Which codes must be complied with for installation?

• A. Electrical Codes
• B. Installation Codes
• C. Building Codes
• D. Safety Codes

Answer: (B)

When installing equipment, you follow installation codes that lay out the proper methods and procedures for putting it in service. Installation codes specify the correct techniques, sequence, materials, clearances, anchorage, alignment, and testing needed to install an escalator or moving walk safely and reliably, and to ensure it can be commissioned and operated as intended. They also reference following the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Other codes handle specific areas like wiring (electrical codes), structural and architectural aspects (building codes), or general safety requirements (safety codes). But for the act of installing itself, installation codes provide the framework that ensures the job is done correctly from start to finish.
