15、ericanSociety of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) under procedures accredited as meeting the criteria forAmerican National Standards. The consensus committee that approved the Standard was balancedto ensure that individuals from competent and concerned interests have had an opportunity toparticipate.This

16、 Standard is intended to serve as the basis for state, municipal, and other jurisdictionalauthorities in drafting regulations governing the installation, testing, inspection, maintenance,alteration, and repair of platform lifts and stairway chairlifts. It is also intended as a standardreference of s

17、afety requirements for the guidance of architects, engineers, insurance companies,manufacturers, and contractors, and as a standard of safety practices for owners and managementof structures where equipment covered in the Scope of this Standard is used.This Standard is available for public review on

18、 a continuing basis. This provides an opportunityfor additional public input from industry, academia, regulatory agencies, and the public-at-large.Safety codes and standards are intended to enhance public health and safety. Revisions resultfrom committee consideration of factors such as technologica

19、l advances, new data, and changingenvironmental and industry needs. Revisions do not imply that previous editions were inadequate.It should be pointed out that any governmental jurisdiction has authority over any particularinstallation. Inquiries dealing with problems of a local character should be

20、directed to the properauthority of such jurisdiction. It is recommended that, prior to adoption, all pertinent state andlocal laws or ordinances be reviewed and where there is a conflict with any of the requirementsof this Standard, an exception to such conflicting requirement be noted, quoting the

21、section ofthe law that applies.Equipment covered by this Standard was originally incorporated as a 1983 supplement toANSI/ASME A17.11981, Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators. In ANSI/ASME A17.1b1983,a new Part XXI covering private residence inclined stairway chairlifts and inclined and vertical

22、wheelchair lifts was added. Part XX was added to cover these same devices installed in buildingsother than private residences.In 1996, as a result of the effort to harmonize the ASME A17.1 Code and the CAN/CSA-B44Safety Code for Elevators, a new Main Committee on Platform Lifts and Stairway Chairlif

23、ts wasestablished. The Committee developed the first edition, which incorporates Parts XX and XXI,as well as the applicable cross-references in ASME A17.11996, up to and includingASME A17.1a1997.The first edition of this Standard was approved by The American Society of MechanicalEngineers Committee
