  • Improving Access to Engineering Standards Abstract Background
    Improving Access to Engineering Standards By LCDR Julia Kane, CDR Hugo Gonzalez, CAPT Alex Dailey Of the Public Health Engineering Practice Subcommittee of EPAC June 2020 Abstract Engineering standards are documents that specify characteristics and technical details that must be met to ensure minimum performance, meet safety requirements, and make sure that the product/system/process promotes productivity, reliability, and efficiency1. They provide a common language for talking about products or processes and an enforceable means to evaluate acceptability to protect the public from questionable designs, products, and practices. As Public Health Service (PHS) engineers, many of us write, update, and/or review technical specifications, the accuracy and detail of which are critical for creating the requirements for ensuring high-quality deliverables to the communities we serve; and a key component of any technical specification is the engineering standards that it references. As engineers we often need to consult the standards referenced in our work in order to review technical details for the purpose of comparing a product submitted as “equal” to that which was specified, or to verify that an item undergoes certain tests in its manufacture or that a proposed process includes all the required steps. However we often do not have access to the standards because they must be purchased from the standards development organizations (SDO), and there are copyright laws that limit sharing and distribution. Our organizations may provide limited, however time-consuming, opportunities for us to request the purchase of individual standards on an as-needed basis, or to buy a set every 5 or more years from a single SDO, such as AWWA, but there are many standards we reference from a number of SDOs so it becomes quite costly to purchase them all and to buy the updates from each SDO as they become available.
