1. ASME A17.1 Section 8, step/skirt performance index
The escalator skirt shall not be cleaned, lubricated or otherwise modified in preparation for testing. The escalator instantaneous
step/skirt performance index measurements (ASME A17.1 Rule 8.6.8.3) shall be recorded at intervals no larger than 150 mm (6 in)
from each side of two distinct steps along the inclined portion of the escalator, where the steps are fully extended. Test steps shall
be separated by a minimum of 8 steps.

2. ASME A17.1 Section 8, clearance between step and skirt (loaded gap installed under ASME A17.1d-2000)
Loaded gap measurements shall be taken at intervals not exceeding 300 mm (12 in) in transition region (ASME A17.1 Rule 8.6.8.2)
and before the steps are fully extended. These measurements shall be made independently on each side of the escalator.
