Code ASME A 17.1-2000, Paragraph 6.1.6.3.13 requires periodic inspection and test of the escalator’s comb impact and vertical lift devices.
Additionally, the 2004 Code requires Skirt Deflection to be limited to 1/16th of an inch under a force of 150 lbs.

Simplifying the Test Process

The CIVL-SD Test Set
Until now these tests have been costly and time consuming. Repeatable measurements have been difficult to obtain for inspectors. The new self contained Comb Impact, Vertical Lift with new Skirt Deflection unit “CIVL-SD” Test Set makes testing fast, easy, and repeatable to help you keep escalators in compliance!
