ments for the design, fabrication, installation,
inspection, and documentation of these rigging
points for their use to support rigging loads.

Connectors, Contacts, and Sockets. This is a
revision and redesignation of ANSI/EIA 364-46C-
2012 (R2019). This procedure is to define a
method of detecting a discontinuity of one
microsecond or longer in a mated electrical
connector, contact, or socket. This procedure
shall not be used for durations less than one
microsecond see EIA-364-87, Test Procedure for
Nanosecond Event Detection.
Ñ BSR/ICC 1150-202x, Standard for 3D
Automated Construction Technology for 3D
Concrete Walls. As an ANSI-accredited SDO,
ICC is developing a new standard to establish
minimum requirements for the evaluation of
structural performance of 3D concrete walls and
proprietary concrete wall-to-floor connections
designed in accordance with applicable building
codes, including material and durability proper-
ties of proprietary 3D concrete.
Ñ BSR/NFPA 91-202x, Standard for Exhaust
Systems for Air Conveying of Vapors, Gases,
Mists, and Particulate Solids. This revision of
ANSI/NFPA 91-2020 provides minimum require-
ments for the design, construction, installation,
operation, testing, and maintenance of exhaust
systems for air conveying of vapors, gases, mists,
and particulate solids as they relate to fire and/
or explosion prevention, except as modified or
amplified by other applicable NFPA standards.
This standard does not cover exhaust systems
for conveying combustible particulate solids that
are covered in other NFPA standards.
