MEA stands for Materials and Equipment Acceptance. In NYC, there is no MEA requirement or pre-approval process for platform lifts. They must be permitted and inspected by the Elevator Division, like commercial elevators. For plans, simply note "to be filed under separate elevator permit." While requests for MEA#s still occur, the process hasn’t applied to wheelchair lifts for over 20 years. The city's MEA index lists wheelchair lifts as a category, but it contains outdated or incorrect information.
