據(jù)美國國家工業(yè)電梯公司（National Elevator Industry Inc.,NEII）報道，目前該機構(gòu)正在積極確保電梯工作持續(xù)進行。目前，截至2020年3月20日，沒有已知法規(guī)由于COVID-19的發(fā)生而限制電梯公司繼續(xù)實施預(yù)見性維護、商品召回、困梯事故救援或處理電梯/自動扶梯事故等，而且目前保證建筑內(nèi)電梯設(shè)備的運行被認為是“必不可少”的。然而，部分法規(guī)限制了美國國內(nèi)的電梯檢驗工作，比如在此期間，喬治亞州不再進行電梯檢測，馬里蘭州暫停電梯設(shè)備驗收檢驗，俄亥俄州暫停年度檢驗，賓夕法尼亞州更是暫停了電梯生產(chǎn)。

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.
