The american-standards-association is referenced in the 1935-miami-dade-building-code as the body that recommended the “Safety Code for Elevators” (1925 Edition) and its subsequent amendments. Compliance with this code is mandatory for the construction, alteration, use, and maintenance of all elevators, escalators, and dumbwaiters in the City of Miami (p. 311). This requirement is part of the broader elevator-safety-standards outlined in Chapter 48 of the code.
