How our Elevator Maintenance Control Program service works
ASME A17.1 Section 8.6 requires a Maintenance Control Program for each elevator: a documented plan of examinations, tests, and maintenance tasks tailored to the equipment. We help owners understand what a proper MCP looks like, review the program provided by the contractor, and confirm it reflects your actual equipment and usage.
Common problems we solve
- Your contractor's MCP is a generic template, not specific to your units.
- You cannot find the MCP or its records on site.
- An inspector cited the building for MCP deficiencies.
What you receive
- Review of existing MCP documents
- Equipment-specific task and interval recommendations
- Record-keeping structure for on-site documentation
- Guidance on owner responsibilities under the code
The outcome
A meaningful, equipment-specific maintenance plan that satisfies inspectors and actually guides the work technicians perform.
Local expertise from Fairfax, VA
Jurisdictions in Virginia, DC, and Maryland increasingly check MCP records during inspections. We help buildings get ahead of those reviews.
Elevator Maintenance Control Program FAQ
What is an elevator Maintenance Control Program?
An MCP is a code-required document listing the maintenance tasks, examinations, and tests for each elevator, with intervals and records.
Who is responsible for the MCP?
The owner is ultimately responsible, though the maintenance contractor typically prepares and executes it.
Can you fix a generic MCP?
Yes. We identify what is missing and specify the equipment-specific content the contractor must add.
