1. A written report of every required inspection or periodic test must be filed at the Mechanical Compliance Section office which maintains the record for the object which was inspected or tested by the inspector or special inspector conducting the inspection or witnessing the periodic test, on a form prescribed by the Mechanical Compliance Section, within 10 business days after the inspection or periodic test has been completed. The report must describe the nature of any violation including a reference to any provision of NAC 455C.400 to 455C.530, inclusive, and section 1 of this regulation, or set forth in a publication adopted by reference in NAC 455C.500 that was violated.

2. Each periodic test required by NAC 455C.400 to 455C.530, inclusive, and section 1 of this regulation, must be performed by a person who is certified as an elevator mechanic pursuant to NAC 455C.460. The licensed elevator contractor who will perform a periodic test required by NAC 455C.400 to 455C.530, inclusive, and section 1 of this regulation, shall notify the special inspector retained by the owner of the building and the Mechanical Compliance Section at least 3 business days before the date that the test will take place of the date, time and location that the test will take place. A special inspector or the Mechanical Compliance Section, if the Mechanical Compliance Section determines it is appropriate, shall witness each test, including, without limitation, the category 1, 3 and 5 periodic tests required by the Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators, A17.1, as adopted by reference in NAC 455C.500.

4. The Mechanical Compliance Section will reject a written report of an inspection or periodic test if it is submitted more than 20 business days after the completion of the inspection or periodic test. The results of an inspection or periodic test rejected pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed invalid and the inspection or periodic test must be performed again.
