Project Initiation Notification System (PINS)ANSI Procedures require notification of ANSI by ANSI-accredited standards developers (ASD) of the initiation and scope of activities expected to result innew or revised American National Standards (ANS). Early notification of activity intended to reaffirm or withdraw an ANS and in some instances a PINSrelated to a national adoption is optional. The mechanism by which such notification is given is referred to as the PINS process. For additional information,see clause 2.4 of the ANSI Essential Requirements: Due Process Requirements for American National Standards.

Following is a list of proposed actions and new ANS that have been received recently from ASDs. Please also review the section in Standards Actionentitled "American National Standards Maintained Under Continuous Maintenance" for additional or comparable information with regard to standardsmaintained under the continuous maintenance option.

American National StandardsMaintained Under ContinuousMaintenanceThe ANSI Essential Requirements: Due Process Requirements forAmerican National Standards provide two options for the maintenanceof American National Standards (ANS): periodic maintenance (seeclause 4.7.1) and continuous maintenance (see clause 4.7.2).Continuous maintenance is defined as follows:

The standard shall be maintained by an accredited standardsdeveloper. A documented program for periodic publication ofrevisions shall be established by the standards developer.Processing of these revisions shall be in accordance with theseprocedures. The published standard shall include a clear statementof the intent to consider requests for change and information on thesubmittal of such requests. Procedures shall be established fortimely, documented consensus action on each request for changeand no portion of the standard shall be excluded from the revisionprocess. In the event that no revisions are issued for a period of fouryears, action to reaffirm or withdraw the standard shall be taken inaccordance with the procedures contained in the ANSI EssentialRequirements.The Executive Standards Council (ExSC) has determined that forstandards maintained under the Continuous Maintenance option,separate PINS announcements are not required.

International Organization for Standardization (ISO) New Work Items Sustainability in Event Management Comment Deadline: July 10, 2009 ABNT (Brazil) and BSI (United Kingdom) have jointly proposed to ISO a proposal for a new ISO standard on the subject of Sustainability in Event Management, with the following scope statement:

Standardization in the field of sustainability in event management, with the aim to establish, implement, maintain and improve a sustainability management system for events; This standard:

- will enable those involved in event management to minimize and manage environmental, financial and social impacts linked to venue selection, operating procedures, supply chain management, procurement, employment, communications, transport and “end of life” issues linked to post event management;

- can be used by any organization or individual involved in the management of events – Client, supplier, or event manager – and will be applicable to any type of event (e.g., exhibition, sporting event, public concert);

- will enable industry to publicly demonstrate its commitment to sustainability and assist those companies who are not yet up to speed with a system to develop their capability;

- will enable self assurance of conformity with its

stated sustainability policy; - will allow demonstration of conformity.

This proposal has been sent to the members of the ANSI ISO Council (AIC). Anyone wishing to review the new work item can request a copy of the proposal by contacting Henrietta Scully, ANSI, via e-mail: [email protected] by July 7th with submission of comments to Steven Cornish ([email protected]) by close of business July 10, 2009.

Projects Management for the Reuse of Treated Wastewater Comment Deadline: July 24, 2009 SII (Israel) has submitted a proposal for a new ISO standard on the subject of Treated Wastewater Reuse Implementation, with the following scope statement:

Standardization in the field of projects management for the reuse of treated wastewater.

The standard will deal with the requirements and processes involved in the development of health, environmentally viable and sustainable projects for the reuse of treated wastewater in agriculture, landscape and industry. The standard will state the conditions necessary for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of such projects without endangering or causing damage to the health of the people affected by the projects to the environment, to the soil, or to the crops and to the hydrological situation in the area. The standardization process shall refer to the complex management of all the internal and external elements that affect or can be affected by the implementation of such projects and will refer to other aspects such as:

- wastewater treatment plants: design, building, operation and maintenance requirements,

- treated wastewater distribution and storage systems: design, building, operation and maintenance requirements,

- irrigation systems: design, operation and maintenance requirements,

- wastewater quality suitability to soils and crops

- wastewater quality demands, specially in hydrological sensible regions

This International guideline will deal with the management of projects, specifying requirements and procedures to integrate health and environmental aspects into design, operation and development processes of projects related to treated wastewater reuse and the products obtained from such projects.

This proposal has been sent to the members of the ANSI ISO Council (AIC). Anyone wishing to review the new work item can request a copy of the proposal by contacting Henrietta Scully, ANSI, via e-mail: [email protected] by July 21st with submission of comments to Steven Cornish, ([email protected]) by close of business July 24, 2009.


International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Reactivation ISO/TC 5 – Steam Turbines The U.S. National Committee/IEC has again been approached by the Secretary of IEC/TC 5 – Steam Turbines to report that efforts are heating up to reactivate the TC that has been in Stand-By status for several years. Apparently a formal action is to be taken shortly to request the IEC Standardization Management Board to officially reactivate the TC. The TC Secretary visited the US recently to meet with representatives of the related US industry to discuss their possible interest. Representatives of several companies have approached the USNC Office to advise that they are interested in joining this effort and would become active members of a rejuvenated USNC Technical Advisory Group, if one was to be established. The USNC has been a non-member of this TC for several years because there was no sufficient interest to maintain active participation and support a TAG. That situation may be changing. If the USNC is to again become a Participating Member of IEC/TC 5, a Technical Advisor and TAG Administrator would have to be appointed, and a TAG formed of all material interests.

Scope: The preparation of specifications and standards for the rating and testing of steam turbines.

If anyone is interested in the reactivation of IEC/TC 5, they are invited to contact Charlie Zegers, USNC General Secretary, at [email protected].

TAG Administrator Needed New IEC/TC 115 – High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Transmission for DC voltages above 100kV (Provisional) IEEE has advised that it is withdrawing as TAG Administrator for the new IEC/TC 115 – High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Transmission for DC voltages above 100kV (Provisional). Efforts are currently underway to establish the related Technical Advisory Group for this TC, whose first meeting took place on May 22 – 23, 2009 in Beijing, China. The Chinese National Committee is the Secretariat. Provisional Scope: Standardization in the field of HVDC Transmission technology above 100kV. The contents encompass general standards, design, technical requirements in the field of HVDC equipment, construction and commissioning for acceptance, operation and maintenance, system control and protection. Any organization interested in being assigned as TAG Administrator and anyone interested in TAG membership is invited to contact Mr Charlie Zegers, USNC/IEC General Secretary, at (212) 642-4965, [email protected].

Withdrawal of Administrative Secretariat IEC/TC 72 – Automatic Controls for Household Use The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) has advised the U.S. National Committee/IEC that it is withdrawing as Administrative Secretariat for IEC/TC 72 - Automatic controls for household use, and is giving the required 1-year notice.

Scope: To prepare standards related to inherent safety, to the operating characteristics where such are associated with applicational safety, and to testing of automatic electrical control devices used in appliances and other apparatus, electrical and non-electrical, for household and similar purposes, but also extended to industrial purposes when no dedicated product standards exist, such as that for central heating, air conditioning, process heating, etc., including the following:

(1) Automatic electrical control devices, mechanically, electromechanically, electrically or electronically operated, responsive to or controlling parameters such as temperature, pressure, passage of time, humidity, light, electrostatic effect, flow and liquid level. (2) Automatic electrical control devices serving the starting of small motors that are used principally in appliances and apparatus for household and similar purposes. Such control devices may be built into or be separate from the motor. (3) Non-automatic control devices when such are associated with automatic control devices.

The USNC Technical Management Committee had delegated Administrative Secretariat responsibility for this TC to NEMA some time ago and, as such, NEMA nominated and supported the International Secretary of the committee. With this withdrawal, the USNC TMC is looking for an entity to take on the responsibility of Administrative Secretariat and for nominating a Secretary to carry out the administrative work of the TC. The purpose of this notification is to invite anyone interested in this assignment to make that interest known as soon as possible to Charles T. Zegers, General Secretary, USNC/IEC, American national Standards Institute, 25 West 43rd Street, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10036, PHONE: (212) 642-4965, FAX: (212) 730-1346, E-mail: [email protected]. If no one steps forward to request this assignment, the USNC TMC will consider relinquishing the Secretariat of this IEC Technical Committee.

BSR/UL 1581

PROPOSAL

1090 Horizontal-Specimen Appliance-Wire Flame Test

1090.1 A horizontal specimen of finished appliance wire:

a) Shall not convey flame along its length, and

b) Shall not convey flame to combustible materials in its vicinity

after a single 30-s application of a 225-W test flame (770 Btu/h) nominally 50 mm high. This test is to be conducted as described in 1090.2 - 1090.6 (specimen supported horizontally) using one of the fuels described in 1090.1.1 and the standard laboratory burner described in ASTM D 5025- 05. The gas flame produced by the burner is to be calibrated as described in ASTM D 5207-03 with the following modifications to adapt the procedure for the 125-mm flame to the 50-mm flame:

c) The copper slug used for the 125-mm flame is also to be used for the 50-mm flame. For the 50-mm flame, the slug is to be positioned 25 mm or 1 inch above the tip of the burner during the calibration procedure.

d) The starting gas-flow rate for methane is to be 405 ±10 mL/min with a back pressure of 45 ±5 mm water.

e) The needle valve and air-inlet openings on the burner are to be adjusted until the overall height of the flame is 50 ±4 mm or 2 inches and the height of the blue inner cone is 16.5 ±1.5 mm or 11/16 inch.

f) The time for the temperature to rise from 100 to 700°C (212 to 1292°F) is to be 54 ±2 84 ±2 s.

The results of this test are to be judged as indicated in 1090.7.
