BSR/ASHRAE Addendum 62.2L-202x, Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor Air Quality in Residential Buildings (addenda to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.2-2022)
Proposed Addendum L would remove the option for intermittent (demand-controlled) room-level kitchen ventilation in Section 5.1. The option for continuous room-level kitchen ventilation would be retained in Section 5.2. The options for demand-controlled kitchen ventilation through a range hood or downdraft exhaust fan would also be retained. Because the standard allows for a low airflow rate for room-level kitchen ventilation in small kitchens, the proposal would require that this room-level ventilation be provided continuously to promote greater removal of kitchen pollution.

New Standard BSR/AAMI EQ110-202x, HTM educational programs (new standard) Stakeholders: Academia, hospital or healthcare professionals, home care setting training material for clinical setting, HTM professionals Project Need: There is currently a shortage of HTM academic programs that are well-aligned with the needs of today’s healthcare environment, and the competencies HTM professionals need to be effective members of the healthcare team. Additionally, confusion among HTM educational programs exists regarding what ought to be included in their program. Their desire is to follow a consistent set of industry expectations. With limited resources available to them, educational programs need guidance on what items they should prioritize. To fulfill this need, the issue needs to be addressed with the weight of a standard, rather than just a guidance document. Minimum requirements/minimum expectations must be established so that educational programs can adhere to them. Interest Categories: Industry, User, Regulatory, General Interest, Other This document provides a recommended framework for new or established educational opportunities for future HTM professionals. It addresses: Normative Definitions; Learner Evaluation; Learning Topics; Instructor Qualifications; Facilities; Instructional Best Practices; Workplace Training; Learning Venue Support; Stakeholder Relations.

System designers, maintainers, and users of energy storage systems and battery management systems. Project Need: Currently, there is no standard in North America specifically covering fuses for protection of battery or energy storage systems, and there is confusion in the industry on what type of fuses are suitable. Existing applications have previously applied PV fuses or semiconductor fuses, although these fuses have not specifically been evaluated for use in an energy storage system. This new Part of UL 248 series of fuses is intended to cover this gap. Interest Categories: General, Producer, Supply Chain, Commercial Industrial User, Testing & Standards This standard will cover requirements for fuses specific to protection of battery and battery systems operating at or below 2000 Vdc

New Standard
BSR/UL 2278-202x, Standard for Safety for Megawatt Charging Configured Electric Vehicle Couplers (new standard)
Stakeholders: This standard will apply to a large cross section of groups and individuals. These specific individuals would include: producers, supply chain, trade associations, commercial/industrial users, regulators, and government.
Project Need: ULSE is seeking ANSI approval on a new joint standard for the US and Canada, UL 2278. There are currently no consensus standards published in the US and Canada for Megawatt Charging Configured Electric Vehicle Couplers. This proposed joint standard for the US and Canada, UL 2278, is needed to cover the new configuration of coupler which operates at a higher voltage and current than any previously certified coupler and presents new and increased potential hazards that must be addressed by requirements that are significantly modified compared to what exists today.
Interest Categories: AHJ, Producer, Testing & Standards Organization, General, Supply Chain, and Government
This first issue of the Standard for Safety for Megawatt Charging Configured Electric Vehicle Couplers, UL 2278, is intended to be a joint standard for the US and Canada. These requirements cover vehicle connectors and vehicle inlets designated as, and configured as, megawatt charging couplers. These devices are rated up to 1500 Vdc, 3000A under conditions of continuous use. Vehicle connectors may be actively cooled, such as with liquid cooling, when operating. These devices are intended for use with conductive DC charging equipment for electric vehicles and intended to facilitate conductive connection from the charging equipment to the vehicle. These devices are for use in either indoor or outdoor, non-classified locations in accordance with National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70. This standard does not cover devices used for conductive connection to an electric vehicle and consisting of configurations other than megawatt charging systems configurations. Those devices are covered by the Standard for Plugs,
Receptacles and Couplers for Electric Vehicles, UL 2251.

Addenda
BSR/ASHRAE Addendum t to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15-202x, Safety Standard for Refrigeration Systems
(addenda to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15-2022)
The original impetus for this proposed addendum was to address changes for applications of cooling equipment specific to information technology equipment (ITE) and data center installations. The mitigation principles (refrigerant charge size restrictions, refrigerant detection, air circulation, and product listing) are the same as other applications using flammable refrigerants. One significant difference in ITE applications, due to the sensitive nature of electronic equipment to cleanliness, is that emergency ventilation using outside air is typically not an acceptable mitigation strategy. The proposed addendum allows use of air from other spaces within the building.

New Standard
BSR/UL 3141-202x, Standard for Safety for Power Control Systems (new standard)
Stakeholders: Energy industry, including utilities, AHJs, manufacturers, installers, users and authorized personnel for distributed energy resource systems, and certification bodies
Project Need: There is a need for a standard to address Distributed Energy Resource (DER) systems which are becoming increasingly complex and now include numerous mandatory grid support functions that control active or reactive power/currents. In addition, new utility interconnection requirements are being established in California and Hawaii that limit the allowable steady-state power/currents that can be imported or exported from the Point of Common Coupling (PCC). The electrification of the transportation sector will place significant new demands on the utility grid increasing the importance of DER and load management in the safe, reliable, and cost-effective operation of the grid. An additional key issue addressed by this standard is the need for an increased level of functional reliability of DER and load management to prevent overloading of busbars and conductors on the premises wiring as well as utility owned assets serving the facility.
Interest Categories: AHJ, Commercial/Industrial Users, General Interest, Producers, Supply Chain, Government, and Testing & Standards
This first issue of the Standard for Power Control Systems, UL 3141, is intended to be a joint standard for the US and Canada These requirements cover Power Control Systems (PCS) used in Distributed Energy Resource (DER) systems which include one or more power sources in addition to the primary power source, typically the utility grid. The requirements in this standard are intended to evaluate PCS that electronically control power or current flow within power distribution equipment, or within conductors at an external location, via use of external measurement and control device(s). The products covered by these requirements are intended to be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, and with the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I Safety Standard for Electrical engineering Installations, CSA C22.1

Stakeholders: Utilities, manufacturers, users, contractors
Project Need: Update the existing standard for current industry practices
Interest Categories: producer, government, general interest, laboratory, user
When conformance tests are required, this standard specifies tests to demonstrate that the circuit breaker being
tested conforms with the requirements and ratings defined in accordance with ANSI/IEEE C37.04. The preferred
ratings listed are designated values but are not to be considered restrictive; however, the requirements given are
restrictive. Conformance testing may be performed in conjunction with the basic design testing, if agreeable to those
concerned; however, conformance testing is more likely to be performed to satisfy a special need, sometime after
original development. As a requirement of conformance testing, the circuit breaker shall have completed the design
testing requirements of ANSI/IEEE C37.09. If ANSI/IEEE C37.09 tests have not been previously performed, the tests
required by ANSI/IEEE C37.09 beyond tests described by this standard may be performed concurrently with
conformance testing..

Project Need: Auto-stereoscopic displays, which present three-dimensional images without requiring the viewer to
wear special glasses or headgear, have attracted significant attention in fields such as television, movies, gaming, and
virtual reality due to their ability to provide users with an immersive visual experience. Poor quality can result in
viewer-eye fatigue, discomfort, and even nausea. Therefore, alongside the development of auto-stereoscopic display
technologies, it is crucial to develop quality assessment metrics that align with human subjective perception.
Interest Categories: A subset of the interest categories on this list is expected to comprise the consensus body:
https://ieee.box.com/v/Interest-Categories
This standard defines and quantifies the factors that affect the visual quality of the auto-stereoscopic displays,
including crosstalk, resolution, screen size, and viewing angle. This standard includes procedures for testing the visual
quality of the auto-stereoscopic displays under various conditions. This standard also defines deep learning-based
methods for objectively assessing the visual quality of the auto-stereoscopic displays.

BSR/IEEE 21451.7-202x, Standard for Smart Transducer Interface for Sensors and Actuators-Transducers to Radio
Frequency Identification (RFID) Systems Communication Protocols and Transducer Electronic Data Sheet (TEDS)
Formats (revision of ANSI/IEEE 21451.7-2011)
Stakeholders: The stakeholders include sensor/network manufacturers, RFID tag/system manufacturers, system
integrators, sensor/RFID system users, retailers, shipping container manufacturers, shippers/carriers,
instrumentation, measurement, and control system manufacturers and users.
Project Need: RFID technologies are rapidly emerging as the means of tracking products and assets. Standards are
being developed to address these needs. Sensors can provide information about the condition of the products. And
there is a great need to provide sensor data as part of the supply chain reporting. However, openly defined standard
interfaces between sensors and RFID tags still need to be improved. Since the IEEE 1451 suite of smart transducer
interfaces for sensors and actuators are recognized sensor interface standards in the industry, this project can fill that
gap by providing such sensor-to-RFID tag interfaces to meet industry needs.
Interest Categories: A subset of the interest categories on this list is expected to comprise the consensus body:
https://ieee.box.com/v/Interest-Categories
This standard defines data formats to facilitate communications between radio frequency identification (RFID)
systems and smart RFID tags with integral smart transducers (sensors and actuators) of an Instrumentation and
Control system for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT). The standard defines the data messaging formats based on
the IEEE 1451 family of standards. This standard also defines a specific method of communication and Information
Analysis for IIoT.

V AC (new standard)
Stakeholders: Users and Manufacturers of High-Voltage Circuit Breakers, High-Voltage Circuit Switchers, and
specifiers of both types of equipment
Project Need: The existing Standard is due to expire in 2028. The scope and purpose were changed to include circuit
switchers in the scope of this document. Due to the similarities between High-Voltage Circuit Breakers and High-
Voltage Circuit Switchers, the content of the standard is being adjusted to include circuit switchers.
Interest Categories: A subset of the interest categories on this list is expected to comprise the consensus body:
https://ieee.box.com/v/Interest-Categories
This recommended practice identifies, organizes, and summarizes information about high-voltage circuit breakers
and circuit switchers provided by the manufacturer that is helpful to knowledgeable users for the receipt, installation,
commissioning, operation and maintenance, and decommissioning of ac high-voltage circuit breakers and circuit
switchers above 1000 VAC. This recommended practice recommends categories and an arrangement for the
presentation of information in circuit breaker and circuit switcher instruction manuals.

BSR C37.54-2024A, Standard for Alternating Current High-Voltage Circuit Breakers Applied in Metal-Enclosed
Switchgear - Conformance Test Procedures (revision of ANSI C37.54-2023)
When conformance tests are required, this standard specifies tests to demonstrate that the circuit breaker being
tested conforms with the requirements and ratings defined in accordance with ANSI/IEEE C37.04. The preferred
ratings listed are designated values but are not to be considered restrictive; however, the requirements given are
restrictive. Conformance testing may be performed in conjunction with the basic design testing, if agreeable to
those concerned; however, conformance testing is more likely to be performed to satisfy a special need,
sometime after original development. As a requirement of conformance testing, the circuit breaker shall have
completed the design testing requirements of ANSI/IEEE C37.09. If ANSI/IEEE C37.09 tests have not been
previously performed, the tests required by ANSI/IEEE C37.09 beyond tests described by this standard may be
performed concurrently with conformance testing..

Revision
BSR/NFPA 76-202x, Standard for the Fire Protection of Telecommunications Facilities (revision of ANSI/NFPA 76-2020)
This standard provides requirements for fire protection of telecommunications facilities where telecommunications services such as telephone (landline, wireless)
transmission, data transmission, internet transmission, voice-over internet protocol (VoIP) transmission, and video transmission are rendered to the public.
It is not intended that this standard apply to private telecommunications facilities. Private telecommunications facilities include rooms specifically used for a business to deliver telecommunications to its employees,
containing telecommunication for employees of a company. However, private telecommunications facilities do notinclude facilities that are owned by non-utility businesses that provide telecommunications services to the public,
including, but not limited to, large medical facilities, universities, large corporate telecommunications networks, military bases, and private prisons. Telecommunications facilities are referred to as telephone exchanges in NFPA
101 and NFPA 5000. The 2012 edition of NFPA 101 classifies telephone exchanges as special-purpose industrial occupancies, and the 2012 edition of NFPA 5000 classifies telephone exchanges as industrial occupancies.
Telecommunications facilities include signal processing equipment areas, cable entrance facility areas, power areas, main distribution frame areas, standby engine areas, technical support areas, administrative areas,
and building services and support areas occupied by a telecommunications service provider. This standard shall…

Revision
BSR/NFPA 87-202x, Standard for Fluid Heaters (revision of ANSI/NFPA 87-2021)
Explosions and fires in fuel-fired and electric fluid heaters constitute a loss potential in life, property, and
production. This recommended practice is a compilation of guidelines, rules, and methods applicable to the safe
operation of this type of equipment. Conditions and regulations that are not covered in this standard — such as
toxic vapors, hazardous materials, noise levels, heat stress, and local, state, and federal regulations (EPA and
OSHA) — should be considered in the design and operation of fluid heaters. Most causes of failures can be traced
to human error. The most significant failures include inadequate training of operators, lack of proper
maintenance, and improper application of equipment. Users and designers must utilize engineering skill to bring
together that proper combination of controls and training necessary for the safe operation of equipment. This
recommended practice classifies fluid heaters as Class F fluid heaters. Class F fluid heaters operate at
approximately atmospheric pressure and present a potential explosion or fire hazard that could be occasioned by
the overheating and/or release of flammable or combustible fluids from the tubing that carries them through the
heating chamber. Class F fluid heaters operate with a relatively constant flow of…

Addenda
BSR/SERI R2v3 (3.1)-202x, The Sustainable Electronics Reuse & Recycling Standard (addenda to ANSI/SERI R2-V3-2020)
With the rapidly increasing adoption of solar power globally, the quantity of photovoltaic (PV) modules is
increasing at a significant rate. Once this PV equipment reaches the end of its first use, sustainable solutions for
it’s safe and environmentally sound reuse and recycling are required. The review and revision of the R2 Standard
to include PV equipment has been completed and an addenda to the R2 Standard (Appendix G -Photovoltaic (PV)
Modules), will ensure that R2 facilities that handle PV modules identify some of the key risks associated with
processing this equipment; and R2 facilities are enabled to demonstrate their operations meet the defined R2
sustainable practices for processing PV modules; and provide generators of PV equipment insight into how it is
safely and sustainably managed. After a first round of public comments, the R2 Consensus Body made
substantial changes to the definitions and Appendix G, so a second round of public comments based on the
changes made will be initiated. The definitions and Appendix G will be available for public comment through
our website for 45 days after publication in Standards Action,
and also be announced in SERI’s October R2 Facility Newsletter, and on SERI's social media on 10/6/23.

This part of IEC 62282 provides safety related requirements for construction, operation under normal and abnormal
conditions and the testing of fuel cell and water electrolysis modules. It applies to fuel cell and water electrolysis
modules with the following electrolyte chemistry: alkaline; polymer electrolyte (including direct methanol fuel cells);
phosphoric acid; molten carbonate; solid oxide; aqueous solution of salts. Fuel cell and water electrolysis modules
modules can be provided with or without an enclosure and can be operated at significant pressurization levels or
close to ambient pressure. This document deals with conditions that can yield hazards to persons and cause damage
outside the fuel cell and water electrolysis modules. Protection against damage inside the fuel cell and water
electrolysis modules are not addressed in this document, provided it does not lead to hazards outside the module.
These requirements can be superseded by other standards for equipment containing fuel cell modules or water
electrolysis modules as required for particular applications. This document does not cover fuel cell road vehicle
applications. The fuel cell modules and water electrolysis modules are components of final products. These products
require evaluation according to appropriate end-product safety requirements

adjacent to it. This technique is suitable for application at the onset of a series of environmental tests (e.g.,
qualification or periodic inspection) to evaluate the soundness of the product before the start of test.

and flicker in public low-voltage supply systems, for equipment with rated current ≤16 A per phase and not
subject to conditional connection (new standard)
The purpose of the standard is to recommend a method of quantifying the visibility of temporal light artifacts
(TLA) and to recommend initial, broad application-dependent limits on TLA. The photometric recommendations
and measurement methods are applicable to any lighting equipment (e.g., luminaires, light engines, selfballasted
lamps, drivers, and sensors) with any control system. Specific recommendations and measurement
methods for controls are only included for phase-cut dimming. The standard applies to visibility of TLA to human
observers in applications with limited speeds of motion, such as an office environment.

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/ASCE/CI 67-202x, Schedule Delay Analysis (revision of ANSI/ASCE/CI 67-2017)
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.

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.

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.

The section includes a new requirement for reporting the global warming potential contribution for those products within the building project. This addendum also removes UL100 from the list of third-party multi attribute certifications in Section 9.5.1.4 because UL has withdrawn the standard without replacement and discontinued subscriptions.

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.

Addenda
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.

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.

Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings (addenda to ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2019)
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.

This addendum proposes new requirements for lighting used within indoor plant-growth facilities using a new
metric, photosynthetic photon efficacy (PPE), developed by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological
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.

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.

BSR/IES RP-43-202x, Recommended Practice: Lighting Exterior Applications (illuminance table only) (new
standard)
The purpose of this Recommended Practice (RP) is to provide pedestrian-oriented illumination
recommendations for the reassurance, safety, comfort, amenity, and enjoyment of people in outdoor
environments in lighting zones LZ1 through LZ4. This RP includes recommendations beyond illuminance,
which, when considered alone, is inadequate for addressing the visual needs of pedestrian-based tasks.
Rather, it takes a comprehensive approach and makes recommendations based on lighting zone, glare
avoidance, spectrum, and other visually influential conditions. Application of these recommendations will
ultimately enhance the visual experience for people, while also respecting the environment.

BSR/IES RP-6-202x, Recommended Practice: Lighting Sports and Recreational Areas (revision of ANSI/IES RP-6-2020)
The purpose of this Recommended Practice is to provide the reader with recommendations to aid in the
design of sports lighting systems. Popular sports such as baseball, tennis, basketball, and football, as well as
recreational social activities such as horseshoe pitching and croquet are covered. Venues for spectators of
amateur, collegiate, and professional sports are complex facilities that should provide not only for the
spectators but also the equipment used in modern sports broadcasting. This document does not address the
needs of broadcasting; for this, the reader should look for guidance from the sports league or the project
consultant.

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.

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.

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.

Project Need: Increased prevalence of DC power usage. 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. At the time of this publication, the STP is not aware of any evidence that suggests health hazards are related to cannabis BVOC emissions at the typically observed concentrations.

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. 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

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.

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

ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc.)180 Technology Parkway, Peachtree Corners, GA 30092 (678) 539-1214 www.ashrae.org Addenda BSR/ASHRAE Addendum 62.1e-202x, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality (addenda to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2019)Section 5.10 of ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2019 now instructs designers of ventilation systems to provide equipment and controls that limit the indoor air dew point to a maximum of 60°F (15°C) during both occupied and unoccupied mode operation. 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.

Physicians are increasingly using magnetic resonance imaging as tool for differential diagnostic, thus exposing pacemakers and ICD patients to such equipment. Current product standards for implantable pacemakers and ICDs do not include requirements and test protocols for implantable
pacemakers and ICDs, which would ensure patient safety during such procedures.

This document defines the messaging protocol for the POIS consistent with other parts of the SCTE 130 standard. A POIS, or a repository to which it has access, stores and maintains descriptions of content placement opportunities (typically for advertisements) and the interface supports query and notification operations for those opportunities. A POIS additionally contains features, characteristics, and constraints for each placement opportunity, appropriate for the platform, rights, and policies, including those of the content in which it exists. These placement opportunities may or may not be content-specific and the traits and constraints may vary by network, geographic region, or other content distribution dimension.

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

Attention: ANSI Announces Precautionary Measures Regarding COVID-19
In view of the significant health risks posed by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)—a public health emergency of international concern—ANSI has put in place several precautions, effective until further notice. The precautions are consistent with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) recommendations for strategies that businesses might implement to protect their employees, members and guests.
A collaborative, industry-led effort spearheaded by CTA with contributions from 52 tech companies and trade associations—including several ANSI members—the standard provides a framework for a better understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. It provides a basis for common terminology so that consumers, tech companies, and care providers can better communicate, develop, and use AI-based health care technologies.
Underscoring the important role that standards play in supporting safety in the health care context, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has referenced standards for personal protective equipment (PPE) used in healthcare. The guidance outlines scientific evidence and information on national and international standards, test methods, and specifications for fluid-resistant and impermeable gowns and coveralls used in healthcare.
ANSI Seeks Feedback on a Proposed Technical Committee on Biodiversity
ANSI, the U.S. member body to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), requests feedback on a proposed new ISO technical committee (TC) on biodiversity by April 17, 2020.

Emission Test Site Validation
(Draft ANSI C63.4a) and
Antenna Calibration
(ANSI C63.5)
Workshops
These two workshops are combined into one day covering these topics: (1) review of the updated emission test site validation procedure between 30 MHz and 1 GHz using the so-called normalized site attenuation (NSA) approach. This is intended to replace what is in Annex D in C63.4-2014 and (2) description of the recently published ANSI C63.5 covering antenna calibration and replacing the 10-year-old version of that standard. These workshops are designed to increase your understanding of the updated Annex D in C63.4 and the modifications in the 2006 edition of C63.5 covering antenna calibrations for making emission measurements. For the C63.4a workshop, key changes include performing NSA measurements at 5 meters, highlighting the requirement to have NSA performed with NSA transmit antennas at the height of the equipment being tested, and better defining the maximum frequency intervals in the measurement process. For the C63.5 workshop, the major changes made to the 2006 edition will be presented. These include a new section covering free space correction terms for tuned dipole antennas and biconicals, and one covering calibration frequency spacing. Completely new to C63.5 is a section on the use of time-gating to determine free-space antenna factors above 1 GHz. Several annexes have been added on the site comparison approach. Calibration site requirements and qualifications for hybrid antennas will be explained.
(Visit www.c63.org for more information)
In the Draft C63.4a workshop, you will learn changes to Annex D (NSA) of the 2014 editions in these areas:
Changes to test site validation procedures (30 MHz to 1 GHz)
Regulatory implications
Changes in the application of NSA for tall equipment under test (EUT)
The increased understanding on how to calculate NSA for EUTs of varying heights above 2 meters.
The need to adjust maximum frequency steps for the discrete and swept validation approaches.
In the Antenna Calibration (C63.5) workshop, you will learn:
How to apply time-gating
Application of site comparison method
More stringent calibration site requirements
Specific application for hybrid antennas
Support material provided
A complete lecture flash drive
Who Should Attend
Those responsible for determining compliance with test site validation and those performing antenna calibrations. This includes:
Test lab engineers and technicians performing site validation
Test chamber manufacturers
Those using and calibrating antennas in making radiated emission compliance measurements

"ANSI C12.20-2015 is the most ambitious and significant update to the standard since its inception in 1998," said Shannon Edwards, Electronics Engineer, NIST, Chair, ANSI C12 Subcommittee 16. "This document addresses the challenges of metering in the 21st-century environment head-on."
Enhancements in this fourth edition include:
- Creation of a 0.1 Accuracy Class improving available accuracies for ANSI devices by a factor of two
- Inclusion of harmonic waveform testing to further ensure metering accuracy with distorted loads
- Clarification that the standard only applies to applications where Blondel's Theorem is met
- Improvements in the definition of the Optical Test Output Port (OTOP)
ANSI C12.20-2015 is available in hard copy or as an electronic download for $94 on the NEMA website.

ANSI C12.1-2014 - Code for Electricity Metering
Brad Kelechava - 4/11/2016 12:54:00 PM
/ ANSI C12.1-2014 / code for electricity metering / electric meters / IoT / smart meters / ANSI C12.1-2014 - Code for Electricity Metering
ANSI C12.1-2014 - Electric Meters - Code for Electricity Metering is the latest revision (released in 2016, not 2014) of the standard specifying acceptable performance criteria for new types of ac watt-hour meters, demand meters, demand registers, pulse devices, and auxiliary devices.
The total electricity installed capacity on our planet is currently at about 6 billion kilowatts, and the electrical power industry, in the United States alone, grows by $300 million every year. More importantly, electrical power and access to electricity is so essential to our lives that it has become a necessity comparable to food and water. As we exist now technologically in a digital and cloud based world, we need to be able to properly measure and control the flow of electricity that is used in all buildings, whether they be businesses or homes.
In addition to providing specifications for the performance criteria of different electricity meters and their compliance with government standards, ANSI C12.1-2014 covers guidelines on the testing and installation of the meters. These address a variety of issues that will likely naturally be presented to the meters throughout their life usage, such as the effect of radio frequency interference. This gives utilities, manufacturers, and even legislative bodies the ability to secure the usage of meters over time.
The primary changes to this standard focus on updating the past guidelines on testing equipment to match that currently found in homes around the country. According to Gordon Belcher of Eversource Energy, chair of the ANSI C12.1 Subcommittee on Electricity Metering, “the changes incorporated into ANSI C12.1 better reflect current operational and equipment trends within the utility industry as a whole.”
While this latest update of the standard for the code for electricity metering does not directly confront the issue of the Internet of Things (IoT), it will be interesting to see what impact it will have on future revisions. Millions of smart meters, which send wireless radio signals to the utility company that owns them to bill their customers, have already been installed. While these are meant to enhance the performance of the meter and save energy, some people have become concerned over the invasion of privacy that is posed by giving away data when they use electricity. Additionally, people are concerned with the potential health problems coming from smart meter radio waves. Some protestors even allege that smart meters burn more energy. However, experts acknowledge that the radio raves emitted by smart meters are actually less than those from cell phones, which do not cause adverse health effects.
Currently, the infrastructure for a smart meter type system is covered by ANSI C12.22-2012 - Protocol Specification For Interfacing to Data Communication Networks, which defines network Application Services for the exchange of data between the utility and the smart meter.
Other guidelines for electricity meters include:
ANSI C12.19-2012 - American National Standard for Utility Industry End Device Data Tables
ANSI C12.10:2011 - Physical Aspects of Watthour Meters - Safety Standard
ANSI C12.7-2014 - Requirements for Watthour Meter Sockets
ANSI C12.9-2014 - Test Switches and Plugs for Transformer-Rated Meters
ANSI C12.5-1978 (R2012) - Thermal Demand Meters
ANSI C12.1 and the other meter standards are also available as part of the ANSI C12 Smart Grid Meter Package.
