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 innew or revised American National Standards (ANS). Early notification of activity intended to reaffirm or withdraw an ANS and in some instances a PINSrelated 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 Actionentitled "American National Standards Maintained Under Continuous Maintenance" for additional or comparable information with regard to standardsmaintained under the continuous maintenance option. To view information about additional standards for which a PINS has been submitted and to searchapproved 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 developerdirectly within 30 days of the publication of this announcement.

American National StandardsMaintained Under ContinuousMaintenanceThe ANSI Essential Requirements: Due Process Requirements forAmerican National Standards provide two options for the maintenanceof American National Standards (ANS): periodic maintenance (seeclause 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 standardsdeveloper. A documented program for periodic publication ofrevisions shall be established by the standards developer.Processing of these revisions shall be in accordance with theseprocedures. The published standard shall include a clear statementof the intent to consider requests for change and information on thesubmittal of such requests. Procedures shall be established fortimely, documented consensus action on each request for changeand no portion of the standard shall be excluded from the revisionprocess. In the event that no revisions are issued for a period of fouryears, action to reaffirm or withdraw the standard shall be taken inaccordance with the procedures contained in the ANSI EssentialRequirements.The Executive Standards Council (ExSC) has determined that forstandards maintained under the Continuous Maintenance option,separate PINS announcements are not required. The following ANSIAccredited Standards Developers have formally registeredstandards under the Continuous Maintenance option.

- AAMI- AAMVA- AGA- AGRSS, Inc.- ASC X9- ASHRAE- ASME- ASTM- GEIA- HL7- MHI (ASC MH10)- NBBPVI- NCPDP- NISO- NSF- TIA- Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL)

International Organization for Standardization (ISO) ISO Proposal for a New Field of ISO Technical Activity Mechatronics Comment Deadline: September 18, 2009 AFNOR (France) has submitted to ISO a proposal for a new field of ISO technical activity on the subject of Mechatronics, with the following scope statement:

Standardization in the field of mechatronics, which is an approach aiming at the synergistic integration of mechanics, electronics, control theory, and computer science within product design and manufacturing, in order, in particular, to improve and/or optimize the functionality of mechanical products. The word "mechatronics" was invented in 1969 by Mr. Tetsuro Mori, executive officer of the Japanese company Yaskawa Electric Corporation, a manufacturer of automation systems and components. The word "mechatronics" was built by the combination of "mecha" from "mechanism" and "tronics" from electronics. The word was first registered as a trademark. Due to its large use worldwide, Yaskawa gave up its rights in 1982.

This proposal has been sent to the members of the ANSI International Committee (AIC). Anyone wishing to review the new work item can request a copy of the proposal by contacting Henrietta Scully, ANSI, via e-mail at [email protected] by September 18th, with submission of comments to Steven Cornish, ANSI, [email protected], by September 25, 2009.

Invitation to ISO Workshop AFNOR (France) Following approval by the Technical Management Board of a proposal from AFNOR (France) regarding the classification of glass clarity, AFNOR has invited all ISO member bodies to participate in the first ISO Workshop meeting October 15-16th, 2009 in Paris, France. Those interested in more information and/or participating should contact Rachel Howenstine, ANSI, ([email protected]).

U.S. National Committee of the IEC U.S. Proposal for Initiation of International Standard IEC TC 110 – Flat Panel Display Devices The following proposal for the initiation of an international Standard has been submitted to the International Electrotechnical Commission:

IEC TC 110 Flat Panel Display Devices Title:

Mechanical Testing Guidelines for Display Cover Glass for Mobile Devices

Scope: This document is a mechanical performance testing guideline for cover glass for used for electronic displays in LCD mobile devices. Typically, glass used for cover glasses for electronic mobile devices is chemically strengthened by an ion exchange process. This ion exchange process increases the mechanical strength of the glass. This document is focused on key mechanical testing performance parameters. This document covers mainly strength and damage-resistance attributes.
