affected by the standard, including manufacturers, testers, regulators and trade or professional organizations.
Project Need: The industry is moving toward new system designs to enhance efficiency and flexibility. To support the
market, the standard must include tolerances for variable flow and update standard rating conditions. Part-load
metrics also must be updated to reflect regional climate considerations. Increased interest in using vapor compression
chillers for heating drives a review of heating conditions and metrics, as well as review of scope for alignment with
related standards. The standard also needs to continue ongoing efforts to harmonize with ASHRAE Standard 30 as the
referenced method of test.
Interest Categories: Component Manufacturer, General Interest, Product Manufacturer, Testing Laboratory
AHRI Standard 1550 will supersede AHRI Standards 550/590-2023 and 551/591-2023. It has been assigned a new
standard number due to the number and magnitude of changes proposed so the distinction between the standards is
clear to the industry. The purpose of this standard is to establish for liquid-chilling and heat pump liquid-heating
packages using the vapor compression cycle: definitions; test requirements; rating requirements; minimum data
requirements for published ratings; marking and nameplate data; conversions and calculations; nomenclature; and
conformance conditions.

BSR/ASHRAE Addendum 62.2f-202x, Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor Air Quality in Residential Buildings
(addenda to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.2-2022)
This proposed addendum provides flexibility to builders and architects regarding the placement of exhaust and
intake terminations for ventilation systems by reducing the minimum separation distance required from a
dwelling unit ventilation system’s outdoor air intake and an exhaust termination serving the same dwelling unit. In
accordance with the new proposed exception to Section 6.6, the 10-foot (3-m) minimum separation distance may
be reduced to 5 feet (1.5m) under certain conditions. This exception was developed based on the application of
research that included wind tunnel modeling of exhausts and intakes on a building façade.

Revision BSR/UL 268A-202x, Standard for Smoke Detectors for Duct Application (revision of ANSI/UL 268A-2020)
These requirements cover air duct smoke detectors intended for indoor use within or protruding into a duct,
or mounted in a housing with sampling tubes extending into or traversing a duct. Air duct smoke detectors are
intended to be installed in ducts where the maximum air temperature inside the duct does not exceed 100°F (38°C),
nor does the minimum temperature become less than 32°F (0°C), in accordance with the Standard for Automatic Fire Detectors,
NFPA72, and the Standard for the Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems, NFPA 90A. An air duct smoke detector unit,
as covered by these requirements, is intended to detect smoke for the primary purpose of controlling blowers and dampers of air conditioning
and ventilating systems to reduce the risk of panic and damage from distribution of smoke and gaseous products. A product whose
features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems conflict with specific requirements or provisions of
this standard does not comply with this standard.

Addenda
BSR/ASHRAE/ICC/IES/USGBC Addendum ak to BSR/ASHRAE/ICC/IES/USGBC Standard 189.1-202x, Standard
for the Design of High-Performance Green Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings (addenda to
ANSI/ASHRAE/ICC/IES/USGBC Standard 189.1-2020)
This addendum (2nd PPR ISC) aligns with the requirements proposed for EPD disclosure in Addendum z. The
requirements include a minimum number of procured products to meet GWP limits set at 125% of the industrywide
EPD average. Projects can comply by providing an EPD or LCA for each building product that show the
product’s GWP is less than 125% of the industry average for cradle-to-gate production. This addendum provides
the environmental benefit of lowering GHG emissions through the selection of building products with lower GWP.

ANSI/ASHRAE/ICC/IES/USGBC Standard 189.1-2020)
This Addendum revises the definition of potable water to match the definition in the International Plumbing Code.
The change will avoid confusion by excluding natural freshwater sources that are not considered “potable” under
most common definitions. These changes are not expected to add cost to the standard.

The proposed ISC for Addendum ac modifies the electric readiness jurisdictional option in new construction
based on comments received and on additional reviews received during the comment period. This ISC modifies
proposed addendum ac to Standard 189.1-2020 with two types of changes. First, several revisions are made in
the ISC to terms and descriptors for particular pieces of electrical equipment, or components of an electrical
distribution system, to improve the clarity of the intended measures. Second, the ISC modifies several physical
specifications of electrical distribution systems that are configured to accommodate energy demands by electrical
equipment installed in the future. In addition, one typographical error was corrected. The term “fossil fuels” was
changed to “fuel-fired” in response to public comments and for clarification.

Revision
BSR/NFPA 4-202x, Standard for Integrated Fire Protection and Life Safety System Testing (revision of ANSI/NFPA 4-2021)
The standard shall provide the minimum requirements for testing of integrated fire protection and life safety
systems where such testing is required by the design documents, commissioning plan, governing laws, codes,
regulations, or standards. A. These requirements include protocol for testing procedures, responsibilities of
various parties, methods and documentation for verifying the operational readiness and sequence of integrated
systems. The standard is designed to ensure that interconnected active and passive fire protection and life safety
systems operate as intended. It is not the intent of this standard to require implementation of emergency
response procedures, evacuation drills, or other exercises that require facility staff or fire department response.
However, when integrated systems tests are being conducted, it can be an appropriate opportunity to practice
emergency procedures or drills. This standard does not prohibit the owner of the property, building, or individual
system or the owner’s designated representative from requiring integrated system testing by design or contract
documents. For some buildings, the integrated system testing requirements of NFPA 4 can be considered
satisfied by performing the acceptance tests and the inspection, testing, and maintenance required by the NFPA
standards for the systems in a building.

BSR/AWS A5.25/A5.25M-202x, Specification for Carbon and Low-Alloy Steel Electrodes and Fluxes for
Electroslag Welding (new standard)
This specification prescribes the requirements for classification of fluxes and solid and composite metal cored
electrodes for electroslag welding. The requirements for electrodes include chemical composition of the electrode
for solid electrodes and of weld metal for metal cored electrodes. Requirements for fluxes include the mechanical
properties and soundness of weld metal taken from a groove weld made with a particular electrode using a
prescribed welding procedure. Standard electrode sizes, marking, and packaging requirements are included. This
specification makes use of both U.S. Customary Units and the International System of Units (SI). Since these are
not equivalent, each system must be used independently of the other.

Stakeholders: Users of the standard could include owners, contractors, subcontractors, and consultants who deal with schedule delay claims.
Project Need: This standard guideline is needed to help minimize the transactional cost of dispute by eliminating the disagreement over method with a set of guidelines or principles that apply in all situations.
Interest Categories: Consumer, Producer, General Interest, Regulatory, and Associate Non-Voting Members.
Scope: The 35 guidelines in this standard allow for segmentation of responsibility for delay to intermediary milestones and to the project completion date. They also enable delay damages or liquidated damages to be calculated by utilizing critical path method schedule techniques and preparing a schedule delay analysis. The guidelines in this standard are based on principles of schedule delay analysis in the following categories: Critical path, Float, Early completion, Chronology of delay, Concurrent delay, Responsibility for delay, Changing schedules after the fact, and Acceleration. The application of such principles should be based on the terms of the contract, contract administration, consistency in application, and legal precedent. These standard guidelines provide commentary, support for, and explanations of this ASCE standard committee’s list of guidelines.

1.2 The appliance wiring material covered by the requirements of this Standard are solely for use as factory-installed wiring either within the overall enclosure of appliances and other equipment (internal wiring) or as external interconnecting cable for appliances (external wiring), or for further processing as components in multiconductor cables.
1.3 These requirements do not cover any wire, cable, or cord types that are presently covered in the National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70, and are not intended for installation in buildings or structures in accordance with the NEC except within the scope of the installation instructions of the end-product for which their use is intended.
1.4 These requirements cover appliance wiring material with operating temperatures from a minimum 60°C (140°F) dry temperature rating and voltage ratings from a minimum 30-volt rating. Conductor size ranges from 50 AWG to 2000 kcmil. Appliance wiring material (AWM) composed entirely of optical fiber members or electrical conductors in combination with optical fiber members are also covered by these requirements.
1.5 These requirements do not cover the optical performance of any optical-fiber member or group of such members.
1.6 These requirements do not cover constructions which utilize flat, insulated conductors that are not laid parallel. The requirements for these products are found in the Standard for Flexible Materials Interconnect Constructions, UL 796F.
1.7 The evaluation of the performance of the semi-conductive polymeric layer described in 5.9 is not covered by this Standard.
1.8 In addition to these constructions, this Standard establishes guidelines for the evaluation of special constructions that, due to their specific end product use, are not required to meet all of the requirements for general construction AWM. 1.9 The final acceptance of AWM is dependent upon its use in complete equipment that conforms with the standards applicable to such equipment.

New Standard
BSR/UL 9990-202x, Standard for Safety for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Power Cables (new standard)
Stakeholders: Cable assembly manufacturers and distributors, commercial and Industrial users, consumers.
Project Need: This first proposed edition of UL 9990 Standard for Safety for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Power Cables expands on of the Outline of Investigation for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Power Cables, UL 9990, dated September 27, 2021, which includes requirements for cable assemblies used in circuits that are in the Extended Power Range. Additionally, the goal is to convert the Outline into an ANSl Standard, since Outlines of Investigation cannot be referenced in other ANSI Standards. Interest Categories: Producers, Supply Chain, Commercial/Industrial Users, Authorities Having Jurisdiction, Government Agencies, Consumers.
Scope: This Outline of Investigation covers the power handling capabilities of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) cable assemblies when used for powering or charging Audio/Video, Information, and Communication Technology Equipment applications. This does not include Power Over Ethernet cables that are permanently installed to power equipment installed on the network. The signal transmission performance of the cable assemblies is not within the scope of these requirements.
1.2 These requirements apply to ICT cable assemblies categorized below, Type designations used in this Outline only serve as a guide to determine appropriate requirements, and do not represent an assigned rating. (a)Type I: These cable assemblies are intended to be used only in the output of a power source class 2 (PS2) and electrical energy source class 1 (ES1), or a limited power source, as determined in accordance with the Standard for Safety for Audio/Video, Information, and Communication Technology Equipment – Part 1: Safety Requirements, UL 62368-1. These circuits do not exceed 60 V DC, 8.0 amperes and 100 watts. Note: These circuits are sometimes referred to as "low voltage, limited-power circuits", "low voltage, limited-energy circuits” or "NEC® Class 2 circuits". (b) Type II: These cable assemblies are intended to be used in the output of a power source that exceeds the limits for Type I and provide powering or charging for connected equipment that do not exceed 60 V DC, 8.0 amperes and power limits over 100 watts and up to and including 250 watts. These cable assemblies contain an electronic circuit to implement power delivery synchronization (handshaking) with the power source before permitting over 100 W of power. NOTE: These circuits are sometimes referred to as ES1 (< 60Vdc >) and PS3 (>100VA) 1.3 ICT cable assemblies may also be required to comply with industry specifications applicable to their particular configuration and use. Compliance with these specifications is not within the scope of these requirements.

ANSI/ASHRAE/ICC/IES/USGBC Standard 189.1-2020)
This addendum improves the charging language of the Irrigation Section 6.3.1.1. It specifies terms for irrigated landscape during the initial establishment period. Exceptions for this were also edited. This addendum also removes Section 6.3.1.2 because it did not provide the intended requirements. The lettered sections ‘a-d’ of former 6.3.1.2 are then assumed under the revised section 6.3.1.1 and still apply. All other subsequent sections are then renumbered after Section 6.3.1.1.

Scope: NFPA 301 shall be known as the Merchant Vessel Code and is referred to herein as “this code” or “the code.”
1.1.2 The code addresses construction, arrangement, protection, and space utilization factors that are necessary to minimize danger to life from fire, smoke, fumes, or panic. It also provides for reasonable protection against property damage and avoidance of environmental damage consistent with the normal operation of vessels.
Fundamental requirements applicable to all vessels are found in Chapters 1 through 9. These fundamental requirements are modified in Chapters 10 through 18 as applicable for any type of space. The requirements in Chapters 1 through 18 are modified in Chapters 19 through 21 as applicable for any given vessel type. For example, a passenger vessel would follow the requirements of Chapters 1 through 18 and Chapter 21.
1.1.3 The code identifies the minimum criteria for the design of egress facilities so as to permit prompt escape of passengers and crew to safe areas aboard vessels and, where necessary, to survival craft embarkation stations.

Addenda
BSR/ASHRAE Addendum v to BSR/ASHRAE Standard 15-202x, Safety Standard for Refrigeration Systems
(Addenda to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15-2019)
A continuous maintenance proposal was submitted to clean up the definitions of brazed and soldered joints.
This is in part due to an existing gap in the current definitions that exists between 800°F (426.5°C) and
1000°F (537.7°C). This proposed change harmonizes with definitions found in both ISO 4063:2009 and
ANSI/AWS A3.0MM/A3.0:2020.

BSR/ASHRAE Addendum w to BSR/ASHRAE Standard 15-202x, Safety Standard for Refrigeration Systems
(addenda to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15-2019)
Addendum j to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15-2019 revised the definitions of “flammable” and “nonflammable”
with the flammability classification class numbers from ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 34, Designation and Safety
Classification of Refrigerants. That change will create an inconsistency within the next edition of the standard,
where previously all other content within the standard made use of the safety group (a combination of both
toxicity and flammability classifications) but did not make direct use of the toxicity classification alone nor the
flammability classification alone. Section 6 explains how refrigerant safety classifications are used within
Standard 15, but currently only describes the use of safety groups and not the individual classifications. The proposed changes resolve this inconsistency.

BSR/VITA 48.8-202x, Mechanical Standard for VPX REDI Air Flow through Cooling, 1.0 to 1.5 Pitches (revision of ANSI/VITA 48.8-2017)
Stakeholders: Manufacturers, system integrators, end users of critical embedded systems
Project Need: Develop standard implementation for air-flow-through for critical embedded modules
Interest Categories: Users, producers, general Interest
Scope: This document describes an open standard for the design requirements for an air-flow-through cooled
plug-in module having 3U and 6U form factors while retaining the VITA 46.0 connector layout. Unlike using cooling
air impinged directly upon the components and circuit boards, this plug-in module uses a finned heat exchanger
frame located within the central section of the assembly to top cool primary circuit board components as well as
mezzanine board components. Both 3U and 6U standard form factors are offered using 3 defined pitch spacings,
with options to have alternate air flow intake and exhaust paths. The plug-in modules of this standard exhibit a
weight reduction and cost savings by eliminating both wedge retainer usage and module lever usage by way of
using light weight jack screws for plug-in module insertion and extraction into a subrack chassis. The intention of
this standard is to optimize SWAP-C (Size, Weight, Power, Cost). This revision updates the backplane tab
dimensions, thickness, jackscrew and guide pins.

BSR/ASHRAE Addendum 62.1i-202x, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality (addenda to ANSI/ASHRAE
Standard 62.1-2019)
ASHRAE/ASHE Standard 170 in its 2021 version has added Table 8-2 which covers low-infection-risk
outpatient facilities. Table 8-2 lists Ra and Rp values for spaces in outpatient facilities that are also shown in
ASHRAE 62.1-2019. This proposed addendum aims at coordination of the two standards by deleting the
outpatient spaces from Table 6-1. However, building codes (e.g., IMC) still do not reference ASHRAE/ASHE
Standard 170 for Business Occupancy (B) Outpatient facilities. For this reason, the spaces deleted from Table
6-1 are now added to a normative appendix to provide AHJs with Ra and Rp values for outpatient facilities not
covered by Standard 170. In addition, some ventilation rates and air classifications have been aligned with
ASHRAE/ASHE Standard 170.

Addendum ac proposes updates to interior lighting power and control requirements. A major change under
review has been the removal of parking garage daylight transition lighting from the exempted requirements.
Since the first public review, additional changes have been suggested by commenters to refine the definition
of parking-garage daylight transition zone. Additionally, commenters have helped develop more precise
language for the video broadcasting category seen in this ISC.

This addendum introduces a new option for lighting compliance. Currently users can choose from three
prescriptive options or a modeling-based method; this alternate path would allow a performance approach
that is not dependent on meeting each of the prescriptive requirements in Section 9. This 2nd public review
ISC addresses public review comments regarding conflict of mandatory lighting control and exterior lighting
requirements. It also updates the header in Table 3.5-1 to correct column label acronyms.

Engineers (ASABE) for the ANSI/ASABE S640 standard. This ISC modifies the first public review draft to
enable the use of luminaires with removable and/or serviceable lamps; it also improves upon the definitions
of “greenhouse” and “indoor grow,” lowers the stringency for smaller indoor grow facilities, and removes
daylight control requirements.

This addendum updates the Building Performance Factors (BPFs) that are used for determining compliance
with Appendix G (see Section 4.2.1.1.) The current BPFs represent the savings of a design minimally
compliant with the current edition of Standard 90.1 compared to a design compliant with Standard 90.1
-2004. The updated BPFs were determined using prototype energy models developed by PNNL to be
consistent with Appendix G baseline rules; an additional factor was then applied across the resulting BPFs in
anticipation of further energy improvements before the final 2022 publication.

BSR/ASHRAE/IES Addendum ce to BSR/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-202x, Energy Standard for Buildings
Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings (addenda to ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2019)
Addendum ce adds a reference standard (ANSI/AISI/COFS S250) to support changes to the envelope
provisions related to steel-framed walls. This addition enables the use of steel-framed walls with framing
spacing between 6 to 24 inches and a wider range of member sizes, which eliminates the need to take an
alternate approach for obtaining approvals. ANSI/AISI/COFS S250 also provides a means for evaluating wall
assemblies wherein all insulation is located outside the wall cavity.

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 in new or revised American National Standards (ANS). Early notification of activity intended to reaffirm or withdraw an ANS and in some instances a PINS related 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 maintained under the continuous maintenance option. Use the following Public Document Library url to access PDF & EXCEL reports of approved & proposed ANS: List of Approved and Proposed ANS

New Standard
BSR C137.10-202X, Standard for Lighting Systems - Sensor Data Models (new standard)
Stakeholders: Producers, users, general interest.
Project Need: This project is needed to enable lighting systems, locally and centrally, to receive sensor information from a variety of independent sensors and take actions which may include, but are not limited to, optimization of light levels and backhaul of sensor data to the CMS for adjacent applications. This project will standardize the data which sensors make available to NLCs to encourage interface with multiple sensor types. Devices that include both an NLC and sensing functionality are not included in the scope of this standard because intra-device communication will not benefit, and the device would be burdened by these additional requirements. This is an important distinction to avoid market and regulatory confusions.
Scope: This standard defines the data model for sensors (focused on but not limited to outdoor) to present to
Network Lighting Controllers (NLC). This standard will leverage existing sensor data models published by other standards organizations, such as Open Mobile Alliance, Digital Illumination Interface Alliance (DiiA) and TALQ. This standard does not apply to the internal communications of NLC-integrated devices or by what protocol the data is transported from the sensor to NLC or from NLC to CMS.

New Standard
BSR Z535.7-202x, Product Safety Information in Electronic Media (new standard)
Stakeholders: Users, producers, and general interested parties of electronic media signage.
Project Need: To fix a gap in the standards.
Scope: This standard sets forth requirements for the use of ANSI Z535 formatting elements in the design of visual product safety messages presented in electronic media to the extent that these formatting elements are used in these media.

BSR/NEMA ES 80008-202x, Battery Recyclability Standard (new standard)
Stakeholders: Manufacturers, utilities, end users, environmental groups.
Project Need: While many developers and users are gaining experience deploying and operating grid-connected energy storage systems (ESS), there is no standardized approach to manage end-of-life protocols. While stakeholders in the electric vehicle (EV) market are further down the path towards a solution, the sheer magnitude of EV batteries meeting their end-of-life in the next 20 years (and beyond) calls for a standardized end-of-life solution
Scope: Standard methodology to define the amount of recyclable material at the end of battery life (Recyclability Standard). Applicable to EV, residential, commercial and industrial, and utility scale batteries, the standard will establish the “recyclability” of any lithium battery in scope, resulting in threshold amounts of extractable metals from
each cell and modules and plastics used throughout the module.

Project Need: Facilitation of renewable energy projects. Scope: Grid planners are more frequently connecting load centers, such as small towns/cities, with MV DC connections to facilitate greater power flow control and facilitate renewable penetration. The links are generally in the 24-36kV range. This architecture requires transformers to be installed on the AC sides of the links, so use of an inverter and converter is necessary, which risks energy losses through the inversion/conversion. This Standard is intended to provide guidance for those medium voltage transformers with converter/inverter configuration and/or rectifier transformers to minimize line losses.

Scope: Grid planners are more frequently connecting load centers such as small towns/cities with Medium Voltage DC connections to facilitate greater power flow control and facilitate renewable penetration. The links are generally in the 24-36 kV range. As research continues on solid-state transformers, the industry moves closer to eventual widespread use of these devices to safely integrate renewable generation into the grid at proper voltages and frequencies. With power electronics included within the transformer, external power conversion would not be needed. These requirements would cover medium voltage DC transformers (eliminating the need for power conversion).

Project Need: Transformer needs due to increasing DC applications. Scope: Grid planners are more frequently connecting load centers such as small towns/cities with MV DC connections to facilitate greater power flow control and facilitate renewable penetration. The links are generally in the 24-36 k V range. This architecture requires transformers to be installed on the AC sides of the links, so use of an inverter and converter is necessary, which risks energy losses through the inversion/conversion. This standard is for medium voltage solid-state transformers to minimize line losses through power conversion and/or actively regulate voltage and current from renewable generation.

Project Need: Increased customer loads due to electric vehicle and electric heating. Scope: Projections for increased customer loads (largely due to forecasted growth in electric vehicles and electric heating) will likely require higher voltage/current ratings on transformers. Utilities can approach this challenge in several different ways, one of which is to purchase and install new transformers designed with higher thermal insulations and/or new insulation liquids to achieve higher voltage/current ratings at the same size and weight as their predecessors. These transformers using advanced insulation technologies could operate at higher temperatures(i.e., to accommodate the higher ratings). A dual kVA nameplate based on two different temperature rise parameters would be beneficial in this application

It has the potential to be expanded in the future to include service water heating systems in Section 7 and allow heat recovery efficiency to be credited. The intent is to provide an alternative to a completely prescriptive-based approach to 90.1compliance that does not require whole-building energy modeling. To ensure that equivalent energy savings are maintained compared to the current requirements, a new metric is also being introduced for evaluating HVAC system sunder the new performance path: the Total System Performance Ratio (TSPR). This new Mechanical System Performance path and metric is explained through additions to Section 6 as well as a new Appendix J.

NOTE: For the purposes of this Standard, ancillary spaces include areas that support the general operations required to run a cannabis facility. Examples include but are not limited to: Corridors, HVAC/Mechanical Rooms, and Electrical Rooms. This Standard recognizes the issues surrounding lead paint and asbestos in the built environment. Due to differing legal restrictions and licensure requirements, these materials are beyond the scope of this standard. It is the responsibility of the building owner and/or operator to assure compliance with all regulations applicable within the jurisdiction. This Standard does not address: fumigation and insecticidal fogging, ozone-generating air-cleaning devices, ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI)exposure from air-cleaning devices, nor exposure limits for hydrofluoroalkane (HFA-134a). This Standard does not address cannabis-related biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs). These BVOCs include thiols as part of their natural biological cycles. The prominent VOCs emitted by cannabis are known as terpenes with main constituents as isoprene, monoterpenes, and sesquiterpenes. These terpenes are odorants with extremely low odor thresholds.

Project Need: This standard needs to be updated to address a conflict that exists with a revision that was incorporated in the 2020 edition of NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code. Consideration will be given to include calculation guidance for the voltage drop on the 0-10 volt dimming interface as a function of wiring distance. Scope: This Standard specifies the 0-10 volt control interface method and performance requirements for dimmable LED drivers, fluorescent ballasts, and dimming control units where output power is adjustable between minimum/off and maximum via a control input signal. The interface may be from one or more control units to one or more drivers or ballasts. Applications include, but are not limited to, commercial, residential, industrial, roadway and area, and hospitality. Applicable devices include, but are not limited to, dimmable drivers and ballasts that may be internal or external to luminaires, dimming controls, and daylighting controls.

Project Need: To establish requirements for the safe interoperability of devices that generate, store, and consume electricity to provide illumination independent of the normal utility grid. There are fire risks associated with the heat that may be generated by these systems, if not properly designed or produced with sufficient quality control. There can also be electric shock injury risks if designs exceed the voltage limits proposed by these requirements, and such exceedances do not appear necessary for these systems to achieve their desired functionality. Establishing a standard to reduce and eliminate these risks will promote public trust and confidence, thus aiding acceptance and deployment. Scope: The requirements in this proposed new standard apply to lighting systems that include one or more PV (photovoltaic) modules, storage batteries, one or more luminaires, and controls to manage the energy flow between these devices. They are not interactive with the utility grid and do not supply power to remote equipment. They can be fixed-in-place or portable, but are not handheld devices (i.e., flashlights or lanterns). They are intended to be installed in accordance with the U.S. National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70 and in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I (CEC), CSA C22.1

However, the dampness and mold problem sometimes also occurs in buildings cooled by direct evaporation into the supply air. At present, Std 62.1 does not address these risks. In light of that concern, the 62.1 committee is considering the most appropriate way for designers to limit humidity in buildings and spaces served by direct evaporative cooling equipment.

NEMA (ASC C137) (National Electrical Manufacturers Association)1300 N 17th Street, Suite 900, Rosslyn, VA 22209 www.nema.orgContact: Michael Erbesfeld; Michael.Erbesfeld@nema.orgRevision BSR/C137.1-202X, Zero to Ten Volt (0-10V) Dimming Interface for LED Drivers, Fluorescent Ballasts, and Controls(revision of ANSI/C137.1-2019)Stakeholders: Producers, users, general interest. Project Need: This standard needs to be updated to address a conflict that exists with a revision that was incorporated in the 2020 edition of NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code. Consideration will be given to include calculation guidance for the voltage drop on the 0-10 volt dimming interface as a function of wiring distance. Scope: This Standard specifies the 0-10 volt control interface method and performance requirements for dimmable LED drivers, fluorescent ballasts, and dimming control units where output power is adjustable between minimum/of fand maximum via a control input signal. The interface may be from one or more control units to one or more drivers or ballasts. Applications include, but are not limited to, commercial, residential, industrial, roadway and area, and hospitality. Applicable devices include, but are not limited to, dimmable drivers and ballasts that may be internal or external to luminaires, dimming controls, and daylighting controls. This Standard does not specify control by pulse-width modulation (PWM). Project Initiation Notification System (PINS)ANSI Standards Action - May 14, 2021 - Page 10 of 76 pages
UL (Underwriters Laboratories)333 Pfingsten Road, Northbrook, IL 60062 https://ul.org/Contact: Elizabeth Northcott; Elizabeth.Northcott@ul.org New Standard BSR/UL 8801-202x, Standard for Safety for PV (Photovoltaic) Luminaire Systems (new standard) Stakeholders: Lighting Equipment and System manufacturers, PV Luminaire Systems manufacturers, users and consumers of lighting and PV luminaires and systems. Project Need: To establish requirements for the safe interoperability of devices that generate, store, and consume electricity to provide illumination independent of the normal utility grid. There are fire risks associated with the heat that may be generated by these systems, if not properly designed or produced with sufficient quality control. There can also be electric shock injury risks if designs exceed the voltage limits proposed by these requirements, and such exceedances do not appear necessary for these systems to achieve their desired functionality. Establishing a standard to reduce and eliminate these risks will promote public trust and confidence, thus aiding acceptance and deployment. Scope: The requirements in this proposed new standard apply to lighting systems that include one or more PV (photovoltaic) modules, storage batteries, one or more luminaires, and controls to manage the energy flow between these devices. They are not interactive with the utility grid and do not supply power to remote equipment. They can be fixed-in-place or portable, but are not handheld devices (i.e., flashlights or lanterns). They are intended to be installed in accordance with the U.S. National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70 and in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I (CEC), CSA C22.1

However, the dampness and mold problem sometimes also occurs in buildings cooled by direct evaporation into the supply air. At present, Std 62.1 does not address these risks. In light of that concern, the 62.1 committee is considering the most appropriate way for designers to limit humidity in buildings and spaces served by direct evaporative cooling equipment. Limiting the indoor RH rather than the dew point would be a more energy-appropriate strategy. Proposed Addendum e adds a new Section 5.11 for direct evaporatively cooled buildings.

Revision BSR C63.2-202x, Standard for Specifications of Electromagnetic Interference and Field Strength Measuring Instrumentation in the Frequency Range 9 kHz to 40 GHz (revision of ANSI C63.2-2016)
Stakeholders: All users of the ANSI C63.4, C63.10, and C63.26 standards, including test labs, radio manufacturers, electronics manufacturers, test equipment manufacturers, regulators and accreditation bodies.
Project Need: CISPR 16-1-1:2010 is a key reference document for ANSI C63.2. CISPR 16-1-1:2010 has been updated twice since 2010 Ed. 3.2: 2014 reference (Ed. 4: 2015 and Ed.5: 2019). This proposal recommends updating the CISPR16-1-1 reference in ANSI C63.2 to CISPR 16-1-1:2019 (Ed. 5). Also, CISPR 16-1-1:2019 reorganized several sections and added material from ANSI C63.2-2016. This reorganization and the added parameter would need to be accounted for in C63.2-2016 Tables 1 and 2. Members of the EMI test community that reference C63.2 when purchasing equipment will question the reference to an obsolete CISPR document and there is increasing risk of divergence of receiver requirements between CISPR and ANSI.
Scope: C63.2 specifies measurement equipment requirements for ANSI emissions measurement documents

Artificial intelligence (AI) is currently a much talked-about technology and holds much promise. AI is already used in many products and services, e.g., in healthcare, online fraud protection, predictive analytics, recommendation engines, and many other areas. In fact, almost every segment is expected to be impacted by AI. While AI brings many benefits, it also raises concerns, for instance regarding data privacy, unintended bias and ethical and societal concerns of people who use or come into contact with such technologies, or whose personal data may be used by these systems. Created under the auspices of ISO/IEC JTC 1, the information technology arm of ISO and the IEC, subcommittee SC 42, Artificial intelligence, is the only standards body looking at AI holistically.

ISO 26000 - Guidance on Social Responsibility Activity
Comment Deadline: January 29, 2021
ISO standard ISO 26000, Guidance on social responsibility, has been circulated to ISO members for its systematic review to determine whether the standard should be revised, reconfirmed, or withdrawn.
ISO 26000, last confirmed in November 2010, is intended to help organizations effectively assess and address social responsibilities that are relevant and significant to their mission and vision; operations and processes; customers, employees, communities, and other stakeholders; and environmental impact. ISO 26000 provides detailed guidance for organizations that are willing to implement the OECD Guidelines but is not meant for ISO certification.
ANSI, is seeking U.S. Stakeholders’ input on ISO 26000 to help ANSI determine if ANSI should vote revise, reconfirm as is, or withdraw the standard. Anyone wishing to review ISO 26000 can request a copy by contacting ANSI’s ISO Team (isot@ansi.org), with a submission of comments to Steve Cornish (scornish@ansi.org) by close of business on Friday, January 29, 2021.

Addenda
BSR/ASHRAE/ASHE Addendum 170r-202x, Ventilation of Health Care Facilities (addenda to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 170-2013)
In reviewing Addendum a, it was noticed that the filter requirements listed for nursing homes are not consistent with the informative appendix table for recommended filter efficiencies by space type. Resident rooms are noted as requiring MERV-14 in the informative appendix as “Resident rooms in a skilled nursing area”, however other resident spaces were assigned MERV-8 under the category of “Any room, inpatient or outpatient, where a patient stays less than 6 hours including waiting rooms”. This is incorrect in that (1) residents are not patients and (2) residents frequently spend amounts of time exceeding 6 hours outside of their room in these areas of the facility. This proposed addendum increases filtration in nursing homes to MERV-14. Section 6.4(i) is revised to not include Table 9.1 because in Table 9.1 the only spaces that do not permit room recirculation are 100% exhaust spaces.

Addenda
BSR/ASHRAE Addendum 62.1c-202x, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality (addenda to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2019)
The definition for unusual source is unclear in distinguishing whether rarely refers to a source that is intermittent or transient within a space or if it is meant in the sense of commonality as in an object that would not be commonly found within in a space regardless of the duration of its presence. This proposed addendum seeks to bring clarity to what the committee considers as an unusual source. The new definition makes clear that the unusual nature of a source has to do with its relationship to common items and activities within the space. Click here to view these changes in full
