ANSI Standards Action - February 12, 2021 - Page 2 of 54 pages 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 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. AAMI (Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation) 901 N. Glebe Road, Suite 300, Arlington, VA 22203 www.aami.org Contact: Cliff Bernier; [email protected] New National Adoption BSR/AAMI/ISO 18472-202x, Sterilization of health care products - Biological and chemical indicators - Test equipment (identical national adoption of ISO 18472:2018) Stakeholders: Biological and chemical indicator manufacturers. Project Need: Provides requirements for performance of test equipment (resistometers) for testing and characterizing biological and chemical indicators. Scope: This document specifies the requirements for test equipment to be used to: — test biological indicators for steam, ethylene oxide gas, and dry heat sterilization processes for conformity to the requirements given in ISO 11138 series; — test chemical indicators for steam, ethylene oxide gas, dry heat and vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization processes for conformity to the requirements given in ISO 11140‑1:2014. This document also provides informative methods useful in characterizing the performance of biological and chemical indicators for intended use and for routine quality control testing. ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc.) 1791 Tullie Circle NE, Atlanta, GA 30329 www.ashrae.org Contact: Tanisha Meyers-Lisle; [email protected] Revision BSR/ASHRAE Standard 209-202X, Energy Simulation Aided Design for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings (revision of ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 209-2018) Stakeholders: Building energy modelers, architects, and design engineers. Project Need: To revise Standard 209 which is already referenced by AIA, USGBC, ASHRAE, IBPSA-USA, and others. Scope: This standard applies to new buildings or major renovations of, or additions to, existing buildings utilizing energy simulation during the design process. This standard does not apply to single-family houses, multi-family structures of three stories or fewer above grade, manufactured houses (mobile homes) and modular homes.

Scope: This standard test method establishes measurement techniques, under specified conditions, to determine offset voltage (ion balance) and discharge time (charge neutralization time) for ionizers. This standard test method does not include measurements of electromagnetic interference (EMI), or uses of ionizers in connection with ordnance, flammables, explosive items, or electrically initiated explosive devices.

Fire protection system designers and inspectors. Sprinkler fitters, fire-protection professionals, fire marshals, and municipalities. Project Need: There is not currently a standard that covers the personnel who work on NFPA 770 systems. Scope: This standard fills a requirement that is part of NFPA 770. NFPA 770 requires certification for designers, installers and ITM personnel (inspection, testing, and maintenance) who work on systems as described in NFPA 770. These are special hazard fire protection systems that use hybrid (water and inert gas) fire extinguishing systems.

Project Need: There currently are not any standards covering this type of product. Scope: The scope of this standard covers automatic hot-water balancing valves used in potable water systems. It covers performance, testing, and labeling requirements. The automatic hot-water balancing valve includes thermostatic (fixed-cartridge or adjustable type), pressure-independent (fixed-cartridge or adjustable type), and electronically actuated type. Automatic hot-water balancing valve control thermal loses in the potable hot-water distribution system to maintain the design temperature.

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 CISPR 16-1-1 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
