Inspections

Two factors will determine whether an inspection will count towards renewing a Certificate of Operation (CO): the type of inspection and when it was completed.  The inspection must be either:

• A routine inspection/periodic test with no violations (as determined by ASME 17.1).

• A call-back inspection (if there are any violations on the above inspection) clearing those violations must be corrected within 90 days, per Florida Statute 399.105(4).  Any violations cited on an inspection must be corrected within 90 days of the inspection and a callback inspection must be performed to verify all violations are corrected.

NOTE: Per the State of Florida, every five years, building owners are required to also do a CAT 5 Inspection, as per ASME 17.1.

NOTE: You must use a third-party inspector (approved by the State of Florida) to complete the above inspection.

NOTE: Any and all annual fees or outstanding fines must be paid  before receiving your annual certificate.  

Testing

Elevator testing is a critical process that ensures elevators operate safely, efficiently, and in compliance with regulatory standards. Regular inspections and performance tests help identify wear, mechanical issues, or electrical faults before they become serious hazards. These tests typically include checks of safety devices, braking systems, door operations, load capacity, and emergency controls.

Routine elevator testing not only protects passengers and building occupants but also extends the lifespan of the equipment and reduces costly downtime. By adhering to scheduled testing and maintenance, property owners can ensure their elevators remain dependable and fully compliant with safety codes.
