of ANSI X9.100-151-2010)
Stakeholders: Financial institutions, designers and producers of
correction strips, developers of processing hardware equipment and
software.
Project Need: A need developed to rapidly return checks to the Bank of
First Deposit. This added emphasis on strip use resulted in the
formalizing and controlling of the strip characteristics through this
specification.
This standard covers the design and the functional characteristics of
the strip extension (strip) as affixed to a check. These strips provide a

BSR X9.100-182-2011 (R201x), Bulk Image and Data Delivery
(standard, XSD Schema, and TR 40) (reaffirmation of ANSI X9.100
-182-2011)
Stakeholders: The audience interested in this standard is any
organization that develops image export or import software, or receives
physical delivery of media containing images for import to or access by
local software.
Project Need: The purpose of this bulk delivery is to allow import to a
local archive, viewing of images and printing of image statements.
Without a standardized media-based image exchange format, the bulk
images may be unusable by the recipient.
Organizations receiving images from multiple sources generally are not
equipped to recognize all the images received because vendors use
diverse image compression and image file formats. This media-based
image exchange format will standardize the export and import of image
data regardless of what type of hardware/software was used to
capture, store or export the images. Software standardized to a mediabased image exchange format will allow image data to be usable
across vendor platforms thus reducing expense, duplication of effort
and assist with archiving and retrieval processes. In addition, the
media-based image exchange format allows a common index structure
for such exchanges, thus benefitting a diverse community of users.

Proximity Warning Devices, (PWD). This Standard specifies the
characteristic mechanical and electrical performance levels required for
these devices.

This standard provides methods for analysing data from a Weibull

distribution using continuous parameters such as time to failure, cycles
to failure, mechanical stress, etc. This standard is applicable whenever
data on strength parameters, e.g., times to failure, cycles, stress, etc.
are available for a random sample of items operating under test
conditions or in-service, for the purpose of estimating measures of
reliability performance of the population from which these items were
drawn. This standard is applicable when the data being analysed are
independently, identically distributed. This should either be tested or
assumed to be true (see IEC 60300-3-5). In this standard, numerical
methods and graphical methods are described to plot data, to make a
goodness-of-fit test, to estimate the parameters of the two- or threeparameter Weibull distribution and to plot confidence limits. Guidance
is given on how to interpret the plot in terms of risk as a function of
time, failure modes, and possible weak population and time to first
failure or minimum endurance.

BSR/UL 539, Standard for Safety for Single and Multiple Station Heat Alarms
PROPOSALS
1. Revised Oven Test
24 Oven Test
24.1 A heat alarm shall operate as intended during testing as described in 24.2 - 24.4. In addition, the
activating temperatures of a minimum of five alarms classified for low and ordinary temperatures, as
shown in Table 5.1, shall lie within a range of 15F (8.3C), and the actuating temperatures of a minimum
of five alarms classified for intermediate temperatures shall lie within a range of 20F (11C). These tests
are to be conducted on samples in the as-received condition.
Five heat alarms shall independently produce an alarm signal within 2 minutes or less when subjected to
the time-temperature condition shown in Figure 24.1. If the five heat alarms produce the alarm signal
within 2 minutes as specified, the product shall be eligible for a 15-foot (4.57-m) installation spacing.
24.2 The test apparatus is to consist of a full draft circulating air oven capable of producing the timetemperature curve illustrated in Figure 24.1. Air is to be moved past the sample at a velocity of 230 to 245
feet per minute (1.17 to 1.24 m/s). The temperature in the oven is to be recorded by means of a
thermocouple and calibrated potentiometer.
Heat alarm samples shall be uniform in operation when mounted in the same position. They are to be
tested in each of the different positions permitted by the design. Operation is considered uniform if the
heat alarms operate within the applicable temperature range indicated in the tabulation under the
Operating Temperature Test, Section 28. See Table 28.1.
24.3 The heat alarm under test is to be installed in the test oven with its temperature sensitive element
located in the air stream and positioned so that there is no obstruction of the moving air to the sensing
element.
Performance under this time-temperature condition is to be tested, recorded, and compared to Figure
24.1 to determine the responsiveness of the device, its uniformity, and its qualifications for a 15-foot
(4.57-m) spacing. The spacing limitation is to be based upon the performance with the samples located in
the least favorable position on the sample-mounting panel.

Standards Action - September 30, 2016 - Page 52 of 72 Pages

Figure 24.1
Time temperature curve - oven test

24.4 After installation in the oven, the heat alarm is to be subjected to the time-temperature conditions
illustrated in Figure 24.1. The time and temperature of actuation are to be recorded at the instant the unit
goes into alarm.
To verify uniform performance of a heat alarm, the test is to be repeated four times (totaling 5 samples)
using a different sample for each test, but each of the five samples is to be installed on the samplemounting panel in the same position. Depending upon the construction of the heat alarm, it may be
necessary to repeat the oven tests with test samples rotated 90 degrees and 180 degrees from the
original test position.

Standards Action - September 30, 2016 - Page 53 of 72 Pages

24.5 To determine that the performance of a heat alarm is uniform, a minimum of five samples are to be
tested, using a different sample for each test, but each of the five samples is to be installed inside the
chamber in the same position.
The testing oven is to consist of an oval stainless steel container approximately 31 inches (787 mm) long
and 10 inches (254 mm) wide by 16 inches (406 mm) high, made of material with a minimum thickness of
0.108 inch (2.74 mm). One of the curved end sections is to be hinged. See Figure 24.2 for typical
construction of a heat alarm test oven. A section 6 by 6 inches (152 by 152 mm) at the top is to be fitted
with a removable wooden cover. The heat alarms are to be tested as mounted one at a time on this
cover.

Standards Action - September 30, 2016 - Page 54 of 72 Pages

24.6 Two glass windows, 4 by 6 inches (102 by 152 mm) in size, are to be provided in the sides of the
oven for observation of the samples under test.
24.7 The interior of the oven is to be divided horizontally by a baffle over the heater chamber located in
the central lower section. One end of the horizontal baffle is to be joined to a guide vane extending
upward at an angle of 72 degrees into the oven chamber. The vane is to direct the air currents to ensure
greater uniformity of temperature in the oven.
24.8 Eight 1000-watt cone-shaped heating coils threaded into Edison-base lampholders are to furnish the
heat. They are to be connected so that six of the heating coils are controlled by means of a data
acquisition and control instrument. The other two heating coils are for supplying additional heat when
necessary.
24.9 An air current through the bank of heaters is to be created by means of a four-blade 5-inch (127mm) fan located behind the heating coils and connected to a shaft that extends to the outside of the oven.
A variable-speed motor is to be mounted on a bracket inside the lower cabinet and is to operate the fan
through a pulley and belt arrangement. The speed of the motor is to be adjusted and the pitch of the fan
blades is to be such that the velocity of the air current is 230 - 245 feet per minute (1.17 - 1.24 m/s) over
the sample under test.
24.10 Temperatures are to be measured by means of a type J thermocouple inserted through a tube
extending to the inside of the test chamber, located in the same plane as the device under test, on the
upstream side. The air velocity is to be measured prior to testing by a velometer inserted in the oven at a
point approximately 1-1/4 inches (31.8 mm) from the top of the oven in the same location as the heat
alarm. The velocity is to be measured with the alarm removed.
24.11 The time and temperature build-up during the test is to be monitored and controlled by a data
acquisition and control instrument.
24.12 In certain devices, variations in operation are possible with the device installed in different positions
with respect to the direction of air flow. In such cases, the sensitivity or spacing designation is to be
determined from test data with the device mounted in the least favorable position.
24.13 Preparation for test consists of mounting the heat alarm on the small removable wooden panel.
Conduit-fitting mountings are to be accommodated on a special panel provided with a 3-by-3 inch (76.2by-76.2 mm) conduit box fitted into the panel. Flush-mounted devices employ a plain wood panel. The
test sample is to remain in the oven at least 5 minutes prior to the start of each test run.
24.14 Where applicable, multiple-station interconnect, relay connections, or other wire connections are to
be wired in accordance with the installation instructions. Operation of the alarms and their associated
connections shall be verified in accordance with the requirements outlined in this standard and the
provided installation instructions.
24.15 After installation in the oven, the heat alarm is to be subjected to the time-temperature condition
illustrated in Figure 24.1. Oven temperature at the start of the test is to be 85 - 90F (29.4 - 32.2C).
24.16 After the heat alarm produces the alarm signal, the current applied to the bank of heaters is to be
cut off and the oven is to be cooled to room temperature by use of the external cooling fan.

2. New Rate-of-Rise Test

(NEW)
31A Rate-of-Rise Operation Test
31A.1 Heat alarms that operate on the rate-of-rise principle shall be calibrated so that the devices will
function at the rate of rise for which they are intended but shall not operate when subjected to a rate of
temperature rise of 12F (6.7C) per minute or less until a temperature of at least 130F (54C) is reached
[starting from a temperature of 85 to 90F (29.4 to 32.2C)].
31A.2 Five samples of rate-of-rise heat alarms are to be tested in the testing oven under various uniform
temperature-rise conditions. Typical rates of rise of temperature, such as 12, 15, and 20F (6.7, 8.3, and
11.1C) per minute, and the intended (rated) temperature rate of rise are to be employed. Each unit is to
remain in the oven ambient at least 5 minutes prior to a test run.

underlined and proposed deletions are shown lined-out.
1. Proposed revision to Section 5, Assembly

RATIONALE
Proposal submitted by: Robert Sampson, Skyco Skylights
This section is not clear and I don't think it accomplishes what it is intended to
accomplish. I believe that the intent is to insure that the unit is of sufficient height above
the roof top surface to meet good roofing practice. This practice is to keep the height
high enough for water tight performance related to snow, ice, water ponding and water
flow on the roof surface. The problem is that the proper height is dependent on a
number of factors related to the application. Location, weather conditions, roof system,
installation detail and roof pitch all play a part in determining this. The construction of
the roof system including insulation depth and roof system depth also are in play. For
example when a smoke vent is anchored onto the roof deck and there are 6 inches of
insulation and a roofing membrane on top of that a smoke vent constructed with a 9-1/2"
curb height translates to a height of 3-1/2" above the roof finished surface. In this case

Standards Action - September 30, 2016 - Page 58 of 72 Pages

the height would be inadequate for a low slope application and especially one in a snow
area. The smoke vent manufacturers already recognize this and are making curbs
higher than 9-1/2" for such applications. Insulation layers will continue to increase in
response to the energy code requirements. This section attempts to cover the worst
case conditions and also provide a measurement that can be verified at the
manufacturers facility but the measurement is meaningless. An additional measure to
insure vents are of sufficient height should be incorporated in the manufacturer's
instruction sheets and shop drawings. A tag on the product might also be employed.

PROPOSAL
5.3 A mechanically-opened vent shall open outward and the top cover shall not be any
closer than 241 mm (9-1/2 in) to the top curb height from the finished roof surface, or
305 mm (12 in) to the bottom of the roof deck when opening or when fully open.
2. Proposed revision to Section 12, Fire Resistance Test

RATIONALE
Proposal submitted by: Robert Sampson, Skyco Skylights
It seems appropriate to add to this section the related requirement from the ICC Code
as it applies to flat plastic glazing options for smoke vents.

PROPOSAL
12.1 A vent with aluminum covers shall comply with the classification of "Class A" with
respect to the Burning Brand Test, as described in the Standard for Standard Test
Methods for Fire Tests of Roof Coverings, UL 790. A vent constructed with flat plastic
glazing shall conform to International Building Code, Section 2610.3.
