Owners of elevators, escalators, dumbwaiters, and other equipment covered by Iowa Code Chapter 89A
have many responsibilities.
- All covered equipment must be registered with DIAL.
- A current operating permit must be posted at all times.
- The owner must hire a qualified elevator maintenance company to perform regular safety tests.
- Owners of older elevators may have to upgrade their equipment by May 1, 2021, to enhance safety.
In addition the equipment must be inspected on a regular schedule. The owner may hire a qualified, private inspector. Otherwise, an inspector employed by the State of Iowa will inspect. If the equipment does not meet code, corrections will be required.
