Any one know how often a residental elevator needs to be inspected and certified by the weights and measures commission?
This is the second home this year with an elevator in it thet I have Inspected, and this question has came up both times. I know who inspects and certifies them but how offten is required?
Do any of you have a disclaimer that you use in your report that you could share?
I am uncertain about residential lifts, but in California a commercial lift must be tested monthly (or as determined by the AHJ) and certified annually.
I do not inspect elevators, except to say that they work, then I defer them to an elevator company. I want no responsibility for a system that expensive that I might see once a year (or less)
I do inspected them either, but I would like to tell my clients how often they need certified. Even if you refer them to an elevator company the weights and measures commision has to certifiy them.
