875—71.7 (89A) Operating permits.
	 71.7(1) Operation of equipment covered by this chapter without a current operating permit is prohibited, except as authorized by rules 875—71.6(89A), 875—71.8(89A), and 875—71.20(89A). If operation of a conveyance is prohibited under this rule, the labor commissioner may post notice on the conveyance that it is not to be used. The conveyance may be returned to service only after an operating permit for the conveyance has been issued or reissued.
	 71.7(2) Operating permits shall not be issued prior to successful completion of an inspection pursuant to rule 875—71.11(89A) and payment of all permit and inspection fees owed to the division.
	 71.7(3) Current operating permits or copies of current operating permits shall be conspicuously displayed as follows:
	  a.   	 The operating permit for an elevator or CPH shall be posted in the car.
	  b.   	 The operating permit for an escalator, dumbwaiter, wind tower lift, moving walk, or wheelchair lift shall be posted on or near the subject conveyance.
	 71.7(4) An operating permit shall expire 60 days after the first permit renewal inspection following the issuance of the operating permit, unless an earlier date is dictated by this rule.
	 71.7(5) An operating permit is automatically suspended when an alteration begins. The operating permit automatically resumes when the elevator passes an inspection pursuant to rule 875—71.11(89A).
	 71.7(6) An operating permit is automatically terminated when an imminent danger notice is posted on the conveyance.
	 71.7(7) Notwithstanding other provisions of this rule, at the discretion of the labor commissioner, a temporary operating permit may be issued for up to 30 days provided the inspection has been completed and no code violations were identified. Issuance of a temporary operating permit does not extend the expiration date of the conveyance’s operating permit.
