The Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry has adopted rules governing elevators and related devices by updating the editions of several codes and standards for elevators and related devices published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), including ASME A17.1/CSA B44-2016 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators, and ASME A17.3-2015 Safety Code for Existing Elevators and Escalators.
