Intent 1:
To limit the probability that deficiencies in emergency
power and service features of elevators will go unnoticed, which could
lead to such features not operating as originally intended in a fire
situation, which could lead to:
- delays or inefficiencies in emergency suppression operations,
which could lead to the spread of fire, which could lead to harm to
persons, including emergency responders,
- delays or inefficiencies in emergency rescue operations,
which could lead to delays in the evacuation or movement of persons
to a safe place, which could lead to harm to persons, including emergency
responders, and
- persons being trapped in a stalled elevator car, or
elevator entrances opening on the fire floor and exposing the car
occupants to fire, which could lead to harm to persons.
