The standard has been revised to address changes to the OSHA regulations for fall protection, while keeping the document's useful guidance for preventing falls from stages into the orchestra pit or the house. ANSI E1.46 – 2018 can be downloaded at now cost from the ESTA TSP website at tsp.esta.org/freestandards. The no-cost download is made possible by the sponsorship of ProSight Specialty Insurance. Alternatively, the standard may be purchased for $40 from ANSI and IHS at https://webstore.ansi.org/ and https://global.ihs.com/ respectively. ESTA Posts Three Standards for Review Three documents have been posted for public review on the ESTA website at http://tsp.esta.org/tsp/documents/public_review_docs.php. People materially affected by the standards are invited to review them and to comment on them. Two of the documents are reaffirmations of existing standards; Volume 22, Number 14 Page 1 one is a proposed new standard. The reviews run through September 24; please comment before September 25 starts. The documents are: ANSI E1.5, Theatrical Fog Made with Aqueous Solutions of Di- and Trihydric Alcohols ANSI E1.5 – 2009, last reaffirmed in 2014, is being considered for reaffirmation. This standard describes the composition of theatrical fogs or artificial mists that are not likely to be harmful to healthy performers, technicians, or audience members of normal working age. It is limited to those fogs and mists made from a solution of water and one or more dihydric or trihydric alcohols, and is intended to be applied in theatres, arenas, and other places of entertainment or public assembly. ANSI E1.29, Product Safety Standard for Theatrical Fog Generators that Create Aerosols of Water, Aqueous Solutions of Glycol or Glycerin, or Aerosols of Highly Refined Alkane Mineral Oil ANSI E1.29 – 2009, previously reaffirmed in 2014, is being considered for reaffirmation. The standard is intended to help guide product safety testing laboratories in evaluating fog-making equipment for design or construction defects that might create unacceptable hazards. It is based on UL 998 - 2006, Humidifiers, with modifications. Products covered are theatrical fog generators intended for use in professional theatrical entertainment, film and video production, theme parks, and fire safety training. BSR E1.62, Minimum specifications for mass-produced portable platforms, ramps, stairs, and choral risers for live performance events This proposed new standard covers mass-produced portable platforms, stair units and ramps used with those platforms, and choral risers, designed to be used for the presentation of music concerts, dramatic plays, fashion shows, and other entertainment and special events. The units covered by this standard are of a size and weight that allows them to be moved and erected by one or two people. Larger, heavier units are outside the scope of this standard. The scope also includes the legging systems and the railings provided as fall protection accessories. Register for Workshops on ISO 31000 Guidance on Risk Management Systems The American National Standards Institute encourages stakeholders to register for two workshops to develop an International Workshop Agreement (IWA) on using ISO 31000 guidance on risk management in management systems. Released in February, ISO 31000:2018, Risk Management-Guidelines, can be used to better position organizations to achieve objectives, improve the identification of opportunities and threats, and effectively allocate and use resources for risk treatment. Prospective participants can register by 1 October 2018, by following the guidelines in the ISO invitation, available at http://estalink.us/lo3e8. The IWA will aim to: 1. Enable businesses and organizations to benefit from using ISO 31000 guidance on risk management in their existing management systems; and 2. Promote ISO 31000 among management system standards users and promote the use of management systems to users of ISO 31000. The first workshop will take place on October 15 at BSI in London, with an informational pre-workshop meeting to take place on August 6. The meeting is open to experts nominated by an ISO national member body or an international organization that could be considered to be an international liaison. The workshop will cover the summary of progress since the introduction of ISO 31000, discussion of the first draft based on materials sent out ahead of the meeting, and recommendations and next steps. The second workshop on November 12, also at BSI in London, will cover the summary of progress since the first workshop, a review of comments and submissions received on the first draft, and the final review. WTO Technical Barrier to Trade Notifications The U.S. Department of Commerce's service, Notify U.S., recently has announced WTO Technical Barrier to Trade notices that may be of interest to Standards Watch readers. If you have a problem with the TBTs, you can protest through your representative to the WTO. See "Guidance for Comment Submissions by U.S. Industry on Volume 22, Number 14 Page 2 TBT Notifications" at http://tsapps.nist.gov/notifyus/data/guidance/guidance.cfm or http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/ tbt/ for advice on filing objections. United States of America Notification USA/1378 Date issued: 10 July 2018 Agency responsible: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Inquiry Point: USA WTO TBT Enquiry Point Products covered: Lead-based paint (HS 3208; HS 3209) Title: Review of the Dust-Lead Hazard Standards and the Definition of Lead-Based Paint (13 page(s), in English) Description of content: Addressing childhood lead exposure is a priority for EPA. As part of EPA's efforts to reduce childhood lead exposure, EPA evaluated the current dust-lead hazard standards (DLHS) and the definition of lead-based paint (LBP). Based on this evaluation, EPA is proposing to lower the DLHS from from 40 [mu]g/ft\2\ and 250 [mu]g/ft\2\ to 10 [mu]g/ft\2\ and 100 [mu]g/ft\2\ on floors and window sills, respectively. EPA is proposing no changes to the current definition of LBP due to insufficient information to support

  • Of Writing Systems in Terms of Typological and Other Criteria: Cross-Linguistic Observations from the German and Japanese Writing Systems
    The evolution of writing systems: Empirical and cross-linguistic approaches workshop (AG5) @ DGfS2020, Universität Hamburg, Germany; 4-6 March, 2020 ‘Evolution’ of writing systems in terms of typological and other criteria: Cross-linguistic observations from the German and Japanese writing systems Terry Joyce Dimitrios Meletis Tama University, Japan University of Graz, Austria [email protected] [email protected] Overview Opening remarks Selective sample of writing system (WS) typologies Alternative criteria for evaluating WSs Observations from German (GWS) + Japanese (JWS) Closing remarks Opening remarks 1: Chaos over basic terminology! Erring towards understatement, Gnanadesikan (2017: 15) notes, [t]here is, in general, significant variation in the basic terminology used in the study of writing systems. Indeed, as Meletis (2018: 73) observes regarding the differences between the concepts of WS and orthography, [t]hese terms are often shockingly misused as synonyms, or writing system is not used at all and orthography is employed instead. Similarly, Joyce and Masuda (in press) seek to differentiate between the elusive trinity of terms at heart of WS research; namely, script, WS, and orthography, with particular reference to the JWS. Opening remarks 2: Our working definitions WS1 [Schrifttyp]: Abstract relations (i.e., morphographic, syllabographic, + phonemic), as focus of typologies. WS2 [Schriftsystem]: Common usage for signs + conventions of given language, such as GWS + JWS. Script [Schrift]: Set of material signs for specific language. Orthography [Orthographie]: Mediation between script + WS, but often with prescriptive connotations of correct writing. Graphematic representation: Emerging from grapholinguistic approach, a neutral (ego preferable) alternative to orthography. GWS: Use of extended alphabetic set, as used to represent written German language.
