据美国国家工业电梯公司（National Elevator Industry Inc.,NEII）报道，目前该机构正在积极确保电梯工作持续进行。目前，截至2020年3月20日，没有已知法规由于COVID-19的发生而限制电梯公司继续实施预见性维护、商品召回、困梯事故救援或处理电梯/自动扶梯事故等，而且目前保证建筑内电梯设备的运行被认为是“必不可少”的。然而，部分法规限制了美国国内的电梯检验工作，比如在此期间，乔治亚州不再进行电梯检测，马里兰州暂停电梯设备验收检验，俄亥俄州暂停年度检验，宾夕法尼亚州更是暂停了电梯生产。
NEII UPDATES MEMBERS, INDUSTRY ON CORONAVIRUS
The National Elevator Industry, Inc. (NEII) reported that it is actively engaged to ensure elevator work continues. There were no known jurisdictions restricting elevator companies from performing ongoing preventive maintenance, callbacks, responses to entrapments or shutdowns of elevators and escalators as of March 20, adding that it is working to ensure all elevator work is deemed “essential” in all buildings. However, a few jurisdictions have changed their policies on inspections, with Georgia no longer conducting them, Maryland suspending acceptance inspections and Ohio suspending annual inspections. Manufacturing was suspended in Pennsylvania.
