CODE DATA PLATE CHECKLIST

Transcription

1 The 1996 edition of A17.1 requires the installation of a Code Data Plate when an alteration is made. The requirement reads as follows: Rule Code Data Plate A data plate that indicates the Code and edition in effect at the time of installation shall be provided. The data plate shall also specify the Code and edition in effect at the time of alteration and the Rule(s) in that were complied with. The data plate shall be in plain view, securely attached on the mainline disconnect or on the controller. The data plate shall be of such material and construction that the letter and figures stamped, etched, cast, or otherwise applied to the face shall remain permanently and readily legible. The height of the letters shall be not less than ⅛ in. (3.2 mm). The requirements for the Code Data Plate are given in ASME A (CSA B44-00) editions in , which in turn refers to , then to 8.9. The requirements are similar to those given in ASME A Rule See A17.1/CSA B44 for complete information. Additional requirements for the Code Data Plate are found in A17.7/CSA B44.7, Section which states the Code Data Plate shall include the following statement: This elevator complies with ASME A17.7/CSA B44.7. See Maintenance Control Program. Following are two Checklists that list the various code requirements that are usually involved with a modernization project. In code language, modernization is called an alteration. One list applies to Electric Elevators. The other applies to Hydraulic Elevators. These two types of equipment are involved in the majority of alterations. In many jurisdictions, the code does not become effective until it is officially adopted. Tfore, two columns of requirements are provided. One lists the Code Rules from the 1996 Edition, including the 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000 Addenda. The second lists the various requirements from ASME A (CSA B44-00) editions. Be sure to use those that apply to the code in force w the equipment is located. ASME A Table 1200 has been relocated to Appendix L in the A (CSA B44-00) editions. These tables will simplify the task of locating the various requirements that apply to each individual project. The intention of these Checklists is to provide a tool for the contract engineer or contract processor to ensure compliance with ASME A17.1/CSA B44. The lists will also provide the data for the person who will prepare the data tag. Please note that the actual material and construction of the tag is in code language, tfore provides a broad selection for the actual tag. In most cases, we expect the mechanic will prepare and install the tag 23-Nov-11 Page 6-19
