Each Elevator unit intended to be installed in the State of Maryland
(including Alterations) is required to be registered. Once a registration is received, an information packet
will be sent to the owner.
Included with the packet you will find:
- An inspection Request Form for each elevator unit registered; and
- An inspection checklist certification for each unit registered.
A final acceptance inspection must be scheduled 60 days in advance of the anticipated completion date. To schedule
a final inspection, the Contractor or Owner must submit to the Safety Inspection Unit a completed Inspection Request
Form. After receiving the request, the Safety Inspection Unit will contact the Contractor or Owner to confirm the
inspection date.
Maryland Law requires that at least 15 days before a scheduled final acceptance inspection, the
owner is to submit to the Commissioner a written certification that:
- The elevator meets the requirements of the elevator safety code.
- A Qualified Elevator Inspector has certified that the elevator unit, as as constructed and installed complies
with the Laws and Regulations; and
- The elements indicated on the inspection checklist are operational, have been tested and are functional.
The owner will use the checklist certification to confirm that each elevator unit is ready for inspection.
Inspection scheduling is contingent upon availability of State resources.
