The 2019 edition reference is A.8.3.3.1 and this edition has an additional sentence tacked to the end of the statement. "Transport of flammable, corrosive, toxic
or highly toxic gases, cryogenic cylinders or dewars, or dry ice and similar oxygen depleting compounds should always be done with no one in the elevator."

The "non-requirement" is found in Annex A of NFPA 45, A.8.2.3.1. I suspect that the "suggestion-to-requirement" will be up to the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
I must have remembered wrong. There certainly should be a lot of rules in place not to have the public sharing the elevator with large
shipments of liquid chemicals such as those planned for transport within a particular public building I'm thinking of. It just seems crazy to me. Monona

It is a best practice not to move gas cylinders, cryogenic cylinders, and
even dry ice on elevators due to the potential for asphyxiation, fire, or
toxic exposure in the event of an extended elevator failure or
cylinder/container release but I don't know of any code that prevents it.

Re: chemicals on passenger elevators new thread
I remember people talking about a standard that addressed the use of
passenger elevators for transport of chemicals to labs. Can someone help
me find that standard and reference?
Thanks muchly
