... a mechanism for allowing new experimental data and improvements in evaluation procedures to be incorporated into new evaluations of the standards. The work on this project is ongoing. In the past very long periods sometimes occurred between evaluations of the standards. Through the use of this Project...

...Mindy Costello This standard development began with a partnership between members of the roofing industry and NSF International to facilitate the thorough communication of information that is verifiable and accurate about the environmental and social impacts associated with the production and use...

...Stanley A. Mruk The activities and the policies issued by the Hydrostatic Stress Board (HSB) of the Plastics Pipe Institute have significantly enhanced the reliability of pressure rated thermoplastics pipe and the quality of ASTM, American Water Works Association, and other standards that cover...

...M. O. McLinden; T. J. Bruno; M. Frenkel; M. L. Huber The thermophysical properties of biofuels are required for the efficient design of their chemical processing, distribution, and utilization. We provide a review of biofuel properties research at the National Institute of Standards and Technology...

...: warnings and instructions, warning habituation, safety, testing and certi cation, standards The Necessity of Warning: The Requirement and the Pitfalls It is certainly open and obvious to any casual observer of professional hockey that ice hockey involves the risk of serious personal injuries...

...William E. Kelly The ABET Engineering Criteria require a capstone design project where students use “appropriate engineering standards.” One of the ABET design constraints that students must consider is “sustainability.” The new United States Standards Strategy has as one of its goals to “establish...

... Standards have been prepared for the test and classification of “Glass in building—Explosion resistant security glazing.” These incorporate three test regimes. One standard employs a shock tube method to simulate the blast from large vehicle bombs. The other standard involves two categories of arena tests...

...), there are inconsistencies in execution among accredited laboratories. As a result, there are significant opportunities for development of standard methods that could improve consistency. The current availabilities and needs for standard methods are further discussed in a companion paper. References About Beryllium...

..., this paper gives an overview of standardized methods for sampling and analysis of beryllium in the workplace. A number of published methods is currently available to the industrial hygiene and analytical community, but shortfalls in the use of standardized practices require attention. Also, questions remain...

...EA McCullough; J Huang; CS Kim There are several standards that require the use of a hot plate apparatus for measuring the dry thermal resistance (insulation) and the evaporative resistance of fabrics: ASTM D 1518, ASTM F 1868, and ISO 11092. In addition, several National Fire Protection...
