Editor's Notes
- Project manager and STP chair are considered non-voting (point out Joe) UL Technical Representative/Primary Designated Engineer (PDE) is a testing & standards member -Represents UL as the technical expert -Same role as any other STP member
- 54 voting members – 19 of the voting members are Canadian We welcome any new members in any category except for Producers as the STP is producer heavy The STP is 1/3 balanced
- Participation is important as we need consensus for ballots to pass for ANSI and SCC requirements -consensus is achieved if there is approval by at least two-thirds of those members voting who have submitted a vote, excluding abstentions, negatives without comment, and negatives based on material not under consideration and a majority of the STP have returned a ballot. Please keep comments germane to the proposal – they will not be considered This STP has several working groups. If we did not have STP members willing to lead them and/or help develop the proposals, we would not have gotten very far with our current work.
- This discussion to provide everyone with an overview of what is on our plate and where we are going.
- 1175 – went to preliminary review in 2017. The comment were reviewed and considered. A new proposal was submitted and finalized by TG. It went to a second prelim in March 2019. The ballot is anticipated to open in June for a 45 day ballot period. 1191 – was balloted in June 2018 and recirculated in November 2018. It is expected to be published at the end of May 1191 – a new proposal was submitted to the standard. It will be reviewed at the upcoming STP meeting. We anticipate it moving to ballot in June 12402-5 – proposal was balloted in October 2017, recirculated in May 2018 and again in October 2018. The standard maintained consensus and is expected be published by the end of May 12402-9 – proposal was balloted in June 2018. After the recent comment resolution, the recirculation ballot is set to open on May 24.
- 9595 – went to preliminary review in 2015. The task group was reactivated in 2018 to review those comments. A second prelim opened on May 1 12402-4 – standard was balloted in June 2018. Standard was recirculated in March 2019 and will probably need a 2nd recirculation based on the comments received. If so, it will be in June 2019 15027-2 – proposal was balloted in June 2018 and will be recirculated in June 2019 15027-3 – proposal was balloted in June 2018 and will be recirculated in June 2019
