A17.1 - 2004 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators Handbook:
Working with the 2004 Edition of the Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators
can be a real challenge, due to the restructuring of the code and introduction
of many new requirements, but you will find everything you need in the new ASME
A17.1 Handbook.
The Handbook includes a summary of code changes, explanations, examples and
illustrations plus excerpts from other nationally recognized standards that are
referenced by the code.
The ASME A17.1 Handbook is the comprehensive reference you can depend on to
answer your questions. The Handbook has been completely rewritten and
reformatted to complement the ASME A17.1-2004 Code.
