Comment Deadline: November 15, 2015 ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc.) Addenda BSR/ASHRAE/ASHE Addendum 170ad-201x, Ventilation of Health Care Facilities (addenda to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 170-2013) This proposed addendum subdivides examination rooms beyond the current division of emergency and non-emergency rooms and establishes air change rates commensurate with the risk within those specialized rooms. Administrative controls (such as assignment of patients to specialized rooms) are an important preventive strategy to supplement the benefit of environmental controls. As such, these administrative controls would be applied to people presenting with undiagnosed gastrointestinal, respiratory, or skin infection symptoms, e.g., phone triage, prompt triage to an area away from others, and assignment to a Special Examination Room.

Addenda BSR/ASHRAE/ASHE Addendum 170h-201x, Ventilation of Health Care Facilities (addenda to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 170-2013) Currently, in the industry there is a discrepancy in several requirements for environmental conditions in areas of the Sterile Processing Department (SPD) between ASHRAE standards and AAMI standards. ASHRAE standards guide the design of these areas, while AAMI standards guide the operation of these areas. Therefore, some amount of agreement is required between these two groups. In April of 2015 representatives of ASHRAE, AAMI, FGI, AORN, ASHE and APIC met to discuss these issues. This proposed addendum represents the recommendations for space temperature in several spaces from this group.

Standards Action - October 16, 2015 - Page 16 of 43 Pages American National Standards Maintained Under Continuous Maintenance The ANSI Essential Requirements: Due Process Requirements for American National Standards provides two options for the maintenance of American National Standards (ANS): periodic maintenance (see clause 4.7.1) and continuous maintenance (see clause 4.7.2). Continuous maintenance is defined as follows: The standard shall be maintained by an accredited standards developer. A documented program for periodic publication of revisions shall be established by the standards developer. Processing of these revisions shall be in accordance with these procedures. The published standard shall include a clear statement of the intent to consider requests for change and information on the submittal of such requests. Procedures shall be established for timely, documented consensus action on each request for change and no portion of the standard shall be excluded from the revision process. In the event that no revisions are issued for a period of four years, action to reaffirm or withdraw the standard shall be taken in accordance with the procedures contained in the ANSI Essential Requirements. The Executive Standards Council (ExSC) has determined that for standards maintained under the Continuous Maintenance option, separate PINS announcements are not required.
