How Safety And Safety Requirements Are Evolving In The Elevator Industry
The advantages of new technologies are well known. Better controls, more flexibility, higher speeds, and cost savings are only some of the benefits that can be achieved with these advancements. Some examples of these technologies include new types of suspension mediums, solid state controls or programmable controls. In many applications however, the codes either don't accommodate them, or address the use of these technologies inadequately. The elevator industry has adopted code requirements that help facilitate the incorporation of new technologies.
Join us for this 1-hour educational webinar presented by Kevin Connelly and Dan Posner of UL. Learn how UL has been working with the elevator industry to help certify these new technologies in innovative system designs.
Benefits of attending:
- Understand how the elevator code accommodates new technologies
- Learn how to use solid state or programmable controls to provide safety functions in accordance with the elevator code
- Understand methods to determine whether requirements in the elevator code are appropriate for your technology or if new alternative approaches are more appropriate
- Learn how some authorities are helping manufacturers and installers get equipment installed easier but with a higher level confidence by accepting reports from independent organizations
