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 Action entitled"American National Standards Maintained Under Continuous Maintenance" for additional or comparable information with regard to standards maintainedunder the continuous maintenance option. To view information about additional standards for which a PINS has been submitted and to search approvedANS, please visit www.NSSN.org, which is a database of standards information. Note that this database is not exhaustive.

Directly and materially affected interests wishing to receive more information or to submit comments are requested to contact the standards developer directlywithin 30 days of the publication of this announcement.

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. The following ANSIAccredited Standards Developers have formally registered standardsunder the Continuous Maintenance option.

• AAMVA

• AGRSS, Inc

• ASC B109 (AGA)

• ASHRAE

Proposed Foreign Government Regulations

Call for Comment

U.S. manufacturers, exporters, regulatory agencies and standards developing organizations may be interested in proposed foreign technical regulations issued by Member countries of the World Trade Organization (WTO). In accordance with the WTO Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT Agreement), Members are required to report proposed technical regulations that may significantly affect trade to the WTO Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland. In turn, the Secretariat disseminates the information to all WTO Members. The purpose of this requirement is to provide global trading partners with an opportunity to review and comment on the regulations before they become final.

The National Center for Standards and Certification Information (NCSCI) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology

(NIST), distributes these proposed foreign technical regulations to U.S. stakeholders via an online service, Notify U.S. Notify U.S. is an e-mail and Web service that allows interested U.S. parties to register, obtain notifications, and read full texts of regulations from countries and for industry sectors of interest to them. To register for Notify U.S., please go to Internet URL: http://www.nist.gov/notifyus/ and click on “Subscribe”.

NCSCI is the WTO TBT Inquiry Point for the U.S. and receives all notifications and full texts of regulations to disseminate to U.S. Industry. For further information, please contact: NCSCI, NIST, 100 Bureau Drive, Gaithersburg, MD 20899-2160; Telephone: (301) 975-4040; Fax: (301) 926-1559; E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected].

International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Call for International (ISO) Secretariat

ISO/TC 38 – Textiles

Comment Deadline, May 31, 2007 ANSI has been advised the United Kingdom (BSI) no longer wishes to serve as Secretariat for the above ISO Technical Committee.

The scope of ISO/TC 38 is as follows:

Standardization of:

- fibres, yarns, threads, cords, rope, cloth and other fabricated textile materials; and the methods of test, terminology and definitions relating thereto;

- textile industry raw materials, auxiliaries and chemical products required for processing and testing;

- specifications for textile products.

Anyone wishing the United States to assume the role of International Secretariat for ISO/TC 38 should contact Henrietta Scully of ANSI via e-mail, [email protected], by May 31, 2007.

Review of ISO Guide

ISO/IEC DGuide 76 – Development of service standards – Recommendations for addressing consumer issues

Comment Deadline: June 30, 2007 The following is the scope of Draft ISO/IEC Guide 76

This Guide provides general guidance on the issues to be considered in standards for services. From this guidance, detailed standards may be prepared for any service. It offers a checklist (Clause 9) which may be used by consumer representatives and others participating in the process of standards development. Use of the checklist enables full consideration to be given to all matters of consumer interest, including the needs of children, older persons, persons with disabilities and those from different ethnic and cultural heritages.

This Guide is relevant to the full range of services, whether or not a formal contract is entered into or purchase price paid, but also has relevance for public or charitable services in which there is a consumer, user or participant but not necessarily a purchase, for example, education, health and care provision.

A copy of Guide 76 can be obtained for review by contacting Henrietta Scully of ANSI via e-mail, [email protected]. Comments must be sent to Steven Cornish of ANSI ([email protected]) by June 30, 2007.

PROPOSAL

56.6.7 The Installation Instructions shall include the following instructions or their equivalent:

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - To reduce the risk of severe injury or death:

1) READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

2) Install only on a properly operating and balanced door. A door that is operating improperly could cause severe injury. Have qualified service personnel make repairs to cables, spring assemblies, and other hardware before installing the operator.

3) Remove all pull ropes and remove, or make inoperative, all locks (unless mechanically and/or electrically interlocked to the power unit) that are connected to the door before installing the operator.

4) Install the door operator at least 8 feet or more above the floor if the operator has exposed moving parts.

5) Do not connect the door operator to the source of power until instructed to do so.

6) Locate the control station: (a) within sight of the door, (b) at a minimum height of 5 feet so small children cannot reach it, and (c) away from all moving parts of the door.

7) Install the Entrapment Warning Placard next to the control station in a prominent location.

78) For products having a manual release, install the Entrapment Warning Placard next to the control station in a prominent location. Iinstruct the end user on the operation of the manual release.


UL 923, the Standard for Safety for Microwave Cooking Appliances

1. Addition of Normal Temperature Limits for Class S Insulation Systems to Table 36.1.

PROPOSAL

Table 36.1

Maximum acceptable temperature rises

Degrees Materials and components C F

19A. Class 240(S) insulation systems on coils of power transformers and motor transformersg:

Thermocouple method 170 306

Resistance method 180 324 g Some types of coil construction may have a smaller difference of temperature between the thermocouple method and the resistance method than conventional types of coil windings. In such cases the limiting values shown may be ignored if an investigation shows that the hottest-spot (limiting) temperature for the insulating system Class is not exceeded.
