242. When transporting persons, a conveyance shall travel at a speed of less than 8 m (26.2 ft) per second.
A greater speed that does not exceed the rated speed of the conveyance is permitted for the transportation of persons if
(1) alignment tests are carried out on the shaft guides with a decelerometer and recorded at intervals not exceeding 6 months; an alignment test is also required following any incident damaging the shaft structure; and
(2) the results of the tests performed at the speed referred to in the second paragraph with a load corresponding to the maximum number of persons permitted in the conveyance show a deceleration lower than 0.5 G in the vertical, lateral and longitudinal axes.
Where the rated speed of the conveyance is greater than 8 m (26.2 ft) per second, a speed limiting device must be installed to be activated automatically when the hoistman responds to a 3-bell signal.
