WASHINGTON – RESNA has announced that public comments will open May 9 for the final draft standard, “RESNA ED-1 Standard for Evacuation Devices - Volume 1: Emergency Stair Travel Devices used by Individuals with Disabilities,” developed by its Standards Committee. This standard covers the terminology, description, performance, inspection and maintenance of devices whose primary purpose is the travel of individuals with disabilities over stair and horizontal surfaces during building evacuations. This standard does not cover devices whose purpose is the travel of individuals with disabilities during routine travel on stairs. This standard includes requirements and test methods for determining emergency stair travel device performance. It also includes requirements for the disclosure of the test results. If you would like to review this draft standard and provide comments, please email RESNA at technicalstandards@resna.org.
