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. 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.
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.

American National Standards Maintained Under

Continuous Maintenance
The ANSI Essential Requirements: Due Process Requirements for American National Standards provide 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. The following ANSI Accredited Standards

New (and First) Project Committee
PC 118 Smart Grid User Interface
The IEC National Committees have voted in favor of establishing its first Project Committee, PC
118 on Smart Grid User Interface and will pursue the following two parts of the standard.
Initial Scope
Smart Grid User Interface, Part 1: Standard of exchange interface between demand-side
smart equipment and the grid
This standard provides definition and description of interoperable interface between smart
grid and various demand-side equipment from the perspective of power grid, mainly including
smart building, smart home, distributed energy resources, EV, etc. It will establish a model for
information exchange between demand-side equipment and power grid by using object-
oriented modeling technology. It will also specify interaction modes, data format,
communication protocol, as well as security and protection, etc., which will not only meet the
demands of various applicable functions and future expansion, but also satisfy the
requirements of openness and interoperability.
and
Smart Grid User Interface, Part 3: Power Demand Response Standard
This standard defines and describes (1) a communication model for the interaction between
smart systems and power grid, covering smart home, smart building, electric vehicles,
distributed energy resources, etc.; (2) general function requirements of power demand
responses; (3) performance indexes of power demand response; and (4) security and
protection of power demand response.
For information: IEC TC 8 (System Aspects for Electrical Energy Supply) has been invited to
undertake an activity for Part 2: Domain Side Energy Source Interconnection with the Grid.
The U.S. National Committee has indicated its intent to become a Participating Member of this
PC. If the USNC is to become a P Member, a Technical Advisory Group (TAG) will have to be
established, a TAG Administrator assigned, and a Technical Advisor and TAG Secretary
appointed. If any entities are interested in these positions, they are invited to contact Tony
Zertuche, USNC Deputy General Secretary at [email protected].
Draft Proposed American National Standard for Information Systems, Data Format for the
Interchange of Fingerprint, Facial& Other Biometric Information, ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-201x,
completed a 45-day letter ballot on August 31, 2011. The four Negative votes have changed
their responses to Affirmative based upon the proposed resolution of their comments. The
substantive changes that resulted from resolution of the comments are:

1. Making the TOT field in Type-1 records optional (They can still be mandatory in profiles like
EBTS).

8.1.4 Field 1.004 Type of transaction / TOT
This optional field shall contain an identifier, which designates the type of transaction and
subsequent processing that this transaction should be given. This shall be a maximum of 16
alphabetic characters. The TOT shall be in accordance with definitions provided by the domain
or application profile.) Earlier versions of this standard specifically restricted the character length
of TOT to 4 characters and the field was mandatory. In order to maintain backward
compatibility for older parsers in Traditional encoding that expect the presence of the field, this
field shall be present and set to a value of None when transcoding from XML encoding to
Traditional encoding and the field is not present in the XML version. This requirement may be
overridden by an application profile of ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011.Note that implementation
domains and application profiles may specify this field as mandatory in any or all encodings.

2. Adding a new field 9.363 for EFS Relative rotation of corresponding print

8.9.7.50 Field 9.363: EFS relative rotation of corresponding print / RRC
This optional field may be used when two or more images contained in a single ANSI/NIST-ITL
transaction are compared. This field indicates the relative overall rotation necessary for the prints
to be compared. Each subfield consists of 2 information items. The number of subfields is
limited only by the number of Type-9 records in the transaction.
The first information item (rotation IDC reference / RIR) indicates the IDC for the Type-9
record associated with the target image/ Type-9 record for a given RRC. See Section 7.3.1. See
Field 9.360 or Field 9.362 for examples of other IDC references.)
The second information item (relative overall rotation / ROR) defines the integer number of
degrees that the target image and/or features referenced by RIR shall be rotated to correspond to
the data in this Type-9 record. Positive numbers indicate degrees counterclockwise; negative
numbers indicate degrees clockwise: ( -179 to 180 inclusive). The allowed special character is
the negative sign.

3. Allowing JPEG for 500 ppi in legacy systems ONLY (the standard had WSQ in ALL circumstances)

Wavelet Scalar Quantization (WSQ) shall be used for compressing grayscale friction ridge data
at 500 ppi class for new systems. In order to maintain backward compatibility, legacy systems
may use JPEGB or JPEGL for compressing 500 ppi class images.

4. Changing field specifying image characteristics in Record Types 14, 15, 17 & 19 to dependent,
since the image in field 999 may not be present.

The record layout tables for each record type were change to have a minimum occurrence of 0 instead of 1 and the
type changed from M (Mandatory) to D (Dependent). The text for the fields was changed to: This field is
mandatory if an image is present in Field xx.999. Otherwise it is absent.

5. Added statement that latent prints should not be compressed with any lossy algorithm.

Latent images shall not be compressed with any lossy compression algorithm. It is required that
images be stored uncompressed, or that PNG or other totally lossless compression algorithm be
used for latent images.

6. Field 9.323 EFS Center point of reference changed its bounds to allow for a center of the image
that is outside of the ROI.

The center point of reference is the sole EFS feature that can be located outside of the EFS
region of interest. For example, this allows the estimated center of the finger to be marked even
for an extreme side. The origin of CPR, like all other EFS features, is relative to the top left of
Field 9.300: EFS region of interest / ROI. Note that this means that the X and Y values for
CPR are the only EFS coordinates that may be negative, or greater than the ROI width or height.
The center point of reference must be within the bounds of the overall image itself. Thus the
allowed special character is the negative sign.

7. Field 9.332 was expanded to handle a new algorithm type: Quadrant
The minutiae used for ridge counts are the nearest neighbors in four quadrants,
defined by the image's vertical and horizontal axes. The quadrants, with the 1st
QUADRANT
quadrant at the upper right and the 2nd through 4th quadrants proceeding
counterclockwise. Ridge count values are set to the number of intervening ridges.

6.3 Mined minerals, water and salt
Mined minerals, water and salt shall be considered neutral in calculating the percent organic con-
tent. Therefore, they shall be excluded from the net weight or net volume.
When a standard of identity exists or there is an onsite scientific method used to measure moisture
removed from a plant, water, equal to the amount removed, may be added to that processed product
and be considered as part of the original plant. For instance, a concentrate that fulfills the organic
requirements of this Standard may be rehydrated to single strength or rehydrated to the same mois-
ture content it had when harvested or first tested; the added water shall be considered part of the or-
ganic content of that ingredient or product.
Added water shall be included in the organic content of an ingredient only under the following
circumstances:
Reconstituting juice concentrates to their USDA single strength standard of identity;
Reconstituting aloe concentrates to single strength based on Aloe Council com-

pliance and standards; and
Water content of extracts and hydrosols are specified in 6.4 of this Standard.
NOTE Water added to rehydrate dried powders or dried plant material is counted as added
water. Manufacturer-specific 'standards of identity' regarding water content, single strength
values, or moisture content are not acceptable.
A.4.4 Formulation evaluation
Formulation information for each ingredient used in the certified product should be provided to and
maintained on file by the certifying organization. At a minimum, the formulation information should
include:
the complete identity or proportion by weight of each ingredient; and
each ingredients sources of supply.

5.1 The test apparatus is to consist of the following:
a) Sharp-Edge Tester - The instrument consists essentially of a handle with a pivoted arm attached. A
constant-tension spring secured to the handle is used to apply a steady force to the arm. The arm head is
a piece of round cylindrical steel, with an outside diameter of 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) and a length of 3/4 inch
(19 mm), located at the end of the adjustable arm. The arm head is to be wrapped with three layers of
tape, the two outer layers act as sensing tapes; the inner layer acts as an indicating tape, or . Alternately,
the tapes are to be applied to a 5/8 inch (15.9 mm) removable sleeve or cap that is placed onto the 1/2
inch (12.7 mm) steel arm head. The sleeve or cap shall not exceed 5/8 inch (15.9 mm) in diameter. See
Figure 5.1 or 5.2.

1. Date Code Marking on Attachment Plug Blade for Insect and Rodent Control Equipment
PROPOSAL
70.1.19 For Insect and Rodent Control products employing a non-detachable supply cord or direct plug-in
means, the date of manufacture or date code may be die-stamp impressed, etched, or engraved on the blade of
attachment plug, provided that:
a) The recessed impression is no deeper than is needed for legibility;
b) The marking process does not emboss or raise the surface of the blade;
c) The specific dimensions of the blade, or configuration with respect to the plug face, are not altered
during the marking process;
d) The product is not rated for more than one voltage where a change in attachment plug
configuration is required in the field (see 70.1.9 and 73.8); and
e) The product shall not include instructions for removal, replacement or servicing of the supply cord
or attachment plug, nor for conversion of the plug for different voltages (see 73.2(a) and 73.8).
73.2 The instructions pertaining to a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, or the installation instructions
shall include those instructions in (a) - (e), as applicable. If the applicable instructions in (a) - (e) are included in
the installation instructions, a reference to these instructions shall be included in the list in 72.4 as a separate
item. The word "DANGER" shall be entirely in the upper case letters or emphasized to distinguish it from the rest
of the text.
a) For all grounded, cord-connected appliances:
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes
is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Exception: For products employing date code marking on power supply cord attachment plug blade in
accordance with 70.1.19, the instructions above shall be replaced with the following:
DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
b) For grounded, cord-connected appliances rated less than 15 A and intended for use on a nominal
120 V supply circuit:
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in sketch A in Figure 73.1. A temporary adaptor, which looks like the adaptor illustrated in
sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a
properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, and the like,
extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by the metal screw.
c) For grounded, cord-connected appliances other than as mentioned in (b):
This appliance is for use on a circuit having a nominal rating more than 120 V (or "This appliance is
rated more than 15 A and is for use on a circuit having a nominal rating of 120 V"), and is factory
equipped with a specific electric cord and plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance. If the
appliance must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be
made by qualified service personnel; and after the reconnection, the appliance should comply with all
local codes and ordinances.
d) For permanently-connected appliances:
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metal, permanent wiring system; or an equipment-
grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding
terminal or lead on the appliance.
e) For double-insulated, cord-connected appliances:
SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No

grounding means is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be
added to the appliance. Servicing of a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge
of the system, and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-
insulated appliance must be identical to those parts in the appliance. A double-insulated appliance is
marked with the words "DOUBLE INSULATION" or "DOUBLE INSULATED." The symbol (square within
a square)"
may also be marked on the appliance.
73.8 If the appliance employs an attachment plug, instructions shall be provided to indicate the type of plug that
should be used if the appliance is reconnected for the alternate voltage. See 70.1.9.
Exception: For products employing date code marking on power supply cord attachment plug blade (see
70.1.19), these instructions shall not be provided, and a dual-voltage motor (see 70.1.9) requiring plug change
in the field is not permitted.
2. Addition and Revision of Requirements for Battery Operated Products with Rechargeable and
Automatic Flashlights and Lanterns.
PROPOSAL
14.3 A thermoplastic material generally is not considered acceptable for the sole support of in direct contact with
uninsulated live parts, but may be employed if found to have the necessary mechanical strength and rigidity,
resistance to heat, resistance to flame propagation, dielectric voltage withstand, and other appropriate
properties. See 6.18.1. Suitability shall be determined by compliance with the requirements for direct contact
with live parts in the Standard for Polymeric Materials - Use in Electrical Equipment Evaluations, UL 746C. See
14.5 for battery operated live parts.
14.5 The suitability of polymeric materials in contact with or in close proximity to (within 1/32 in.) battery-
operated live parts shall be determined by compliance with the tests of 55A.1.
Exception: Where the battery pack does not present a risk of fire in accordance with the definition of "Risk of
Fire" (3.34) in the Standard for Polymeric Materials - Use in Electrical Equipment Evaluations, UL 746C or has
been evaluated as a Limited Power Source (LPS) per the Limited Power Source Test Section, Section 13, in the
Standard for Household and Commercial Batteries, UL 2054.
41.1.1 With respect to the Exception to 47.1.1, if the flashlight or lantern is intended to be operated while the
product is floor- or counter-supported, it shall not overturn when subjected to the test of 41.2 - 41.4.
47.1.1 A cord-connected appliance of the hand-supported type appliance shall not attain a temperature of more
than 125C (257F) on any exterior surface that may be laid on combustible material or against which
combustible material may be laid, and there shall be no emission of smoke or molten material.
Exception: For a flashlight or lantern, temperatures may exceed 125C (257F) on exterior surfaces in proximity
to the light source, if the product is marked per 70.10.2, includes the instructions per 74.5.2 and complies with
the tests of 41.1.1 and 55A.3 or 55A.4, as applicable.

For flashlights and lanterns, temperatures may exceed the limits specified in proximity to the light source, if the
product is marked per 70.10.1 and includes the instructions per 74.5.1.
55A Rechargeable and Automatic Flashlights and Lanterns
55A.1 With respect to 14.5, the product shall be subjected to the following abnormal conditions, as applicable, to
represent the worst case heating of the battery-operated live parts in contact with (or close proximity to) the
polymeric material without the emission of flame or molten metal or the reduction of electrical spacings resulting
in a risk of fire. The "on-off" switch shall be closed so that the circuit is energized. For a discrete, multiple (more
than two) terminal device, such as a transistor, SCR, triac, or an integrated circuit device, any combination of
terminals taken two at a time shall be opened or shorted.
a) Shorted Bulb Test - One sample shall be operated with the bulb shorted. The "on-off" switch shall
be closed so that the bulb circuit is energized.
b) Shorted Battery Terminal Test - One sample shall be operated with the battery terminals shorted.
c) Component Failure Test - Various individual components, such as resistors, capacitors, and solid-
state devices, shall be shorted and opened, one at a time.
55A.2 The tests of 55A.1 shall each be conducted with the sample resting on a softwood tissue covered
supporting surface and draped with one layer of cheesecloth. The tests shall be conducted with a fully charged
battery and operation shall continue until ultimate results, but not more than 7 h.
55A.3 With respect to the Exception to 47.1.1, if the light source is operable while the product is hand-held or
counter supported, there shall be no ignition of the supporting surface when the product is operated
continuously for 7 h while positioned as close to and directed towards the softwood supporting surface to the
greatest degree permitted and in a position representing the most severe condition by the unit construction. The
supporting surface shall be knot free softwood covered with a double layer of white tissue paper.
55A.4 With respect to the Exception to 47.1.1, for a direct plug-in flashlight or lantern, if the light source is
operable while the product is supported by the receptacle, there shall be no exposure of live parts or ignition of
the vertical softwood surface when the product is operated continuously for 7 h while positioned as close to and
directed towards a vertical softwood surface to the greatest degree permitted and in a position representing the
most severe condition by the unit construction. The vertical surface shall be knot free softwood covered with a
double layer of white tissue paper and positioned at 90 from the wall supporting the receptacle.
70.10 Rechargeable and automatic flashlights and lanterns
70.10.1 Products with surface temperatures near the light source exceeding the limits in Table 47.1 shall be
marked with the following or equivalent: "WARNING - Hot Surface: Risk of Burns - Do Not Touch."
70.10.2 Products with exterior temperatures near the light source exceeding the 125C (257F) per 47.1 .1 shall
be marked per 70.10.1 with the addition of the following statement or the equivalent: "Risk of Fire - Keep Away
From Combustible Materials."
74.5 Rechargeable and automatic flashlights and lanterns
74.5.1 Products with surface temperatures near the light source exceeding the limits in Table 47.1 shall be
provided with the following instructions or the equivalent, "WARNING - The lens gets very hot during use. To
reduce the risk of burns, do not touch hot lens."
Exception: For household products, the above wording shall be provided with the Important Safety Instructions
of 72.4 instead of in the Operating Instructions.
74.5.2 Products with exterior surface temperatures near the light source exceeding 125C (257F) per 4 7.1.1
shall be provided with the instructions per 74.5.1 with the addition of the following statement or the equivalent,
"To reduce the risk of fire, keep away from combustible materials while in operation."
