2002 - September - 10


 

The Standards Coordinator, Mohindar Sachdev, met with the Chairs of the Working Groups writing and revising standards documents on September 10, 2002 in Heritage A Room, The Sawgrass Marriott Resort and Beach Club, Ponte Vedra, FL.

The status of PARs, Standards and Guides, were reviewed at the meeting. The coordinator gave a brief presentation of the procedure for developing standards.

The status of the PARs is summarized in this report. The actions to be taken for keeping up-to-date the approval of the PARs and for keeping live the Standards and Guides are identified. A summary of the specific approvals received since the May 2002 meeting of the PSRC are identified as well.

Information concerning the Standards Association (SA), Board of Governors, Committees of SA, the Development of standards, Recommended Practices and Guides and related issues is available on the following web site.

The new policy in developing standards requires the implementation of the following metric policy.

Proposed new standards and revised standards submitted for approval shall use metric units exclusively in the normative portions of the standard. Inch-pound data may be included, if necessary, in footnotes or annexes that are informative only.

Standards Coordination Effort
PARs applied for by the Committees of the Power Engineering Society (PES) are being circulated among the Standards Coordinators of the PES Committees.
 
The number of each PAR and its title is posted on the PSRC Web site at the following address.

http://www.pes-psrc.org/Astandards.html

The copy of the PAR can be viewed by clicking at the PAR number in the list. All members of the PSRC are requested to review the newly approved PARs. If interested in the development work planned in a PAR, contact the Chair of the Working Group that is developing the document of interest to you and sign up for participating in the activity of that Working Group.
