NEII Provides Code Development Update

National Elevator Industry, Inc. (NEII) recently provided a code development update. NEII observed the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) works continually on ASME A17.1/CSA Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators. Changes for the 2025 edition are finalized, and publication is expected before the end of the year. Work is now focused on the 2028 edition. The International Code Council (ICC) A117.1 Standards Committee continues to meet virtually every two weeks to review proposed revisions to the next edition of the ICC A117.1 Standard for Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities. This committee aims to complete its work and publish the next edition by the end of the year. ICC plans to hold its first Committee Action Hearing (CAH) for Group B of the 2027 edition of the ICC International Building Code Series (I-Codes) in April in Orlando, Florida. Group B focuses on general business sections of the International Building Code, including Chapter 30 on elevators. Second draft meetings to review proposals for the 2026 edition of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70 National Electric Code have concluded, with approximately 30 proposals received on Article 620 relating to elevators. Publication is expected later this year.
