ASME A17.1-2019/CSA B44:19 Safety Code For Elevators
The adoption of the 2019 Safety Code for Elevators is underway. To enhance safety for passengers who are hearing or visually impaired, the updated code introduces new mandatory requirements, including two-way text messaging and real-time video feed of the inside of the elevator cab.
The Thunder Solution
To meet the new Safety Code for Elevators requirements, Vidatech introduces the Thunder Emergency Communication System (TECS).
The TECS is an emergency elevator phone that allows trapped passengers to communicate directly with assistance.
TECS complies with the updated 2019 Safety Code for Elevators, including all requirements related to emergency communications. This system is designed to be simple and intuitive to use.
