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.
