NEII-1 is a set of building transportation standards and guidelines. Included are architectural and engineering layout standards, electrical standards, performance standards and terminology, modernization guidelines and maintenance guidelines. Architects, engineers, consultants, builders, owners, elevator suppliers and other individuals involved in the furnishing, installation and maintenance of building transportation systems will find these standards an invaluable source of reference and information.
This document is available electronically at no cost and is updated in real-time to keep in step with industry advances. Current standards, forms and information like temporary power guidelines, ASME A17.1/CSA B44 Code data and electromagnetic compatibility guidelines are examples of the resources available in NEII-1.
