Changes to the new Compliance Standards for Hydraulic and Traction Elevators
New analysis leads to improved Compliance Standards and reduction of high-risk orders
TSSA is making changes to the compliance standards for hydraulic and traction elevators launched earlier this year. The changes result in a more effective safety program with very focused requirements in the compliance standards. This means there are fewer high-risk orders that can be issued on a periodic inspection than originally communicated earlier this year.
On March 1, 2023, new compliance standards for hydraulic and traction elevators and escalators took effect. Compliance standards help device owners and operators better understand their safety priorities. There may be public safety consequences if any requirements in a compliance standard are not addressed. If there is a non-compliance, a device may be shut down or an order issued to resolve within 14 days.
The new compliance standards for hydraulic and traction elevators took effect on June 12, 2023.
- Hydraulic elevators - effective June 12, 2023
- Electric/traction elevators - effective June 12, 2023
- Escalators - Information for Owners and Operators - effective March 1, 2023
- Escalators - Information for Contractors - effective March 1, 2023
