How Our National Inspection Services Work

ATIS streamlines escalator and elevator compliance management for national portfolios by handling every aspect of the inspection process from start to finish.

Our team then develops a tailored inspection plan, automating reminders and coordinating scheduling. We also track and update all inspection dates, outcomes, and potential violations. You can access the information on your ATIS Alert for complete visibility across your entire portfolio. Whenever an issue arises, we assist with the resolution and keep documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you're looking to streamline elevator inspections across your portfolio, the answers to these common questions can help:

Consider these factors:
- Covered jurisdictions: Selecting an elevator inspection company enables you to access services that cover all properties across your portfolio. However, jurisdictions have varying regulations, so choose a company that understands your state, province, or local area.
- Inspector qualifications: QEIs undergo rigorous background checks and examinations. They must have at least four years of industry experience and maintain their qualifications through the ASME QEI-1. Our team consists of over 185 QEIs, enabling us to deploy inspectors as needed across larger footprints. Our inspectors can also provide test witnessing services, should you need them for routine and periodic inspections.
- Centralization: Our proprietary ATIS Alert platform gives you real-time visibility into your inspection and compliance status with color-coded alerts of any issues to be addressed. We then coordinate with maintenance providers to resolve these issues promptly and handle the documentation process.
ATIS helps you seamlessly coordinate elevator inspections across the United States and Canadian provinces. Our process includes:
1. Review your elevator assets and compliance schedules: We document all elevator systems across your portfolio and confirm your existing compliance schedules. Our team is knowledgeable of the regulatory requirements in each state, province, and local jurisdiction that can impact these schedules.
2. Centralize information in our proprietary platform: We incorporate your unique asset information in ATIS Alert, which enables you to see the status of your vertical transportation systems. You can print inspection reports and use the data to make informed decisions.
3. Building a tailored inspection plan: Each authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) has its own inspection timeline and documentation requirements. We tailor your plan accordingly. We also track and update inspection outcomes and potential violations. We assist with resolving issues while helping maintain accurate documentation.
Managing elevator inspection schedules across multiple properties can get complicated quickly. Missed deadlines can lead to noncompliance and elevator shutdowns. A third-party inspector with regulatory expertise can simplify compliance, ensure the safety of your passengers, and protect you from regulatory repercussions.
There is no official QEI organization. Rather, QEIs are professionals certified to perform mandated elevator inspections. The QEI certification exam stems from the requirements of the ASME QEI-1 Standard for the Qualification of Elevator Inspectors. It's administered by authoritative bodies, such as NAESA International, a nonprofit organization consisting of professionals in the elevator industry.
All ATIS elevator inspectors are fully trained and qualified and hold the QEI certification. They also complete ongoing education to ensure your vertical transportation systems meet the highest industry standards.
