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. To view information about additional standards for which a PINS has been submitted and to search
approved ANS, please visit www.NSSN.org, which is a database of standards information. Note that this database is not exhaustive.

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

American National Standards Maintained Under

Continuous Maintenance
The ANSI Essential Requirements: Due Process Requirements for American National Standards provide two options for the
maintenance of American National Standards (ANS): periodic maintenance (see clause 4.7.1) and continuous maintenance
(see clause 4.7.2). Continuous maintenance is defined as follows:

The standard shall be maintained by an accredited standards developer. A documented program for periodic publication of
revisions shall be established by the standards developer. Processing of these revisions shall be in accordance with these
procedures. The published standard shall include a clear statement of the intent to consider requests for change and
information on the submittal of such requests. Procedures shall be established for timely, documented consensus action on
each request for change and no portion of the standard shall be excluded from the revision process. In the event that no
revisions are issued for a period of four years, action to reaffirm or withdraw the standard shall be taken in accordance with
the procedures contained in the ANSI Essential Requirements.

The Executive Standards Council (ExSC) has determined that for standards maintained under the Continuous
Maintenance option, separate PINS announcements are not required. The following ANSI Accredited Standards
Developers have formally registered standards under the Continuous Maintenance option.

Information Concerning
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
New Field of Technical Activity

Proposal for a new technical committee entitled “Switchgear and

controlgear and their assemblies for low voltage”

Comment Deadline: August 30, 2013

The IEC National Committees have been invited to vote before September, 6, 2013 on a proposal
by IEC SC17B and IEC SC17D Secretaries for a New Field of Technical Activity – Switchgear
and Controlgear and Their Assemblies for Low Voltage.

Draft Scope: To prepare international standards for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear
equipment for industrial, commercial and similar use rated below or equal to 1 kV a.c. and
1,5 kV d.c, electromechanical as well as semiconductor (solid state) equipment. The scope
includes open and enclosed separate items of equipment as well as assemblies which are
the combinations of items of equipment into complete functional units.

Purpose and Justification: Introduction: After the consultation made by TC 17 (document

17/996/Q) about its structure, the resulting comments (document 17/998/RQ) have pointed
the necessity for a stronger coordination between SC 17B and SC 17D which was not easy
without any activities at TC 17 level. The document proposes a new organization for low
voltage activities.

Business: In mature countries, most of the devices covered by SC 17B are integrated
within assemblies covered by SC 17D. Continued effort is required to ensure wider
adoption of the standards in less developed markets and countries. The market trend is to
optimise solutions in terms of functions and performance, at a high level of safety for each
domain of application, for example: infrastructure, building, machinery, etc. This implies a
stronger coordination between component and assembly standards committees, especially
for new industrial applications, such as PV, windmills, etc.

Technology: The new trends are the incorporation of more electronic parts in switchgear, of
more IT subsystems integrated in assemblies, of DC power supply distribution and of
aluminum conductors. These are the challenges for future common rules in SC 17B and
SC 17D.

The U S National Committee has been invited to indicate if it agrees with the scope proposed for
this new IEC TC, if it wishes to register as a Participating Member and if it intends to actively
participate. If the USNC is to become a P Member, a Technical Advisory Group (TAG) will have
to be established and a TAG Administrator will have to be assigned. If any entities are interested
in the position of TAG Administrator, they are invited to contact by FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 2013,

BSR/ASQ Z1.9-2003 (R201x)

FOREWORD
The present version of ANSI/ASQ Z1.9-2008 (R2013) is identical to its 2008 version with the exception
of a minor change, and continues to allow complete interchangeability of the tabulated plans with ISO
3951-1, which provided a graphical means for implementation of the plans. ANSI/ASQ Z1.9-2008 (R2013)
is also roughly matched to ANSI/ASQ Z1.4-2008 (R2013), which corresponds directly to the old military
standard MIL-STD-105E. The matching is sufficient to allow inspection under either standard for stated
AQLs and inspection levels with reasonably equivalent protection. Tables are given in Section E—
Appendix that show differences in protection between ANSI/ASQ Z1.9-2008 (R2013) and ANSI/ASQ
Z1.4-2008 (R2013). These are for use in critical applications to determine whether moving from one
standard to the other is appropriate.

Change:

Table B-2 Standard Deviation Method Master Table for Reduced Inspection for Plans Based on Variability
Unknown (Single Specification Limit – Form 1)
-In row N, changed Sample Size from 30 to 50.

G.3.4 Uniformity of output test method for feeder settings resulting in more than 5.0 lbs/d
(2.27 kg/d) output

G.3.4.1 Method

NOTE – The method described here is primarily intended for the testing of basic erosion-type flow-
through chemical feeders. Some modification may be required when evaluating differing types of
flow-through chemical feeder designs. However, the intent of the method shall be maintained when
these modifications are made.

a) Install the flow-through chemical feeder in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, with
its influent connected to the discharge side of the supply pump and its effluent directed to drain.
Position a flow meter inline with the feeder.

b) Fill the tank with water conditioned to parameters specified in Annex G, section G.3.3. Fill the
feeder with the maximum amount of recommended chemicals.

c) Condition the feeder for 10 min ± 30 s by running the appropriate test water through the feeder at
the maximum (100%) output rate control mechanism setting.

d) Allow the feeder to operate at the maximum output rate control mechanism setting for 1 h ± 6
min. Sample both the influent and the effluent from the feeder and determine the concentration of
active chemical being dispensed after the 1-h conditioning period. This sample will provide the
first of five sample points used to determine repeatability.

e) Continue operating the feeder at the maximum output rate control mechanism setting, and
sample both the influent and the effluent of the feeder four times so that each sample is taken at
a 5 min interval. Determine the concentration of the active chemical in each influent and effluent
sample. These data shall be used to determine repeatability.

f) Repeat d) and e) at 50% of the output rate control mechanism setting.

g) Calculate the net output concentration at each sampling interval by subtracting the influent
concentration from the effluent concentration. Convert the net output concentration to the units
with which the manufacturer specifies the output rate for the feeder.

h) Calculate the average output rate for both the 50% and 100% tests.

i) Calculate the variance of each output rate from the average output rate for the 50% and 100%
tests.

j) Calculate the average of the absolute values of the variances from average to obtain the average
repeatability. Do this for both the 50% and 100% tests.
