Issue 4 - Updates the table in Section 8.3.3, Analysis, which
requirestreated effluent analysis for TKN, NO2, and NO3, However,
this samesection requires the raw influent to be analyzed for TKN
and not NO2 orNO3, thus not meeting the definition of total
nitrogen. The result is apotential discrepancy in calculating the
total nitrogen reductionperformance.

BSR/IEEE C57.155-201x, Guide for Interpretation of Gases
Generatedin Natural Ester and Synthetic Ester Immersed Transformers
(newstandard)
Covers Natural- and Synthetic-Ester-immersed transformers.
Thisguide addresses the following:- The theory of combustible gas
generation in a natural and syntheticester filled transformer;-
Interpretation of the dissolved gas analysis results;- Recommended
actions based on the interpretation of dissolved gasanalysis
results; and- A bibliography of related literature.
Project Need: Laboratories in North America have reported a
largeincrease in the samples submitted for analysis during the past
year.Based on this report, a summary of the available information
isneeded to instruct transformer operators on the evaluating
thesample results for fluids in natural-ester- and
synthetic-ester-filledtransformers. There is a very limited amount
of field data so theGuide will include recent laboratory experience
results.
Stakeholders: Transformer operators, Dielectric
laboratorytechnicians, and repair facilities.

TransformerLow-Voltage Terminals and the Line Side of the Service
EntrancePanel) (new standard)
Encompasses the application of surge-protective devices
(secondaryarresters) from the secondary terminals of the
distribution transformerto the line side of the service entrance
panel. This guide providesinsight into the use of C62.34 Standard
for Test Methods andPerformance of Low-Voltage (1000 V or Less)
Surge ProtectiveDevices Used on Secondary Distribution Systems
(Between theTransformer Low-Voltage Terminals and the Line Side of
the ServiceEntrance Equipment). Also, this guide addresses
coordination from theprimary arrester to sensitive loads and
grounding practices.

Competency Framework leverages the Healthcare Learning
ObjectMetadata and may reference external competency definitions
ofdifferent formats. It contains metadata about the framework as
well asrelationships (hierarchical and non-hierarchical) among
competencyobjects and potentially existing frameworks that comprise
theCompetency Framework.
Project Need: The use of outcome and competency frameworks is
agrowing part of healthcare education and maintenance
ofcertification. Currently, there is no standard way to represent
theseframeworks, and therefore no easy way to import/export
competencyframeworks across systems.
Stakeholders: Medical schools, hospitals, certifying boards,
licensingboards, government agencies, professional associations,
continuingeducation providers, information technology vendors,
accreditationorganizations, healthcare professionals.

BSR/NACE SP0508-201x, Methods of Validating Equivalence to
ISO8502-9 on Measurement of the Levels of Soluble Salts (revision
ofANSI/NACE SP0508-2008)
The assessment and determination of surface contamination (by
salts)prior to application of protective coatings is critical to
their service lifeexpectancy. Determination of the level of surface
cleanliness isconducted by extraction of soluble salt contaminants
following ISO8502-6 -The Bresle method, part of ISO 8502-9. The
determination ofthe level of salt is performed by following ISO
8502-9 - Field method forthe conductometric determination of
water-soluble salts. The objectiveof this standard is to determine
whether methods other than the Breslepatch application method are
suitable alternatives for measuring saltcontamination in the
field.
Project Need: To provide a way to establish equivalence by
testingand comparing results of the tests to meet established
criteria thatwould be achieved using the method specified in ISO
8502-9.
Stakeholders: Engineers, specification writers, test
equipmentsuppliers, contractors.
