What does ASME A17.1 require in an elevator Maintenance Control Program?

ASME A17.1 requires that an elevator MCP include: the scope of maintenance tasks for each equipment component, the frequency of each task, the qualifications required for performing each task, and documentation of completion with dates and technician identifiers. The MCP must be specific to each elevator type and model rather than a generic checklist, and must be accessible to AHJ inspectors on request. Digital MCPs maintained in software like ElevatorPlus automatically satisfy these requirements by generating timestamped, technician-attributed maintenance records from completed mobile work orders.

How does a digital MCP simplify elevator compliance for US teams?

A digital MCP simplifies elevator compliance for US teams by automating the three most error-prone manual steps: scheduling maintenance tasks at the right frequency, documenting completion immediately when work is done, and organizing records so they can be retrieved instantly during an AHJ inspection. With a paper MCP, technicians often complete the maintenance but delay documentation, creating compliance gaps that don't reflect actual service activity. ElevatorPlus closes this gap by generating digital MCP entries automatically when a technician completes and submits a work order from the field.

How does ElevatorPlus help US elevator companies implement a digital MCP?

ElevatorPlus helps US elevator companies implement a digital MCP by providing pre-built maintenance task templates aligned with ASME A17.1 requirements, which are customized to each equipment type in a company's portfolio and then automatically scheduled at the correct frequency for each unit. Technicians access their MCP tasks through the mobile app as part of their daily work order queue, complete checklist items during the visit, and submit digital sign-off - creating the required documentation without any separate record-keeping step. The complete digital MCP for any unit can be exported as an AHJ-ready report in minutes.
