This 2012 edition provides updated cross-references and additional guidelines to coordinate with A17.1-2007. It also features new guidelines on machine room-less (MRL) configurations and inclined elevators, while adding a non-mandatory Appendix Checklist for Firefighters' Service of Automatic Elevators.
A17.2 is to be used in conjunction with other volumes of ASME's A17 series of Safety Codes. Careful application of these A17 Safety Codes will help users to comply with applicable regulations within their jurisdictions, while achieving the operational and safety benefits to be gained from the many industry best-practices detailed within these volumes.
Intended for anyone engaged in the safety of elevators, escalators and related equipment.
