Lift and Elevator Codes and Standards in Marshall Islands

NOT CONFIRMED FOR LIFTS: The Republic of the Marshall Islands National Building Code (2021 edition) is based on the 2018 International Building Code with provisions from the IRC, IPC and IMC, adapted locally (ICC; PRIF); the National Building Code Act 2025 (P.L. 36-2025, minimum standards for design, materials, occupancy and upkeep; provides for a building inspector and building committee) is listed on PacLII. Administered by the Division of Building Safety & Regulations, Ministry of Public Works, Infrastructure and Utilities; the first permitted building was due in December 2026. The RMI code text was not read, so whether it keeps the IBC elevator chapter or references ASME A17.1 is unverified. The Occupational Health and Safety Act 2023 (P.L. 2023-92, Labour Division, Ministry of Justice, Immigration and Labour) is a general workplace law; its text was not read. No lift inspection regime or installer licensing found.
