What is likely happening
This is a compliance gap. Most jurisdictions require periodic inspections and tests (for example annual inspections and five-year full-load tests) with the results filed. We perform and witness the required tests and handle the filing.
What you can safely check
- Find the date of the last inspection certificate posted in the car or machine room.
What an inspector will look at
- Required periodic inspection or test
- Witnessing where required
- Filing
Does this affect compliance?
Names and cycles vary: NYC uses Category 1 and Category 5 tests; other states use annual certificates.
When it becomes urgent
More urgent if you have a violation or an expired certificate posted in the car.
