Brian had previously reported that some of the metric specifications do not align with the imperial counterparts. Ron indicated this is probably because the committee was aligning with ISO speeds and dimensions. The committee discussed whether the metrics should be consistent with ISO or with the products currently on the market in NA. There may an issue with how this and A17.1 were harmonized with B44. A question was also raised about whether the metric sections were used or if most people used the imperial dimensions and converted to get the metric. Kevin agreed to add these items to the next CCC agenda for discussion. The committee also discussed whether we should continue to maintain the sections on LULA, Private Residence Elevators and Dumbwaiters since NEII member companies generally do not produce these products. Ed Donoghue has recommended that these sections remain. Kevin will contact Sheila Swett to see if consultants are using these sections. In addition, Kevin will include this item on the next CCC agenda for discussion. The committee reviewed the changes discussed at the last meeting for Part 2 (it does not appear that these changes were made in the documents) and agreed to some additional changes as well. The committee also reviewed the same changes relative to Part 3. The LULA, Private Residence Elevators and Dumbwaiters were not updated. Kevin will update the PDF versions of the documents and forward a list of necessary changes to the diagrams to Randy so he can revise as needed. Changes approved by the committee for Part 2 and Part 3 are listed below:

(a) PP09-11 – Details

• On pages 10 and 11 add new note under title: “Note – For Drawings

denoted with an “*” see Electric Elevator Additional Requirements, Note 8 and applicable building code.”

• On page 10 add note under drawing: TO REINFORCED POUR STOP: “Note – For Post Tension slabs special attachment may be required.”

• On page 10 add “*” to drawings: TO CONCRET BEAM (OR WALL); TO BLOCK WALL; and TO REINFORCED POUR STOP.

• On page 11 add “*” to drawing: DETAIL 5 STRUCTURAL SLAB CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION.

• On page 11 add new drawing: DETAIL 6 SIMPLE SHEAR CONNECTION

(b) PP12-27 – Electric Elevators • On several pages update note on car sizes by adding word “open”: These

car dimensions and entrance types provide wheelchair accessibility and accommodate an ambulance type stretcher (1930 mm X 610 mm) in the horizontal open position. Make the same change to (76” x 24”) note for Imperial.

• On several pages update note on car sizes by adding “radius corners” and word “open”: These car dimensions and entrance types provide wheelchair accessibility and accommodate an ambulance type stretcher (2134 mm X 610 mm with 125 mm radius corners) in the horizontal open position as required by the IBC. Make the same change to (84” x 24”) note for Imperial, except use 5’ radius.

• Update note ADA and UFAS in several locations. Subsequent to the meeting the group agreed to change the minimum door dimension to 915 mm to match the requirement in ICC/A117.1 and the ADA Standards for Accessible Design (2010) since the consensus was that 900 mm doors are not being used. With the updated dimension there is no longer a need for the note so it can be removed.

• The committee discussed adding larger car sizes for Metric Hospital Elevators similar to Imperial. The committee agreed this should be done pending the decision on keeping the metric sections (see above). This will be discussed further at the next meeting.

(c) PP28-43 – Hydraulic Elevators

• On several pages update note on car sizes by adding word “open”: These



• Update note ADA and UFAS in several locations. Subsequent to the meeting the group agreed to change the minimum door dimension to 915 mm to match the requirement in ICC/A117.1 and the ADA Standards for Accessible Design (2010) since the consensus was that 900 mm doors

Page 4 of 9

are not being used. With the updated dimension there is no longer a need for the note so it can be removed.

• Ron asked committee members to review the h1 (overhead) dimension and the d3 (pit) dimensions on page 3-19 for their products prior to next meeting to determine if the dimensions are still acceptable based on compensation rope stretch and full stroke vs reduced stroke buffers.

(d) PP44-47 – Observation Elevators

• On several pages update note on car sizes by adding word “open”: These



• Update note ADA and UFAS in several locations. Subsequent to the meeting the group agreed to change the minimum door dimension to 915 mm to match the requirement in ICC/A117.1 and the ADA Standards for Accessible Design (2010) since the consensus was that 900 mm doors are not being used. With the updated dimension there is no longer a need for the note so it can be removed.

(e) PP56-65 – Freight Elevators

• On pages 58 & 59, in Hoistway Section View add “DOOR” before “OPENING” in formula.

• On pages 60 & 63 in PLAN VIEW, change references “PAGES 56 & 57 58 & 59”.

• For metric only, on pages 60 & 63 in PLAN VIEW, change dimension “10 15 FRAME PROTECTION”.

(f) PP72-83 – Escalators and Moving Walks

• On page 72, eliminate section USE OF GLASS OR PLASTICS IN

BALLUSTRIDES. This information is in ASME A17.1/CSA B44, Requirement 601.3.3.3 and will be part of the escalator provided by the manufacturer;

Page 5 of 9

therefore, it should not be located here. • On page 72 in GUARD AT CEILING INTERSECTION (Metric only), change

dimension for consistency with ASME A17.1/CSA B44. “. . . The exposed edge of the guard shall be rounded and have a minimum width of 25 mm and a minimum radius of 10 12 mm. . . .”

• On page 72 in DESIGN FACTORS OF SAFETY add reference to Canadian Standard (refer to ASME A17.1/CSA B44). “Supporting structure for trusses shall conform to the AISC Specifications for Design, Fabrication and Erection of Structural Steel for Building or the CSA Standard CAN/CSA-S16.1, whichever is applicable.”

• On page 72 in PROTECTION REQUIRED update language (refer to ASME A17.1/CSA B44, Req. 6.1.2.1). “The sides and under side of escalator trusses and machinery space shall be enclosed I fire resistive materials. Consult local code for requirements for protection of floor openings. If no local code, see ANSI/NFPA 101. The sides and undersides of an escalator truss or group of adjacent trusses in a single wellway shall be enclosed in materials defined as either noncombustible or limited-combustible by the building code or NFPA 101, whichever is applicable.

• On page 72 update section title and language as follows: “LIGHTING OF REMOTE MACHINE ROOM (where applicable) . . . The illumination shall be not less than 200 100 lx at the floor level. . .” [Replace 100 lx with 10 fc for Imperial]

• On page 73 update section title and language as follows: “EXTERIOR LIGHTING OF STEP TREADS ESCALATOR Step treads shall be illuminated throughout their run. The light intensity of the treads shall be in accordance with local codes and ordinances for stairways. Refer to ASME A17.1/CSA B44. Landing floor plates and all exposed step treads shall be illuminated with a lighting intensity of not less than 50 lx. The illumination of these surfaces shall be of uniform intensity and not contrast materially with that of the surrounding area.” [Replace 50 lx with 5 fc for Imperial]

• On page 73 in DECK BARRICADES, update language as follows: “A barricade to prevent restrict access to the outer deck on low deck exterior balustrades shall be provided . . .”

• On page 73 in OUTDOOR ESCALATORS, update language per the minutes from the previous meeting. Subsequent to the meeting, Ron updated his recommendation on this section to leave the existing language and just add the reference to Requirement 6.1.8 (and 6.2.8 for moving walks).

• On page 75, update in two places as follows: “HOLD HANDRAIL

Page 6 of 9

CAUTION SIGN” • On page 76, Change dimension (Metric only): “BLOCKOUT 130 140 • Make similar changes to Moving Walks as needed.

9. Old Business.

(a) Machine Roomless Elevators (MRL).

The committee previously identified the following elements to be included in NEII®-1 specifications for MRLs.

Side-mounted counterweight Rail supported 3500 and 4000 lb 200 ft/min 42 in. door opening, center or side opening on 3500 lb 48 in. center opening on 4000 lb

At the previous meeting, the committee revised the table(s) to capture all of the data for 3500 and 4000 lb MRLs produced by their companies for discussion (Attachment #1).

During the meeting, the committee discussed the MRL data and committee members agreed to provide any updates to their numbers by October 16. Kevin will create new charts by November 20 and include a target chart. The revised charts will be recirculated for review and comment. Comments are due by March 1, 2016, so they can be discussed at the next meeting.

(b) NAEC MRL Specifications (Attachment #2)

The information in the attachment is from Hollister Whitney. Brian was going to talk to Teresa Witham to determine if the NAEC specifications can be modified to comport with NEII dimensions. The committee decided to hold this until we have finished our numbers so we have something to compare and then see if it makes sense to have common numbers with NAEC. NAEC document is based on building supported machines.

10. New Business.

Page 7 of 9

(a) Fire Service Access Elevators (FSAE) (Attachment #3).

A recommendation was made to consider adding Fire Service Access Elevators (lighting in hoistways, etc). Doug will provided the attached excerpt from 2015 IBC regarding FSAE. Committee agreed to review the requirements to determine the impact on NEII® -1 prior by March 1, 2016. Focus will be on 3500 and 4000 lb (similar rules to MRL) except that center opening door on 3500 will not be considered because that application will not accommodate the stretcher requirements. This impacts all types of elevators, (electric, hydraulic and MRL) but MRL results in the tightest spaces so committee agreed to just consider MRL for the first attempt.

11. NEII® NOW Articles.

The following author/article is scheduled for future editions:

• Spring – to be determined • Future – MRL’s in NEII-1 or Fire Service Access Elevators.
