Elevator inspection rules and guidelines vary from state to state. There are some basic guidelines that most states will follow. It should also be noted the cost of an elevator inspection will vary from state to state. The cost of a commercial inspection may be different than the cost of a residential elevator inspection.
Here are some examples of what an elevator inspection will likely consist of:
- If there is an elevator machine room, check to see if there is a wall-mounted fire extinguisher in place.
- Check to make sure the machine room has a self-locking lockset.
- Make sure there is a code-compliant way to access the machine room.
- Make sure a separate branch circuit has been installed for lighting in the machine room.
- Check for a fused disconnect or circuit breaker to disconnect all ungrounded conductors for the elevator.
- Check for smoke detectors.
- In the elevator cab, make sure there is finished flooring.
- All flooring material must be installed so that there is no tripping hazard to occupants.
- Make sure there is permanent hall lighting at each elevator landing entrance.
- Entrance sills must be grouted or otherwise provided with the means to support any loads imposed.
- Make sure a hoistway key-operated vent switch has been installed. This key-operated vent switch must be removable in the closed position and located adjacent to a fire control panel or in the elevator lobby of the designated floor.
- Check for an elevator corridor call station pictograph at each corridor call station.
- Lobby initiating devices should be mounted on the ceiling within 21 feet of any elevator landing or entrance area.
