Ch. 5

is required to pay a fee for an inspection of an elevator, dumbwaiter,
escalator, or moving walk under Part II of this subtitle.

In subsection (b)(3) of this section, the reference to the requirements of
"Part II of this subtitle" is substituted for the former inaccurate reference
to the requirements of "this subsection". The requirements for elevators,
dumbwaiters, escalators, and moving walks are found in provisions
throughout Part II of this revised subtitle, not only in the provisions that
revise former Art. 89, § 49B(i).

Defined terms: "Commissioner" § 12-801
"Elevator unit" § 12-801

12-810. FINAL ACCEPTANCE INSPECTION.

(A)     REQUIRED.

THE COMMISSIONER SHALL CONDUCT A FINAL ACCEPTANCE INSPECTION ON
COMPLETION OF THE INSTALLATION OF AN ELEVATOR UNIT BEFORE IT IS PLACED IN
SERVICE.

(B)     INSPECTION CHECKLIST.

THE COMMISSIONER SHALL PROVIDE AN INSPECTION CHECKLIST THAT
SPECIFIES THE REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE SAFETY CODE AND
OTHER REGULATIONS ADOPTED BY THE COMMISSIONER

(C)     DUTIES OF CONTRACTOR

BEFORE SCHEDULING A FINAL ACCEPTANCE INSPECTION WITH THE
COMMISSIONER FOR AN ELEVATOR UNIT BEING INSTALLED IN THE STATE, THE
CONTRACTOR SHALL ENSURE THAT:

(1)      THE ELEVATOR UNIT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SAFETY
CODE AND OTHER REGULATIONS ADOPTED BY THE COMMISSIONER; AND

(2)      THE ELEMENTS INDICATED ON THE INSPECTION CHECKLIST ARE
OPERATIONAL, HAVE BEEN TESTED, AND ARE FUNCTIONAL.

(D)     FAILURE TO MEET CRITERIA.

IF AN INSPECTOR ARRIVES TO INSPECT AN ELEVATOR UNIT AT THE
DESIGNATED TIME AND THE ELEVATOR UNIT DOES NOT MEET THE CRITERIA
ESTABLISHED IN SUBSECTION (C) OF THIS SECTION, THE INSPECTOR MAY CANCEL
THE INSPECTION AND CHARGE THE CONTRACTOR A FEE IN ACCORDANCE WITH §
12-809 OF THIS SUBTITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 89, § 49B(b)(11) and (12) and (i)(2).

Subsection (a) of this section is revised as a requirement for the
Commissioner to conduct a final acceptance inspection of an elevator unit
rather than as a definition of "final acceptance inspection" for clarity. The
