675 IAC 21-1 to update Elevator Safety Code provisions, amends
675 IAC 21-3 to adopt the 2007 edition of ANSI/ASME A17.1, Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators, with amendments, amends
675 IAC 21-4 to modify a provision, amends
675 IAC 21-8 to adopt the 2005 edition of A18.1, Safety Standard for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chairlifts, adds
675 IAC 21-9 to adopt the 2005 edition of ANSI A17.3, Safety Code for Existing Elevators and Escalators, with amendments, adds
675 IAC 21-10 to adopt the 2007 edition of the ASME QEI-1, Standard for the Qualifications of Elevator Inspectors, with amendments, adds
675 IAC 21-11-1 to adopt the 2005 edition of ASCE Standard 21, the Automated People Mover Standards Part 1, with amendments, adds

The Fire Prevention and Building Safety Commission has authority and the obligation to adopt this rule under
IC 22-13-2-2. The newer editions of existing standards are required to be adopted under
IC 22-13-2-2. The only other two amendments are made to update the title of the code and to repeal language that no longer is applicable. There is a net fiscal cost saving to the regulated community with the adoption of this rule.
