Elevators, Escalators, and Wheelchair Lifts

Elevators, escalators and related equipment are governed by Iowa Code Chapter 89A as amended by House File 369. 

People on an elevatorState law requires that elevators, escalators, dumbwaiters, and related equipment comply with all applicable rules and statutes. No new installation or alteration work may begin in Iowa until the installer obtains the proper permit from the Iowa Division of Labor.  Applications for installation or alteration permits should be submitted eight weeks before work is scheduled to begin.  The permit is to be posted on the job site at the time the work begins. The equipment cannot be used until it passes inspection by a state inspector.

Accessibility requirements for elevators are enforced by the Department of Public Safety and local jurisdictions.  For more information, call (515) 725-6154 or visit http://www.dps.state.ia.us/fm/building/index.shtml. 

You may request that the Elevator Safety Board review an inspection report, grant a variance from a rule, or change a rule.  Click here for more information about the Elevator Safety Board.
