Home Forums General Discussion Code Questions group 4

Anybody have any new group 4 elevators that are over a year old in california. My buddy just got some orders to comply from the state and now with group 4 elevators they want to witness the no load test on a hydro. So the state is going to charge the customer for the inspection and then charge them again to witness the test. Cha-ching I guess california is making revenue any way they can.

I don't know about California but here in Maryland we have to do a pretest on mod and new construction jobs with a third party QEI inspector prior to the state inspector coming out. The state inspector sometimes will repeat the entire test regardless of what the QEI report says. Of course on two or more units the state has to be scheduled for several days at a time. It's a total pain and a scheduling nightmare since the state only gives you a week between the third party and their own inspection.
