Which ANSI Standard deals with elevators?

ANSI Z16.1
ANSI A17.1
ANSI Z87.1
ANSI Z89.1

The correct answer is: ANSI A17.1

The ANSI A17.1 standard specifically addresses elevators and escalators, outlining safety requirements for their design, construction, installation, maintenance, repair, and operation. This standard is essential for ensuring the safety of both elevator passengers and maintenance personnel. It includes guidelines for various types of elevators, defines the responsibilities of manufacturers and service providers, and establishes standards for inspections and testing. The other standards listed focus on different areas. For instance, ANSI Z16.1 pertains to safety in industrial settings in a broader context, while ANSI Z87.1 deals with eye and face protection in occupational and educational settings. ANSI Z89.1 is focused on head protection in the workplace. Each of these standards serves its specific purpose, but when it comes to elevators, ANSI A17.1 is the definitive standard to reference.
