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. To view information about additional standards for which a PINS has been submitted and to searchapproved ANS, please visit www.NSSN.org, which is a database of standards information.

BSR/UL 2200

39.1.1 The test potential specified in 39.1.4 is obtained from any convenient source having a capacity of at least 500 volt-amperes. The capacity is not prohibited from being lower when a meter is located in the output circuit, and the test potential is maintained except in case of breakdown. The voltage of the source is to be continuously adjustable. Starting at zero, the applied potential is to be increased at a rate of 200 volts per second until the required test value is reached. The leakage current shall not exceed 5mA.
