All,

Last week we sent out an industry notice on the updated revisions made to the Nevada Administrative Code 455C that went into effect on August 22, 2023. The revisions made include elevators and commercial and multifamily water heaters and boilers.

The Nevada DIR has sent out another notice regarding commonly asked questions on the Renewal of Elevator Mechanic Certificates, which requires an elevator mechanic to provide, when renewing their certification, “Proof satisfactory to the Mechanical Compliance Section that the applicant has completed, in the calendar year immediately preceding the application for renewal, 8 hours of educational training in the construction, installation, alteration, and repair of elevators from a nationally accredited educational program.”

In this notice, the DIR answers questions such as:

• When will proof of training be required?
• What kind of documentation is accepted as proof?
• What kind of classes are accepted?
• Does this apply to new applications as well?
• Does this apply to apprentices/helpers?
• Where can I find the application to renew an elevator mechanic certificate?
