Illinois Administrative Code
Title 41 - FIRE PROTECTION
Part 1000 - ILLINOIS ELEVATOR SAFETY RULES
Section 1000.180 - Service or Inspection of Non-Compliant Conveyances
Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
a) Inspectors, contractors and mechanics are not permitted to service an unregistered existing conveyance that is required by the Act to be registered without prior permission from OSFM, except as provided in this Section.
b) Licensed elevator contractors and licensed inspection companies shall request from the conveyance owner the conveyance's registration number and a copy of the current Certificate of Operation. A 60-day one-time extension may be obtained upon request from OSFM so that a conveyance owner can schedule an inspection or service to be performed in order to register a conveyance or obtain a Certificate of Operation. Forms for submitting an extension request are available on the OSFM website at www.sfm.illinois.gov under the Elevator Safety link. In municipalities that have a local elevator agreement with OSFM, the conveyance owner must apply to the Local Administrator for the 60-day extension to obtain a current Certificate of Operation.
c) Exceptions to Obtaining Advance Permission from OSFM or the Local Administrator to Work on a Non-Compliant Conveyance
Should a situation occur in which an elevator contractor has been contacted to remove a trapped or injured person from a conveyance or render the conveyance out of service for reasons of safety, the licensee may perform that work, but must notify OSFM via email or phone call the next business day after performing the service.
