Correspondence with ASME A17 CommitteeASME codes and standards are developed and maintained with the intent to represent the consensus of concerned interests. As such, users of this and other ASME A17 codes and standards may interact with t
36、he committee by requesting interpretations, proposing revisions, and attending committee meetings. Correspondence should be addressed to: Secretary, A17 Standards CommitteeThe American Society of Mechanical EngineersThree Park AvenueNew York, NY 10016 USAE-mail: infocentralasme.orgAll correspondence
37、 to the Committee must include the individuals name and post office address in case the Committee needs to request further information. Proposing revisionsRevisions are made periodically to the Code to incorporate changes that appear necessary or desirable, as demonstrated by the experience gained f
38、rom the application of the procedures, and in order to conform to developments in the elevator industry. Approved revisions will be published periodically. The ASME A17 Committee welcomes proposals for revisions to this Code. Such proposals should be as specific as possible, citing the section numbe
39、r(s), the proposed wording, and a detailed description of the reasons for the proposal, including any pertinent documentation. Requesting interpretations On request, the ASME A17 Committee will render an interpretation of any requirement of the Code. Interpretations can be rendered only in response
40、to a written request sent to the Secretary of the Standards Committee. The request for interpretation should be clear and unambiguous. It is further recommended that the inquirer submit the request using the following format: Canadian Standards AssociationASME A17.7-2007/CSA B44.7-07 American Societ
41、y of Mechanical Engineers, Inc.xiv March 2007Subject: Cite the applicable section number(s) and give a concise description. Edition: Cite the applicable edition and supplement of the Code for which the interpretation is being requested. Question: Phrase the question as a request for an interpretatio
42、n of a specific requirement suitable for general understanding and use, not as a request for approval of a proprietary design or situation. The question shall be phrased, where possible, to permit a specific “yes” or “no” answer. The inquirer may also include any plans or drawings that are necessary
43、 to explain the question; however, they should not contain proprietary names or information. Requests that are not in this format will be rewritten in this format by the Committee prior to being answered, which may inadvertently change the intent of the original request. ASME procedures provide for
44、reconsideration of any interpretation if additional information that might affect an interpretation becomes available. Further, persons aggrieved by an interpretation may appeal to the appropriate ASME committee or subcommittee. ASME does not “approve,” “certify,” “rate,” or “endorse” any item, cons
45、truction, proprietary device, or activity. Attending Committee meetings The ASME A17 Standards Committee and the various Working Committees regularly hold meetings, all of which are open to the public. Persons wishing to attend any meeting should contact the Secretary of the Standards Committee. Can

Performance-based safety code for elevators and escalatorsMarch 2007 xvCSA PrefaceThis is the first edition of ASME A17.7/CSA B44.7, Performance-based safety code for elevators and escalators. This is a fully harmonized binat
47、ional Code.This Code is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Code.This Code was prepared for use in Canada by the CSA Technical Committee on the Elevator Safety Code under the jurisdiction of the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Public Safety. It ha
48、s been formally approved by the CSA Technical Committee. March 2007Notes: (1) Use of the singular does not exclude the plural (and vice versa) when the sense allows.(2) Although the intended primary application of this Code is stated in its Scope, it is important to note that it remains the responsi
49、bility of the users of the Code to judge its suitability for their particular purpose.(3) This publication was developed by consensus, which is defined by CSA Policy governing standardization Code of good practice for standardization as “substantial agreement. Consensus implies much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity“. It is consistent with this definition that a member may be included in the Technical Committee list and yet not be in full agreement with al
