ANSI Standards Action - March 19, 2021 - Page 2 of 100 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.

Project Need: The purpose of this standard is to establish for Central Station Air-Handling Unit Casings: Definitions; classifications; test requirements; rating requirements; minimum data requirements for Published Ratings; operating requirements; marking and nameplate data; and conformance conditions. Scope: This standard applies to the enclosure which houses the fans, coils, filters, and other components of the Central Station Air-Handling Unit (CSAHU). This standard establishes the test requirements, rating requirements, and minimum data requirements for Casing Deflection Rating Class, Casing Air Leakage Class, Thermal Transmittance Class with Leakage, Thermal Transmittance Class without Leakage, Thermal Bridging Class, Filter Bypass Leakage, and Acoustic Insulation of Casing.
