Section R. 408.7041a - Fire extinguishers
Rule 41a. Section 8.6.1.6.5 of ASME A17.1 is amended to read as follows: In jurisdictions not enforcing the National Building Code of Canada, Class "ABC" fire extinguishers must be provided in elevator machine rooms, control rooms, and control spaces outside the hoistway intended for full bodily entry, and walk-in machinery spaces and control rooms for escalators and moving walks; and they must be located convenient to the access door.
For machine-room-less (MRL) installations, Class "ABC" fire extinguishers must be conspicuously located where they are readily accessible outside of the elevator hoistway within 21 feet (6.4m) of the centerline of each elevator entrance associated with the controller. In the event of side or rear elevator entrance assemblies a Class "ABC" fire extinguisher must be conspicuously located in accordance with this rule.
