ASME’s BREADTH OF OFFERINGS:
ASME offers the public and private sectors a comprehensive portfolio of codes and standards offerings, which govern elevators and escalators.  The Society develops and maintains eight major codes addressing safety in design, construction, installation, operation, inspection, testing, maintenance, alteration, and repair of elevators, dumbwaiters, escalators, moving walks, material lifts, and dumbwaiters with automatic transfer devices, wheelchair lifts, or inclined-stairway chair lifts. Thus, ASME extends its broad perspective on safety across a full range of industry products and applications.

About ASME Safety Codes and Standards
ASME plays an active role in protecting the public through the development of Safety Codes and Standards, which are managed by the Board on Safety Codes and Standards (BSCS). The BSCS is responsible for the management of all ASME activities related to codes, standards, and accreditation and certification programs directly applicable to safety codes, safety standards, and related accreditation and certification activities.   

ASME: "Setting the Standard" for 125 Years
ASME helped pioneer the development of modern industrial codes, beginning with its first published standard in 1884 on pressure-testing for boilers.  It seeks to balance interests among its 4,000 technical experts drawn from industry, government and academia, while achieving consensus in the finished output.  The process remains open and transparent throughout, yielding codes that withstand scrutiny across markets and jurisdictions.
