The Declaratory Statement was introduced by the chair. The declaratory

Actions: Question: Due to the fact 2010 FBC Residential Sec. R321
specifically references only Elevators and lifts intended to carry people
{passenger elevators, limited use/limited application elevators, private
residence elevators, and platform lifts.} Is it the intent of the code to regulate ONLY the installation of
Elevator and Platform lifts intended to carry people? Answer: No, The device in question meets the definition of an
elevator in both the Florida Building Code, Building and the referenced
standard ASME A17.1. ASME
A17.1 offers many classifications of elevators with varying degrees of
sophistication, intended uses, and safety provisions. This device must meet
the standard of the classification, which it most closely resembles as
provided by ASME A17.1. A Motion
was entered by Tony Apfelbeck and seconded by James Schock to accept and
approve the staff recommendation. The staff recommendation was unanimously approved. |
