ANSI Procedures require notification of ANSI by ANSI-accredited standards developers (ASD) of the initiation and scope of activities expected to result innew or revised American National Standards (ANS). Early notification of activity intended to reaffirm or withdraw an ANS and in some instances a PINSrelated 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 Actionentitled "American National Standards Maintained Under Continuous Maintenance" for additional or comparable information with regard to standardsmaintained under the continuous maintenance option. To view information about additional standards for which a PINS has been submitted and to searchapproved ANS, please visit www.NSSN.org, which is a database of standards information. Note that this database is not exhaustive.

Directly and materially affected interests wishing to receive more information or to submit comments are requested to contact the standards developerdirectly within 30 days of the publication of this announcement.

BSR/AHRI Standard 230-201x, Sound Intensity Testing Procedures forDetermining Sound Power of HVAC Equipment (new standard)

This standard applies to HVAC products where sound power isdetermined by measurement using the sound intensity method. Thisstandard provides a standalone method of test that is referenced byother AHRI sound performance rating standards and provides analternative to the reverberation room method of test outlined in AHRIStandard 220.

Project Need: The purpose of this standard is to provide themethodology for the determination of Sound Power Levels of noisesources using the sound intensity method. The standard containsinformation on instrumentation, installation, and operation of the sourceand procedures for the calculation of Sound Power Level.

Stakeholders: This standard is intended for the guidance of theindustry, including manufacturers, engineers, installers, contractors,and users.

BSR/AHRI Standard 250-201x, Performance and Calibration ofReference Sound Sources (revision of ANSI/AHRI Standard 250-2011)

This standard applies to all Reference Sound Sources used inconjunction with AHRI sound rating standards and covers the one-thirdoctave band frequency range from 50 to 10,000 Hz. This standard alsoincludes calibration over a limited frequency range. Multiple ReferenceSound Sources may be used to cover the entire frequency range from50 to 10,000 Hz.

Project Need: The purpose of this standard is to establish theperformance characteristics of a Reference Sound Source, define theacoustical calibration procedures, and define the method for transfer ofcalibration from a Primary to a Secondary or Working Reference SoundSource.

Stakeholders: This standard is intended for the guidance of theindustry, including manufacturers, engineers, installers, contractors,and users.

The scope of work for Guidelines for the Design of StormwaterImpoundments includes: objective of stormwater impoundments,regulations, requirements for design, type of stormwaterimpoundments, safety, inflow hydrology, hydraulic design, routing, andwater quality.

Project Need: These guidelines are intended to focus on local andregional impoundments that are targeted to manage, treat, and\orattenuate stormwater runoff from urbanizing areas. The goal of theseimpoundments is to reduce the impact of stormwater on downstreamareas due to urbanization from water discharge and water qualityperspectives.

Stakeholders: This document will provide guidelines to the engineers,educators, governmental officials, and researchers focusing the designof impoundments that are targeted to manage, treat, and attenuatestormwater runoff from urbanizing areas.

Commercial refrigerators and freezers • • • 8 Prefabricated walk-in and roll-in refrigerators and freezers • • • 8.1.1.2 PVC laminated steel or aluminum PVC laminated steel or aluminum may be used as the finished floor of walk-in and roll-in refrigerators and freezers provided that the substrate is at least as corrosion resistant as G90 galvanized steel. The PVC film shall consist of one or more layers that are obtained through a continuous calendering or extrusion process and continuously laminated to the substrate. The PVC laminated material shall comply with the performance criteria in 8.4.

NOTE – Calendering is a process of smoothing and compressing a material during production by passing a single continuous sheet through a number of pairs of heated rolls.

Reason: Language added to permit laminated PVC metal flooring materials for use in walk in roll in refrigerators and freezers (FE-2011-9 revised 12-11-12).

• • • 8.4 Performance for PVC laminated steel or aluminum 8.4.1 Performance requirement PVC laminated steel or aluminum flooring material shall be capable of withstanding abrasion, impact, and adhesion resistance as outlined in 8.4.2, 8.4.3, and 8.4.4. 8.4.2 Abrasion resistance test method Abrasion resistance shall be evaluated using three laminated test plaques that represent the finished product. The laminated test plaques shall be conditioned for at least 24 h at 73 ± 3 °F (23 ± 2 °C) and 50 ± 5% relative

humidity. Each laminated test plaques shall be weighed to the nearest milligram. The samples shall be mounted on a Taber®1 Abraser, or equivalent apparatus, with No. S-35 standardized abrasion test wheels and a total applied load of 4.4 lb (2.0 kg). Samples shall undergo 200 wear cycles. The final mass of each sample shall be recorded and subtracted from its initial weight. Each sample shall be inspected for substrate exposure. 8.4.2.1 Acceptance criteria The mass of laminate lost from each test sample shall be less than 200 milligrams, and the substrate shall not be exposed on any of the samples. 8.4.3 Impact resistance test method Impact resistance shall be evaluated per ASTM D 2794 using three laminated test plaques that represent the finished product. The laminated test plaques shall be conditioned for at least 24 h at -10 ± 3 °F (-23 ± 2 °C) . Each of the samples shall be subjected to a single impact force of 160 in-lbs (1.8 kg-m) delivered with a 4.0-lb (1.8 kg) weight and a 1/2 in (0.500 in, 12.7 mm) diameter hemispherical-head steel punch. Samples shall be supported by a platform consisting of a 1/4 in (0.25 in, 6.4 mm) thick neoprene rubber pad with a durometer hardness value of 60 ± 5 that is secured to an anvil (a die shall not be used). The samples shall be secured to the platform; the neoprene pad shall not be compressed by the securing mechanism (i.e., clamping). 8.4.3.1 Acceptance criteria The samples shall not exhibit any cracking, chipping, or peeling at the impact site. 8.4.4 Adhesion resistance test method Adhesion ability shall be evaluated using three laminated test plaques that represent the finished product. The laminated test plaques shall be conditioned for at least 24 h at 73 ± 3 °F (23 ± 2 °C) and 50 ± 5% relative humidity. The plaques shall be evaluated using Method B of ASTM D3359. One evaluation shall be performed per sample plaque. 8.4.4.1 Acceptance criteria For each sample plaque, the grid area shall be classified as 5B per ASTM D3359, or the edges of the cuts shall be completely smooth and none of the squares of the lattice shall be detached.

Reason: Language added to describe the testing requirements for laminated PVC metal flooring materials for use in walk in roll in refrigerators and freezers (FE-2011-9 revised 12-11-12).
