Standards Action - November 9, 2007 - Page 7 of 24 Pages BIFMA (Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association) Revisions BSR/BIFMA X5.5-200x, Standard for Office Furnishings - Desk/Table Products (revision of ANSI/BIFMA X5.5-1998) Provides a common basis for evaluating the safety, durability and structural performance, including reasonably foreseeable misuse, of desk/table products. It provides test methods and performance requirements for desk/table products, and specifies acceptance levels to help ensure reasonable safety and performance independent of construction materials, manufacturing processes, mechanical designs, or aesthetic designs. The intention is to describe the means of evaluating function and safety of desk/table products without restricting construction materials, manufacturing processes, or designs.

Project Initiation Notification System (PINS) Standards Action - November 9, 2007 - Page 15 of 24 Pages 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.

BSR/ABYC S-31-200x, Environmental Considerations for Distributed Power Systems Installed Onboard Boats (new standard) Stakeholders: Boat manufacturers, insurance personnel, surveyors, trade organizations, and consumers. Project Need: To identify safety issues with distributed power systems onboard boats. This standard is intended for the qualification of distributed power systems for use onboard boats. ASABE (American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers) Office: 2950 Niles Road St Joseph, MI 49085 Contact: Carla VanGilder E-mail: vangilder@asabe.org BSR/ASABE S607-200x, Fan Ventilation of Confined-Space Manure Storages for Safe Entry (new standard) Stakeholders: Farm families, agricultural construction firms, ventilation equipment dealers, engineers. Project Need: Each year, there are fatalities on farms due to entry into confined-space manure storages. Forced ventilation has been shown to be effective for reducing concentrations of these noxious gases to levels that are safe for human entry into the pits. The standard is limited to on-farm confined-space, on-farm manure storages with solid, partially slotted or totally slotted covers. The primary focus of the standard will be for rectangular prismatic or cylindrical shaped storages. The standard will be sufficiently broad for use in installing ventilation systems in existing manure storage systems and for designing ventilation systems in new installations. The standard identifies evacuation times to reduce noxious gases from maximum expected concentrations to levels safe for human occupancy. ASTM (ASTM International) Office: 100 Barr Harbor Drive West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959 Contact: Helene Skloff E-mail: hskloff@astm.org; cleonard@astm.org BSR/ASTM Z3563Z/WK13581-200x, Guide for Measurement for Remaining Antioxidant Content in In-Service Industrial Lubricants by Linear Sweep Voltammetry (new standard) Stakeholders: Petroleum Products and Lubricants Industry. Project Need: The standard will be a complementary to the existing standards ASTM D6810 and D6971, in order to include correctly these techniques as part of the oil condition monitoring practices. Addresses and specifies the correct guidelines for users of voltammetric techniques as part of antioxidant condition monitoring techniques. BSR/ASTM Z4035Z/WK786-200x, Test Method for Determination of Oxygenates in Ethene, Propene, C4, and C5 Hydrocarbon Matrices by Gas Chromatography and Flame Ionization Detection (new standard) Stakeholders: Petroleum Products and Lubricants Industry. Project Need: Oxygenates are considered catalyst poisons and must be dectected and measured to protect commercial process. Covers the gas chromatographic procedure for the quantitative determination of organic oxygenates in ethylene, propylene, C4, and C4 matrices by multidimensional gas chromatography and flame ionization detection. BSR/ASTM Z4079Z/WK16905-200x, Standard Practice for Sampling, Storage, and Handling of Hydrocarbon Samples for Mercury Analysis (new standard) Stakeholders: Petroleum Products and Lubricants Industry. Project Need: To develop a new Standard Practice to address sampling, storage, and handling issues associated with hydrocarbon samples involving mercury analysis. Covers the types of and preparation of containers found most suitable for the handling of hydrocarbon samples for the determination of mercury. BSR/ASTM Z4081Z/WK16931-200x, Standard Practice for Sample Preparation of Petroleum and Lubricant Products for Elemental Analysis (new standard) Stakeholders: Petroleum Products and Lubricants Industry. Project Need: To provide only the basic steps for generally encountered sample types. Anything out of the ordanary may require special procedures. Describes different means by which petroleum product and lubricant samples can be prepared before the measurement of their elemental content using different analytical techniques.
