Confirm the required cadence for monthly fire service Phase I/Phase II elevator recall testing and what the test log must capture

Steps

  1. Confirm the baseline ASME A17.1 expectation that elevators with firefighters' emergency operation undergo Phase I recall testing (via the key switch) and at least one-floor Phase II in-car operation testing on a monthly basis
  2. Check whether the specific state/city has adopted a different cadence — some jurisdictions (Washington State was cited as an example) use a quarterly interval instead of monthly, so confirm locally rather than assuming the ASME baseline applies unmodified
  3. Confirm the test log format captures date, both Phase I and Phase II actions performed, and outcome/findings, and that it's kept available to elevator personnel and the AHJ
  4. Retain the completed logs for the AHJ's required retention period alongside other MCP-related maintenance records
  5. Where a fire alarm system interfaces with elevator recall, confirm that interface is included in the monthly (or locally-set) test scope rather than tested separately on its own schedule
