All,
The Mechanical Compliance Section of the Nevada Department of Business and Industry, Division of Industrial Relations has issued updated guidelines, dated 10/5/22, related to ASME A17.3 code for elevators.
The only substantive change in these regulations from previous versions of the code is the requirement for "Ascending Car Overspeed Protection," which is outlined in the memo at the below link.
Furthermore, the state is proposing to give owners an additional year to comply with provisions of new versions of ASME A17.3, affecting the timeline for compliance with future versions of ASME A17.3.
Please be sure to discuss this very technical, nuanced notice with your elevator contractors, as well as reviewing the FAQs, and be sure your new builds are in compliance with the door restrictors and door lock monitoring prior to design/install/inspection.
If you have any questions or would like to be added to the DIR email notifications list, please reach out to jfinlay@dir.nv.gov.
