The International Society of Automation (ISA) says that ANSI/ISA-100.11a-2011, "Wireless Systems for Industrial Automation: Process Control and Related Applications," has been unanimously approved by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) as an international standard.
Thinner cell phone casings and business card holders are just two of the applications for a new high fluidity zinc die casting alloy. This casting is covered by a new ASTM standard, ASTM B989, “Specification for High Fluidity (HF) Zinc-Aluminum Alloy in Ingot Form for Thin Wall Die Castings."
IEEE 802.3bj “Standard for Ethernet Amendment 2: Physical Layer Specifications and Management Parameters for 100 Gb/s Operation Over Backplanes and Copper Cables.”
ASTM B831 is amended to include a new appendix that was created to describe a novel shear test sample geometry and incorporation of digital image correlation for shear strain measurement.
Concrete technologists need to have a well-defined, useful and efficient means to detect and possibly address concrete material incompatibility issues. This need will be addressed in a proposed new ASTM International standard, ASTM WK40615, Practice for Mixing and Comparing Performance of Concrete
NEMA LSD 28 educates end users of high wattage HID lamps about lamp-bases and lampholders and recommends best practices for selection and maintenance. Related Resources: IHS Standards Store
NEMA LSD 64 defines terminology related to controls for lighting systems for non-residential and residential applications. The goal of LSD 64 is for NEMA definitions to ultimately be used as the definitive reference for codes, standards, and legislation. This will eliminate the creation of new

- API STD 650Revision / Edition: 12This standard establishes minimum requirements for material, design, fabrication, erection and inspection for vertical, cylindrical, above ground, closed- and open-top, welded storage tanks in various sizes and capacities for internal pressures approximating atmospheric pressure (internal pressures not exceeding the weight of the roof plates), but a higher internal pressure is permitted when additional requirements are met (see 1.1.13). This standard applies only to tanks whose entire bottom is uniformly supported and to tanks in non-refrigerated service that have a maximum design temperature of 93 °C (200 °F) or less (see 1.1.20).
- ASME B31.1Revision / Edition: 14August 15, 2014Rules for this Code Section have been developed considering the needs for applications that include piping typically found in electric power generating stations, in industrial and institutional plants, geothermal heating systems and central and district heating and cooling systems. This Code prescribes requirements for the design, materials, fabrication, erection, test, inspection, operation and maintenance of piping systems.
- ASTM A370Revision / Edition: 14May 15, 2014These test methods cover procedures and definitions for the mechanical testing of steels, stainless steels and related alloys. The various mechanical tests described are used to determine properties required in the product specifications.
Measurable Value of Standards Management:
The men and women who develop industry standards invest knowledge, experience and expertise into every standard that is introduced, updated or retired. Engineers need to track and use correct versions of a standard in order to do their jobs effectively. They also need to identify any required referenced standards within a given standard. When considering product builds, having all the necessary documentation for every aspect of the project not only ensures quality, but it also can lead to a competitive edge.
