt an ISO standard. Any product deployed

in North America will have to meet A17.1/B44. Naturally this proposal will be discussed with, and balloted by, the International Standards Committee.

.… I deeply respect ASME as an organization and I strongly support the A17.1/B44 Code and the process used in its development. My commitment to ASME and the Code has been, and always will be, an unalienable part of me. I hope the US TAG will appreciate the long term benefits of the forgoing approach and support the effort going forward. If however it is deemed unwise to proceed in this manner, I will represent the committee’s position faithfully.” by Lou Bialy, Chair of ISO US TAG to TC 178.

2015 - TC 178 made the following Proposal and sent it to ballot. No longer was the new ISO Code to be based on the more robust differences between Codes and Standards, the proposition became the ISO 8100 series would be a cut and paste of EN 81 20/50. This was balloted in the AMSE C&S Ballot System, Letter Ballot 15-859. Interestingly the ISO Committee responses were not published online, their responses are reprinted below. Proposal for a roadmap for EN81-20/50 to become ISO X and ISO Y Proposed roadmap and its deliverables for development of ISO X [ISO 8100-1], ISO Y [ISO

8100-2], and ISO Z [ISO 8100-3]. Phase 2 - Specific actions for North America Commence the process of convergence of the ASME A17.1/CSA B44 standard with ISO X

[ISO 8100-1] and ISO Y [ISO 8100-2] where the scopes overlap. This would be accomplished by identifying items from the ISO/TS Z [ISO 8100-3] which might be incorporated in the revision processes of ASME A17.1/CSA B44 and ISO X [ISO 8100-1] and ISO Y [ISO 8100-2] to reduce any divergence.

Main Action(s) of phase 2:

a) ISO/TC 178 to decide to amend the ISO standards b) ISO/TC 178 proposes VA, Parallel Approval Process, CEN/TC 10 lead c) CEN/TC 10 to accept ISO proposal d) CEN/TC 10 to invite ISO experts to join the work e) Amendment is limited to the list of “items” agreed in advance f) Basically, regional TS remains as it is g) CEN/TC 10 to adopt ISO as EN ISO standards and withdraw EN 81-20/50 (with a 2-

year transition period) Phase 3 - Specific actions for North America USA and Canada will continue the convergence process by aligning the content of ASME

A17.1/CSA B44 and ISO X [ISO 8100-1] and ISO Y [ISO 8100-2], where the scopes overlap, thus reducing the content of ISO TS Z [ISO 8100-3].

Main Action(s) of phase 3:

a) ISO TC 178 to decide to revise the ISO standards b) ISO/TC 178 to decide whether to request CEN/TC 10 to lead the revision c) Main objective of the revisions is to reduce regional differences through solutions that

satisfy all parties involved

The following comments and responses to an ISO Committee Ballot on the roadmap are self-explanatory.

RESPONSES TO COMMENTS RECEIVED ON LB 859 - May 2015

US TAG SUMMARY: Approved: 11; Disapproved: 1; Not Returned: 3 KoshakJ (Disapproved) Comment 1: While I am for globalization, it should not be at the expense of A17.1/B44 ceding its experience and history of safety to ISO. Offering a performance based ISO Standard as equivalent to a prescriptive based A17.1/B44 is incorrect and the ballot commenters should be made aware of this. Comment 2: No evidence has been offered relating the science of societal levels of risk and therefore the societal acceptance of accidents when determining what code or standard to follow. It has been my experience the societal level of risk is low in the US and higher elsewhere in the world, therefore we have traditionally used a more prescriptive oriented code. Absent some commentary from the proposers of this new roadmap on this topic, I cannot support this change absent clear risk comparison including accident statistics from other areas using EN 81 codes. Comment 3: It is my experience that EN 81 is much more performance based than A17.1/B44, yet in the 'Background' of the supporting documents, it infers the "ISO Prescriptive Code based on EN 81" would be more prescriptive than I believe a North American Code stakeholders appreciate. It is not prescriptive and to infer that it is is incorrect in my experience. In fact the justification for A17.7 was to align with the performance based EN Norms, such as the EN 81 series on Standards. Any ISO standard based on EN 81 will, by default, be less prescriptive than A17.1/B44, this should be more transparent to commenters. Where are the results of WG 4 study to develop an ISO Prescriptive Code? Please provide the study contents, what questions were pursued, what countries were asked, the results of ISO balloting and their comments and responses. Comment 4: In ’The Process’, the proposers mention EN 81 as a “major prescriptive standard”. In my experience it is much less prescriptive than A17.1 or even AS 1735 in Australia, a major code in Australia but apparently not in the roadmap process. If the proposed ISO standard is characterized as a prescriptive standard, then it should be based on the more prescriptive stand, A17.1/B44. Comment 5: In ‘Benefits of the Proposal’, the proposers state “This will assist users … embrace a global market.

1) A17.1/B44 will not be ceding anything to ISO. Participation in ISO has led to the sharing of experience so that all elevators everywhere can be made safer. Compatibility of the ISO Standard with A17.1/B44 will require that Part Z be met. Part Z will identify any differences between Parts X/Y and A17.1/B44. 2) This proposal does not require any change to the current A17.1/B44 Code. Future convergence of requirements will be subject to the approval of the Standards Committee consistent with current practice. There is no validity to the assumption that societal risk acceptance levels are lower in the US than the other areas using EN81 codes. Indeed US consumers readily drive European made cars and fly in European made aircraft. EN 81-20 also requires Type Testing of Governors and Safeties while A17.1/B44 does not. 3) The EN 81 Code is recognized as a prescriptive Code around the world in that it contains distinct and discrete requirements that can be readily adopted into regulation. Quantified values are specified for clearances, refuge space, retardation values, electrical shock prevention, falling, tripping and hazard protection similar to requirements in A17.1/B44. The A17.7/B44.7 Performance Based Code is based on ISO Global Essential Safety Requirements which are permissive statements whose applications require compliance with a defined structured verification process. The A17.7/B44.7 Code provides a similar purpose to the Essential Safety requirements of the Lifts Directive and is in no way related to EN 81. 4) Standards Australia recognize the EN 81 and A17.1/B44 Codes as well as the AS 1735 as Prescriptive Standards that meet Australian requirements for Safety. The roadmap recognizes that most Codes in use in the world today are aligned with one of the three standards addressed. (See also response to Comment 3) 5) The main reasons for the widespread adoption of standards in alignment with EN 81 was that it

This is not a safety concern, it is purely a commercial concern using standardization to further commercial interests of globally oriented manufacturers. It does not improve safety, the primary reason for Codes and Standards. Unless the benefits include an improvement in safety, this effort should not be pursued. Comment 6: In the ‘Implications for Europe’ section, the proposers state that Code changes “will ultimately be dictated by worldwide rather than European consensus.”. In my experience, this is not true. The ISO community is stocked with individual EU countries, versus one US representative. While other countries are also members, the participation at the ISO level is expensive and members primarily are from the same globally oriented companies who can afford this participation. Therefore it will not be dictated by an diverse group, but simply by the companies wishing to further their commercial interests and the chance for a US voice will be lost entirely; as it is today. Comment 7: In the ‘Implications for North America’ section, the proposers state “Opportunities for enhancement of safety will become more evident.”. This is vague and misleading, in my experience it does mean enhancements to strengthen codes where necessary will be more evident as the taillights of the global train to make export less prescriptive products “Code Compliant” and the US will be at a loss to manage the code altogether. Comment 8: It should not be without notice that most ultra high-rise buildings design elevators to A17.1/B44 around the world. This is not an accident, I suggest the ISO Committee interview international consultants on why they opt for A17 codes over the EN 81 codes. Commenters to this ballot should have all voices heard when making the decision to accept or not accept the proposal

improved safety in areas that did not have strong local Codes. The ISO Standard will improve safety by avoiding local deviations as all stakeholders have a say in the outcome. Convergence will continue subject to approval of the standards committee. 6) Most countries that are likely to adopt the ISO Code are already using Standards aligned with the EN 81 Code. The impetus for an ISO Code is mainly coming from regulators in major countries who wish to have a direct say and vote in the Standards they adopt. The ISO process will afford them that participation and access to the balloting process for those not able to attend meetings personally. It will broaden the input and participation immensely. 7) The US will have a voice and a vote in Parts X/Y, which is an improvement over the present situation. In recent ISO meetings delegates from China, Japan, S. Korea, India, Israel, Australia, South Africa, US, Canada have been in regular attendance. Many of these have been representatives from Government based enforcing authorities. Part Z of the ISO documents will highlight differences between Parts X/Y and the A17.1/B44 Code. The convergence process will facilitate more of the requirements from Part Z being included in Parts X/Y. The A17.1/B44 Code will remain as a stand-alone Code indefinitely and will have to be complied with as it is today. US participation provides an opportunity to address safety concerns. 8) Most ultra-high-rise buildings are being erected in China and other parts of the Asia Pacific area where EN81 aligned Codes are in place. In some areas of the world, such as Dubai, EN 81 and A17.1/B44 are accepted by the Enforcing Authorities, thus elevators complying with these Codes are being installed. Given an option, consultants are more likely to specify the Code with which they are more familiar.

A17 Standards Committee, RAC, NIRG, CSA B44 R&C BegueD (Comment) I would prefer not to have to use an elevator code that has been modified to work for the whole world. I think

Some countries have adopted A17.1/B44. There is no requirement for North American based

other countries should adopt ASME A17.1 if they desire to.

Enforcing Authorities to adopt an ISO Standard. They will continue to use the A17.1/B44 Code as before.

FilipponeJ (Comment) 1. The action requested in the cover letter pertaining to the proposal is to look towards the long term in providing feedback. Taking the long term view, in my opinion this proposal will result in effect the Europeans having EN 81 adopted where they have not been able to do so in the past, the other countries (besides Japan and the USA/Canada) will get a voice in the future of the ISO standard (which is actually the EN 81 20/50 standards) where they have not been able to do so in the past and the USA will get the A17 elevator sections reduced to in effect EN 81 20/50 (disguised as an ISO standard) and in the process lose effective control. This doesn’t seem like much in it for the USA/Canada. 2. A17.1 is a safety code. It is not a commercial promotion standard. As such, the goal should be to promote safety not to make it secondary to commercial concerns and political compromise. As stated in the A17 Purpose: “The purpose of this Code is to provide for the safety of life and limb, and to promote the public welfare.” This should be our guiding principle. It is the general opinion that elevators designed to EN81 standards are less robust than elevators designed to A17.1. We should aspire to improve safety, not offer it up on the altar of commerce 3. The general opinion is that safety has suffered since many of the EN 81 concepts have been incorporated into A17.1. Of course there have been improvements in safety by adopting certain EN 81 requirements. The point is there has to be a focus on safety and the requirements that objectively increase safety should be adopted. 4. Without accident statistics, the determination as to which requirements are the best for safety is subjective. Therefore, accident injury statistics (aggregated to protect anonymity) must be collected and used to make objective decisions. Accident statistics in EU countries for injuries caused by elevator accidents to my knowledge is very rare. The only one that I know of is a EUTI report, which makes it the standard by default. It is very troubling to know that the EN 81 standards have resulted in less safety for workers. 5. I would be in favor of making an objective comparison of the differences between EN 81 20/50 and A17.1 (aka ISO X/Y/Z), but then both ISO and A17.1 adopting those superior safety requirements.

1) The EN 81 Code is already adopted or aligned with in most of the world. The ISO Prescriptive Code gives other countries a say and vote that they don’t have at present. The A17.1/B44 code will remain as a stand-alone Code enforced in North America. Part Z of the ISO standard will give those wishing to comply with A17.1/B44 an indication of how to do so. 2) Opportunities for enhanced safety will be provided by the convergence process looking forward. Differences in Part Z will help to show where improvements can be made to Parts X and Y. 3) All safety requirements in A17.1/B44 were approved by the consensus process of A17 procedures. This process of approval of any changes will continue in the future. 4) Code development occurs as a result of the experience base of all the stakeholders in the committee. Accident information and other pertinent factors form part of the experience base and expertise provide by the members. 5) The ISO X, Y and Z documents will provide an opportunity for a valid comparison between the different requirements. The convergence process will provide an opportunity to improve safety levels in ISO X/Y as well as A17.1/B44

6. The proposed roadmap is probably the surest way to have many USA jurisdictions not adopting future revisions to A17.1 that follow this roadmap. This will lead to more deviations than less 7. From the point of view from a building owner this will make it more difficult to accept products specified to A17.1. Currently products are designed to meet EN standards and imported into the USA and they do not meet the applicable codes (e.g. building, fire). This roadmap seems likely to result in this becoming the norm instead of the exception.

6) A17.1/B44 will continue to evolve as it has in the past. The roadmap only assists in giving higher visibility to areas that can potentially affect safety. No changes will occur without going through the consensus process. 7) The A17.1/B44 Code as published and adopted by the various Jurisdictions will remain the Code to be met as it is today.

WithamD (Comment) I support any changes to code which have the objective of improving safety. Harmonization and standardization are commercial objectives and have no place being considered by A17.

The ISO Prescriptive Code in no way changes A17.1/B44 Requirements. No changes to the A17.1/B44 Code can occur without going through the A17 consensus process. The convergence process may facilitate more of the requirements from Part Z being included in Parts X/Y, to address safety concerns.

GardinerC (Comment) Date Posted: 05/06/15 I am in agreement with Mr. Koshak's comments

See response to Mr. Koshak.

KosinskiG (Comment) Date Posted: 05/05/15 1. This ballot states that Road-map (N887) is being balloted for approval? Please clarify as it appears to be a review and comment ballot. Thank you. 2. Will ASME provide copies of EN 81-20 and EN 81-50 to those being balloted to provide the information necessary to make comparisons?

1) This is a US TAG ballot with a courtesy review and comment provided to A17 Standards Committee, NIRG and RAC. 2) No. This is an ISO item, not ASME. Therefore, ASME will not provide complimentary copies.

3005.2 Venting. Elevator machine rooms, machinery spaces that contain the driving machine, and control rooms or spaces that contain the operation or motion controller for elevator operation shall be provided with an independent ventilation or air-conditioning system to protect against the overheating of the electrical equipment. The system shall be capable of maintaining temperatures within the range established for the elevator equipment.

Exception: An independent ventilation or air-conditioning system is not required for the machinery or control spaces where the temperature in those spaces is maintained within the established range through a normal exchange of air between those spaces and the building environment, e.g., elevator running in a hoistway on normal operation with doors in operation.

Justification: An independent ventilation or air-conditioning system would not be practical in a space where the air is being constantly exchanged with that in the building environment. In most cases, where the equipment is in the hoistway or pit (machinery or control spaces), the equipment cooling system along with the normal air exchange between the hoistway and building environment will be adequate to maintain the temperature of the equipment within the specified range. If the normal exchange or air is inadequate to maintain the temperature, then this exception would not apply requiring an independent ventilation means for these spaces.


NEII Policy Issues & Positions Document DRAFT: March 8, 2019

Restrictions on Equipment (general) The choice of the “right” elevator for different consumers depends on numerous factors including use, height, number of landings, speed,cost, etc. Manufacturers design equipment specifically to comply with applicable safety codes. Code-compliant equipment should be acceptable for use in all AHJs (Authorities Having Jurisdiction); no design, technology or type of elevator should be eliminated as an option when it meets industry standards.

MRL restrictions (specific) The machine room-less elevator (MRL) represents the state of the art in current building transportation design. Architects, developers, owners, and interior designers appreciate the design freedom of an MRL system, which allows additional-living or office space, parking, a helicopter pad, etc.

MRLs were introduced to the world in approximately 1996 and to North America in approximately 2005. Since 2005, industry and OSHA data correlate a growth in MRL elevator sales with a decline in OSHA recordable and lost time accident rates. In 2017, MRLs made up appromixatley 76% of all new elevators sold including complete modifications; today there are more than one million MRL elevators operating across the globe.

Destination dispatch (specific) New technology is available to load elevator passengers according to their destination and avoid unnecessary stops. These systems can move people more efficiently, reduce energy consumption, and improve a building’s security and function for its tenants. The innovation enhances a rider’s experience by offering intuitive controls that users of modern mobile technology have come to expect.

PROMOTING CHOICE FOR CONSUMERS: NEII supports the adoption of the latest safety-tested technologies and will advocate for consumers’ choice in the use of code-compliant elevator and escalator designs and equipment.

Elevator Reliability More than 98 percent of elevators that go out of service are back in operation within 24-hours. A small percentage of elevators might be shutdown for extended time periods for numerous reasons, including but not limited to modernization, construction, water or fire damage, obsolete technology, aviability of parts, and/or circumstances out of the contractor’s control. Mandating reliability requirements in an effort to rush units back into service is untenable and unrealsistic.

SUPPORTING CODE REQUIREMENTS: NEII supports the required documentation included in ASME A17.1 (i.e., maintenance logs, etc.) and does not support additional, unnecessary maintenance verifications or reporting.


Remote Interaction Remote interaction (i.e., remote functionality) operates at the intersection of safety and innovation, and was created specifically to protect riders and elevator workers. Remote interaction covers a wide range of topics that can also safeguard the equipment, reduce maintenance and repair costs, and correct issues before they may otherwise result in equipment being taken out of service. This technology has been in use for decades to provide important operational data to service companies and identify potential problems, so they can be addressed efficiently. The elevator mechanic has complete control of the elevator and its movement while he/she is on site, and that control cannot be overridden remotely.

ALLOWING REMOTE TECHNOLOGIES: NEII supports the use of remote technologies for equipment monitoring, diagnostics, communications, intervention, and other functions that can be undertaken safely.

Licensing State licensing requirements set minimum standards for the training, education and proficiency of elevator mechanics, inspectors and contractors to help ensure the safety of conveyance equipment for workers and the riding public. The elevator industry has a rigorous training and education program for union mechanics through the National Elevator Industry Education Program (NEIEP) approved by the U.S. Department of Labor. NEII collaborates with labor organizations to secure the adoption of licensing requirements that reflect these high standards across the nation.

ENCOURAGING INDUSTRY LICENSING: NEII supports state licensing requirements for contrators, inspectors and mechanics. Elevator contractors should be required to employ licensed mechanics and possess appropriate liability coverage. Elevator inspectors should be QEI-certified. Elevator mechancis should have education, training and experience consistent with the National Elevator Industry Educational Program and industry apprenticeship standards.

Collective Bargaining Agreement The elevator industry has one of the only labor-management contracts in the U.S. that operates nationally instead of locally The National Elevator Bargaining Association (“NEBA”) and the International Union of Elevator Constructors (IUEC) enter into a collective bargaining agreement (“CBA”) every five years on behalf of all signatory companies and nearly all local unions, with the exception of New York City, to set parameters such as scope of work, wages, benefits, etc. The most recent CBA went into effect on July 9, 2017 and expires on July 8, 2022.

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING SHOULD BE PROTECTED: NEII supports the industry’s labor-management collective bargaining agreement (CBA) and will oppose policy or regulations that might impact the integrity of the CBA.


Energy Efficiency and Sustainability The elevator industry is a leader in sustainability and energy efficiency. Innovative technologies in the industry allow manufacturers to maximize space and reduce energy usage. Energy-efficient motors, MRLs, destination(?) dispatch systems and other alternatives can be installed to support a sustainable design.

PROMOTING ENERGY EFFICIENCY: NEII supports the adoption of the latest safety-tested and code-compliant technology that encourages energy efficiency and is working towards its inclusion in federal and state green energy recognition programs.

Code development NEII is an active participant in the development of the model industry codes within the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the International Code Council (ICC), the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA), and other standards setting organizations. Developed through consensus processes involving a broad range of industry stakeholders such as architects, engineers, elevator companies, fire safety experts, electrical specialists, labor officials, inspectors, product developers and consultants, the model codes are highly regarded and respected. Adoption and enforcement of construction and safety codes are done at the state and local level. Each AHJ has its own process to review and adopt codes and NEII works with them through their processes.

PROMOTING MODEL INDUSTRY CODES: NEII supports the adoption of the most recent edition of the ASME A17.1/CSA B44 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators and other applicable codes in every jurisdction without unjustified modifications.

Tariffs and Trade NEII supports actions aimed at creating fair and balanced trading relationships around the world. However, increased tariffs on elevator and escalator components and parts cause disproportionate economic harm to NEII members, industry employees and consumers. Increased duties raise the cost of U.S.-produced and/or assembled escalators and elevators for the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and for parts supplied to service units in the aftermarket. Moreover, supply chains in the elevator and escalator industry are long-settled and complex. It can take years to establish the necessary quality and reliability to produce safe and competitive products that also meet U.S. code requirements. An abrupt change from one supply chain to another would strain operations across the entire supply chain and could compromise the ability to effectively replace parts.

ENCOURAGING TRADE POLICIES TO FACILITATE INDUSTRY PRODUCTION: NEII supports trade policies that promote established supply chains with a proven track record of producing safe and reliable elevator and escalator equipment and can support the needs and demands of elevator and escalator equipment production for the U.S. market.


Inspections The periodic inspections of elevators, escalators and other building transportation systems in accordance with applicable codes and other regulatory requirements helps to ensure compliance. Some AHJs are currently, or have proposed the idea of, utilizing third party inspectors and/or allowing companies to self-attest that deficiencies have been addressed. It is vital that inspectors are properly trained as qualified elevator inspectors and the AHJ maintains oversight to ensure the accuracy, consistency and equal application of standards.

INSPECTORS SHOULD BE HIRED OR DESIGNATED BY AHJs: NEII supports qualified elevator inspectors that are either employed by, or a designated representative, of the Authority Having Jurisdiction to inspect equipment, witness tests and determine compliance as required by the applicable elevator and escalator safety codes.

Smart buildings State-of-the-art technology integrated into new and modernized buildings help conserve energy and improve overall operation. Predictive maintenance abilities related to the connectivity and the remote monitoring of elevator equipment, for example, can maximize performance and longevity. As our world becomes more and more digitalized, the elevator industry is poised to incorporate these innovative tools to improve the ways people move within buildings and enhance the systems in place to move them.

NEED TO PROTECT SMART TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEMENTS: NEII supports the development of smart technologies that are code-compliant and meet national cyber-security standards.

Enforcement AHJs should have robust elevator programs that enforce compliance with applicable codes, standards, regulations and policies. Requirements should be clear, applied consistently, and available on the program’s website. Regulated entities should be given reasonable advance notice and the ability to provide feedback regarding any proposed or enacted new requirements, and be provided due process to appeal enforcement decisions as needed.

PROMOTING ELEVATOR PROGRAMS IN EVERY STATE: NEII supports the establishment of an elevator enforcement program in every state and encourages the application of clear administrative procedures to ensure appropriate public noticeand comment is provided, as well as the opportunity for due process to appeal actions as needed.

Model Elevator Law (MEL) NEII partners with the IUEC and Elevator Industry Work Preservation Fund (EIWPF) to develop model legislation that is jointly promoted across the country to help AHJs develop elevator programs that include key components such as mechanic, inspector and contractor licensing, elevator boards, enforcement and permitting requirements among other provisions.

PROMOTING INDUSTRY’S MODEL LEGISLATION: NEII supports the adoption of the industry’s Model Elevator Law in every state without unjustified modifications.


Elevator Boards/Advisory Committees Elevator Boards and Advisory Committees serve a valuable function in providing technical assistance to the AHJ and elevator program personnel. Board and Committees should be comprised of a broad representation of industry stakeholders, including a representative from a major manufacturing company. Elevator boards should not operate independently, but under the jurisdiction of the appropriate state agency.

INDUSTRY REPRESENTATION NEEDED ON STATE BOARDS: NEII supports the establishment of elevator boards, technical advisory committees, and other entities to assist the Authority Having Jurisdiction in the development of rules and regulations governing the building transportation industry and will work to secure representation by a major elevator manufacturer on every such elevator board or advisory committee.
