ASME A17.1 is a mandatory access standard for the elevator industry in North America. The core revisions of the 2024 version include: adding safety specifications for predictive maintenance systems of IoT smart elevators, improving the performance requirements of anti-pinch protection devices for escalators, optimizing the emergency rescue standards for elevators in super high-rise buildings, and clarifying the electrical safety requirements for elevators powered by renewable energy. The standard simultaneously updates the process specifications for elevator inspection and testing, which officially takes effect from October 2024, and becomes the core compliance basis for market access of elevator products in North American countries such as the United States and Canada.
