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 oth

Correspondence should be addressed to: Secretary, A17 Standards CommitteeThe American Society of Mechanical EngineersThree Park AvenueNew York, NY 100
35、16 USAE-mail: infocentralasme.orgAll correspondence 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 de
36、sirable, as demonstrated by the experience gained from 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 b
37、e as specific as possible, citing the section number(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
38、. Interpretations can be rendered only in response 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 Asso
39、ciationASME A17.7-2007/CSA B44.7-07 American Society 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: Ph
40、rase the question as a request for an interpretation 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 al
41、so include any plans or drawings that are necessary 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
42、 the original request. ASME procedures provide for 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 “appro
43、ve,” “certify,” “rate,” or “endorse” any item, construction, 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 co

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 elevato
45、rs and escalators. This is a fully harmonized binational 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 S
46、trategic Steering Committee on Public Safety. It has 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, i
47、t is important to note that it remains the responsibility 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
48、 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 all clauses of this publication.(4) CSA Codes and Standards are su
49、bject to periodic review, and suggestions for their improvement will be referred to the appropriate committee.(5) All enquiries regarding this Code, including requests for interpretation, should be addressed to Canadian Standards Association, 5060 Spectrum Way, Suite 100, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L4W 5N6. Requests for interpretation should(a) define the problem, making reference to the specific clause, and, where appropriate, include an illustrative sketch;(b) provide an expl
