A. These rules apply to all elevators in Utah with the following exemptions:
- 1. Private residence elevators installed inside a single family dwelling. Common elevators which serve multiple private residences are not exempt from these rules.
- 2. Elevators in buildings owned by the Federal government.
- B. Owners of elevators exempted in R616-3-6.A. may request a safety inspection by Division of Boiler, Elevator and Coal Mine Safety inspectors. Code non-compliance items will be treated as recommendations by the inspector with the owner having the option as to which, if any, are corrected. Owners requesting these inspections will be invoiced at the special inspection rate. If the owner requests a State of Utah Certificate to Operate for the elevator, all of the recommendations must be completed to the satisfaction of the inspector and the owner will be invoiced the appropriate certificate fee.
