ANSI E1.42-2023
Entertainment Technology - Safety Standard for Entertainment Lifts
Stage and orchestra lifts are specifically excluded from ASME A17.1 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators. The previous version of E1.42 provided a reference standard for the design, manufacture, installation, and inspection of orchestra pit lifts. This revision expands its scope to include stage lifts and other similar lifts. These lifts have widely varying requirements and operating conditions. Procedures for risk assessment and risk reduction have been added to accommodate these conditions. As a result, many sections have been reorganized and renumbered. To reflect the increased scope and more closely follow ASME A17.1, the title has also been changed to Safety Standard for Entertainment Lifts.
