The comments used in this checklist give direction only and are not intended to circumvent actual code language. Please refer to the appropriate standard as necessary to clarify any code issues that may arise during this inspection. The codes referenced in this checklist are applicable to the elevator installation as of the effective date of April 1, 2005. If the structural or electrical permit was issued prior to April 1, 2005, the previous edition of the elevator code may be used to resolve code conflicts providing a the issue date for the electrical or structure permit can be verified by the elevator inspector. While the Elevator Safety Program does not directly regulate the building code, it is permissible to question code issues and request clarification or validation from the local building department. The elevator inspector cannot require any corrections unless supported by the local building department in such cases.

NFPA 13 (2002) Installation of Sprinkler Systems 8.14.5 Elevator Hoistways and Machine Rooms 8.14.5.1 Sidewall spray sprinklers shall be installed at the bottom of each elevator hoistway not more than 0.61 m (2ft.) above the pit floor. 8.14.5.2 The sprinkler required at the bottom of the elevator hoistway by 8.14.5.1 shall not be required for enclosed, non-combustible elevator shafts that do not contact combustible hydraulic fluids. 8.14.5.3 Automatic sprinklers in elevator machine rooms or at the tops of hoistways shall be of ordinary or intermediate-temperature rating. 8.14.5.4 Upright or pendent spray sprinklers shall be installed at the top of elevator hoistways. 8.14.5.5 The sprinkler required at the top of the elevator hoistway by 8.14.5.4 shall not be required where the hoistway for passenger elevators is noncombustible and the car enclosure materials meet the requirements of ASME A17.1, Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators. Note: Hoistway wall construction that contains wood framing is considered combustible despite a 1 or 2-hour rating. In addition, hydraulic fluid is considered combustible despite a relatively high ignition temperature.
NFPA 72 (2002) National Fire Alarm Code

6.15.3 Elevator Recall for Fire Fighters Service 6.15.3.1 System-type smoke detectors or other automatic fire detection as permitted by 6.15.3.7 located in elevator lobbies, elevator hoistways, and elevator machine rooms including machine space, control room, and control space used to initiate fire fighters service recall shall be connected to the building fire alarm system. 6.15.3.2 In facilities without a building fire alarm system, these smoke detectors or other automatic fire detection as permitted by 6.15.3.7 shall be connected to a dedicated fire alarm system control unit that shall be designated as elevator recall control and supervisory panel, permanently identified on the control unit and on the record drawings. Unless otherwise required by the authority having jurisdiction, only the elevator lobby, elevator hoistway, and the elevator machine room smoke detectors shall be used to recall elevators for fire fighters service. 6.15.3.3 Unless otherwise required by the authority having jurisdiction, only the elevator lobby, elevator hoistway and the elevator machine room smoke detectors or other automatic fire detection as permitted by 6.15.3.7 shall be used to recall elevators for fire fighters service. 6.15.3.4 Each elevator lobby, elevator hoistway, and elevator machine room smoke detectors or other automatic fire detection as permitted by 6.15.3.7 shall be capable of initiating elevator recall when all other devices on the same initiating device circuit have been manually or automatically placed in the alarm condition. 6.15.3.5 A lobby smoke detector shall be located on the ceiling within 6.4 m (21-ft.) of the centerline of each elevator door within the elevator bank under control of the detector. Exception: For lobby ceiling configurations exceeding 4.6 m (15 ft.) in height or that are other than flat and smooth, detector locations shall be determined in accordance with Chapter 5. 6.15.3.6 Smoke detectors shall not be installed in unsprinklered elevator hoistways unless they are installed to actuate the elevator hoistway smoke relief equipment. 6.15.3.7 If ambient conditions prohibit installation of automatic smoke detection, other automatic fire detection shall be permitted. 6.15.3.8 When actuated, each elevator lobby, elevator hoistway, and elevator machine room smoke detector or other automatic fire detection as permitted by 6.15.3.7 shall initiate an alarm condition on the building fire alarm system and shall visibly indicate, at the control unit and required remote annunciators, the alarm initiation circuit or zone from which the alarm originated. 6.15.3.9 Actuation from elevator hoistway and elevator machine room smoke detectors or other automatic fire detection as permitted by 6.15.3.7 shall send an alarm condition on the building fire alarm system and shall visibly indicate, at the control unit and required annunciators, the alarm initiation circuit or zone from which the alarm originated. Exception: If approved by the authority having jurisdiction, the elevator hoistway and machine room smoke detectors shall be permitted to initiate a supervisory signal. 6.15.3.10 For each group of elevators with a building, a minimum of three separate elevator control circuits shall be terminated at the designated elevator controller within the groups elevator machine room(s). The operation of the elevators shall be in accordance with Section 2.27 of ANSI/ASME A17.1 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators. The smoke detectors or other automatic fire detection as permitted by 6.15.3.7 shall actuate the three elevator control circuits as follows: (1) The smoke detector or other automatic fire detection as permitted by 6.15.3.7 located in the designated elevator recall lobby shall actuate the first elevator control circuit. In addition, if the elevator is equipped with front and rear doors, or the elevator machine room is located at the designated level, the smoke detectors shall actuate the first elevator control

circuit. The smoke detectors or other automatic fire detection as permitted by 6.15.3.7 in both lobbies at the designated level shall actuate the first elevator control circuit. (2) The smoke detectors or other automatic fire detection as permitted by 6.15.3.7 in the remaining elevator lobbies shall actuate the second elevator control circuit. (3) The smoke detectors or other automatic fire detection as permitted by 6.15.3.7 in the elevator hoistways and the elevator machine room(s) shall actuate the third elevator control circuit. Comment: The OSEC defines an elevator lobby as the area in front of the elevator where persons normally wait for the elevator. This distance is typically a radius of 1220-1830 mm (4-6 ft.) from the center of the elevator door. This distance may vary depending on site conditions. However, if the detector is in compliance with 6.15.3.5 the installation is acceptable. 6.15.4 Elevator Shutdown 6.15.4.1 Where heat detectors are used to shut down elevator power prior to sprinkler operation, the detector shall have both a lower temperature rating and a higher sensitivity as compared to the sprinkler. 6.15.4.2 If heat detectors are used to shut down elevator power prior to sprinkler operation, they shall be placed within 610 mm (2 ft) of each sprinkler head and be installed in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 5. Alternatively, engineering methods, such as specified in Annex B, shall be permitted to be used to select and place heat detectors to ensure response prior to any sprinkler head operation under a variety of fire growth rate scenarios. 6.15.4.3 If pressure or waterflow switches are used to shut down elevator power immediately upon or prior to the discharge of water from sprinklers, the use of devices with time delay switches or time delay capability shall not be permitted. 6.15.4.4 Control circuits to shut down elevator power shall be monitored for presence of operating voltage. Loss of voltage to the control circuit for the disconnecting means shall cause a supervisory signal to be indicated at the control unit and required remote annunciators. 6.15.4.5 The initiating devices described in 6.15.4.2 and 6.15.4.3 shall be monitored for integrity by the control unit required in 6.15.3.1 and 6.15.3.2.
