Scope Note
Items 1–14, 26–33, and 35–39 apply to standard traction and hydraulic elevators — the everyday inspection world in Alberta and across Canada. Items 15–25 and 40–45 cover escalators, moving walks, rack-and-pinion elevators, inclined elevators, construction elevators, material lifts, dumbwaiters, and special systems such as Occupant Evacuation Operation and firefighters' recall. Always verify requirements against the edition of ASME A17.1 / CSA B44 adopted in your jurisdiction. This reference was compiled directly from ASME A17.1-2019 / CSA B44:19.
