Recent directives from the Karnataka Electrical Inspectorate clarify that non-functioning Automatic Rescue Devices or expired fitness certificates can result in immediate shutdown notices. Building owners must ensure preventative servicing contracts are continuously active.
Statutory references include the Karnataka Lifts, Escalators and Passenger Conveyors Act, Bureau of Indian Standards IS 14665 (Parts 1–5), and the National Building Code of India (Part 8, Section 5: Installation of Lifts and Escalators).
Before ordering elevators, architects must confirm machine room ventilation, 3-phase earthing resistance below 2 ohms, pit water-proofing, and appropriate hoistway dimensions matching IS specifications to prevent licensing delays.
