Candidates should use both references during preparation and become familiar with how each standard is organized. Knowing which book is likely to contain the information needed for a question can make reference navigation more efficient.

Open Book Test

The Nevada C-7 Elevation and Conveyance examination is an open-book test with specific approved references. The books included in this package are ASME A17.1 - Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators, 2016 and ASME A18.1 Safety Standard for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chairlifts, 2017.

Open-book testing does not remove the need for preparation. Technical standards can contain detailed sections, definitions, exceptions, equipment-specific provisions, and cross-references. Candidates should know how the books are organized before they enter the examination room.

A useful preparation method is to begin with a technical topic and determine which reference applies. Then locate the section, review the complete requirement, and read the surrounding provisions for context.

For elevator and escalator questions, ASME A17.1 will often be the applicable reference. Candidates should become familiar with its structure and terminology so they can locate relevant provisions more efficiently.

For platform lift and stairway chairlift questions, ASME A18.1 should be used. Candidates should understand that these systems have their own dedicated requirements and should practice locating information in that standard separately.

Open-book preparation works best when candidates understand the systems first and use the books as technical support. Strong trade knowledge helps identify what a question is asking, while reference familiarity helps confirm detailed requirements when a lookup is needed.

Licensing Steps

The Nevada C-7 Elevation and Conveyance examination is one part of the contractor licensing process. Applicants must complete the applicable licensing requirements in addition to preparing for the trade examination.

1. Determine the appropriate classification. Confirm that the C-7 Elevation and Conveyance classification matches the type of contracting work the business intends to perform.
2. Identify the qualifying individual. The contractor application must identify the individual who provides the qualifying trade experience and knowledge for the requested classification.
3. Prepare qualifying experience documentation. Organize experience information related to elevation, conveyance, elevator, escalator, lift, or related work.
4. Complete the contractor license application. Provide the required business, qualifying individual, experience, financial, and supporting information.
5. Submit the application for review. The applicable licensing review must be completed before examination eligibility is established.
6. Receive examination eligibility. Eligible candidates receive instructions for proceeding with the required contractor examinations.
7. Prepare for the C-7 trade examination. Review elevation and conveyance systems and practice using ASME A17.1 and ASME A18.1.
8. Complete required examinations. Candidates must satisfy the examination requirements associated with their Nevada contractor license application unless an approved waiver applies.
9. Complete remaining licensing requirements. Any additional requirements must be completed before a contractor license can be issued.

Exam preparation can begin while licensing documentation is being organized. Using the ASME references consistently during the preparation period can help candidates build technical knowledge and stronger navigation skills before testing.

State Requirements

Nevada contractor applicants must demonstrate qualification for the classification requested and complete the applicable licensing process before a contractor license can be issued.

The qualifying individual is responsible for establishing the trade experience and knowledge associated with the C-7 Elevation and Conveyance classification. Candidates should make sure their experience documentation accurately reflects applicable work performed within the trade.

Elevation and conveyance contracting involves specialized systems and safety requirements. Candidates should be prepared to demonstrate knowledge related to elevators, escalators, dumbwaiters, conveyors, platform lifts, stairway chairlifts, controls, safety devices, and related equipment.

The licensing process includes more than the trade examination. Applicants must also satisfy the applicable application, business, financial, examination, and other requirements associated with Nevada contractor licensing.

Passing the C-7 trade examination is an important step, but it does not replace the remaining requirements needed for contractor licensure.
