This First Edition includes standards for three technologies for elevator suspension, namely:

• Steel wire ropes
• Aramid fiber ropes
• Non-circular elastomeric coated steel suspension members

Each part of the standard includes the material properties, design, testing, inspection, and replacement criteria for these means.  A17.6 also includes the requirements for these three technologies, and provides direction for future constructions as new technology develops.  Uniform standards for these important items are necessary to ensure consistent levels of safety. 

This First Edition is unique in the world in addressing elevator suspension.  It is intended to be used in conjunction with ASME A17.1/CSA B44 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators.  Moreover, A17.6 joins with ASME's full series of A17 Codes and Standards, plus ASME’s related offerings, to provide you with the most comprehensive set of solutions available today for governing elevator systems.

Intended for anyone engaged in the safety of elevators, escalators and related conveyances, including those responsible for:  design, engineering and manufacture; installation, operation, testing, maintenance, alteration and repair; inspection; plans, contracts, administration, insurance and liability; property, facilities and plant management; and emergency response.
