Steps

  1. Confirm the MCP requirement sits in A17.1 Part 8, Section 8.6 ('Maintenance, Repair, Replacement, and Testing'), with the MCP content requirement specifically at 8.6.1.2 in post-2000 editions.
  2. Confirm the building owner — not the maintenance contractor — bears ultimate responsibility for ensuring a compliant MCP exists and is followed, even though the contractor executes the maintenance.
  3. Verify a separate, unit-specific MCP exists for each individual conveyance, even when multiple identical units exist in the same building.
  4. Confirm the MCP documents examination, testing, cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment tasks with defined intervals for each applicable component.
  5. Verify MCP records are retained a minimum of 5 years per 8.6.1.4 and remain available on-site, physically or electronically; reference Nonmandatory Appendix Y for a records template.
