O. Reg. 209/01, s. 15 (4); O. Reg. 252/08, s. 9 (3). (5) Drawings shall, (a)  be identified by a number and date in addition to the information required to be given under clauses (4) (a) and (b); (b)  include layouts, plans and elevation views of the elevating device or parts thereof and set out all the information that is necessary to demonstrate conformity with this Regulation, the code adoption document and any applicable director’s order; (c)  include electric, electronic, hydraulic and pneumatic schematic diagrams that indicate safety related circuitry and components and that identify the sequence of operation of the safety related components; (d)  include a legend or a reference to a relevant standard for all symbols used in the drawings; (e)  be prepared in accordance with good engineering and drafting practices; and (f)  be accurate and complete.  O. Reg. 209/01, s. 15 (5); O. Reg. 252/08, s. 9 (4). (6) All individual documents composing a design submission shall bear the signature and seal, or the electronic equivalent, of the professional engineer who prepared or approved the design submission.  O. Reg. 209/01, s. 15 (6). (7) A design submission for an elevating device shall include a statement bearing the seal and signature, or the electronic equivalent, of the professional engineer who prepared or approved the submission stating that the whole design of the elevating device, including the parts and features not specifically identified in the design submission, are in compliance with this Regulation, except for any variances set out in the submission.  O. Reg. 209/01, s. 15 (7). (8) A professional engineer who makes a statement under subsection (7) may rely on the opinion of, or information obtained from, another professional engineer or an architect and may indicate in what respect he or she is relying on such an opinion or on such information.  O. Reg. 209/01, s. 15 (8). (9) All individual documents comprising the design submission may be signed by an officer or director of the company applying for registration if the officer or director is a mechanic or by a mechanic with an appropriate certificate who performed or supervised the work and the design submission relates to, (a)  a material construction hoist, stair chair lift or unenclosed vertical platform lift that is based on a previously registered standard design submission; or (b)  a specific type of minor alteration that, in the opinion of the director, does not have a significant effect on the safety of the elevating device.  O. Reg. 209/01, s. 15 (9); O. Reg. 252/08, s. 9 (5, 6). (10) The director may require such additional information with respect to a design submission as is necessary for the purpose of ensuring that the design submission meets the requirements of this Regulation and that the integrity of the design does not raise safety concerns.  O. Reg. 209/01, s. 15 (10).
