ASME A17.1/CSA B44-2010 Handbook

ASME A17.1/CSA B44-2010―one of ASME’s most popular safetystandards―addresses elevators, escalators, dumbwaiters, movingwalks and material lifts. It provides requirements applying to the design,construction, installation, operation, testing, inspection, maintenance,alteration and repair of these conveyances.

This living landmark has been defining safety in elevators, escalatorsand related equipment since 1921. A17.1 has been harmonized withCSA B44 to provide one comprehensive solution for jurisdictionsthroughout North America.

The companion Handbook contains the rationale for A17.1 requirements;explanations, examples and illustrations of their implementation; plusexcerpts from other nationally recognized standards, which are referencedby the Code. It seeks to provide users with a better understanding ofA17.1 requirements, with increased safety for all parties intended asthe net result.

Both publications are to be used in conjunction with other volumes ofASME’s A17 series of safety standards. Careful application of theseA17 safety standards will help users to comply with applicableregulations within their jurisdictions, while achieving the operationaland safety benefits to be gained from the many industry best-practicesdetailed within these volumes.
