Design Registration Submissions for Elevating Devices

The design registration submissions for all elevating devices can also be sent electronically to our designated email address at elevatordesign@tsask.ca for your convenience. This will include any manuals which may be required for the design registration process.

The documents will be reviewed and a stamped approved copy of the relevant material will be sent to the submitter directly upon completion.

This provides another option for the contractor rather than sending in duplicate paper copies for the approval process.

Below the information that is required to be submitted for elevator design registration.
