ASME A17.1/B44-19: Safety Code For Elevators
ASME A17.1-2019 and CSA B44-19 are code who intended to provide safety of life and limb and promote public welfare.
Implementation of the 2019 safety code for elevators is underway. All of our products comply with the new updated emergency communication requirements to ensure communication with any stranded passengers, including those who are hearing and visually impaired. This code covers the design, installation and maintenance of elevators. Today, everyone needs these options to meet the standards.
This code requires video monitoring in elevator cabs so that authorized personnel can answer calls and communicate with passengers with hearing or speech impairments. An LCD screen displaying a messaging conversation, along with the ability to respond from inside the cab must be provided. The communication network must have a backup battery capable of providing 4 hours of talk time.
Lets see what the code requires
Camera
Each elevator must be equipped with a camera whose video feed must be accessible to the rescuer. The camera must show the entire cab floor to allow them to see whether a person is unconscious.
Phone
An audio conversation must be initiated between the callee who is stuck in the cabin and the monitoring station in charge of answering the call. A typical two-way audio conversation must be available.
Messages
Two-way text messaging must be available between the cabin and the monitoring station if necessary. If the entrapped passenger has hearing or speaking impairments, then a text messaging conversation must be available.
Battery
The system must have a 4-hour battery backup to ensure operation during a power failure.
