J U L Y 2 0 2 0 • M A T E R I A L S E V A L U A T I O N 813 American National Draft Standards Project Initiation ANSI procedures require notification by ANSI-accredited standards developers of the initiation and scope of activities expected to result in new or revised American National Standards. The following is a list of proposed actions and new standards that have been received recently from accredited standards developers. To view informa- tion about additional standards for which a project initiation notification has been submitted, and to search approved American National Standards, please visit nssn.org, which is a database of standards information. Note that this database is not exhaustive. l BSR/AWS D1.1/D1.1M-202x, Structural Welding Code – Steel. This is a revision of ANSI/AWS D1.1/D1.1M-2019. This code covers the welding requirements for any type of welded structure made from the commonly used carbon and low-alloy constructional steels. Clauses 1 through 11 constitute a body of rules for the regulation of welding in steel construction. There are eight normative and eleven informative annexes in this code. A commentary of the code is included with the document. l BSR/ICC 1205-202x, Standard for Off- Site Construction: Inspection and Regulatory Compliance. This is a new standard to address the inspection, approval, and regulatory compliance of off-site residential and commercial construction components and their assembly and completion at the final building site. This includes permitting, in-plant and on-site final inspections, third-party inspections, and the role of industrialized building departments, state modular programs, and the authority having jurisdiction. Off-site construction includes componentized, panelized, and modularized elements. This standard will not apply to HUD manufactured housing. l BSR N43.17-202x, Radiation Safety for Personnel Security Screening Systems Using X-ray or Gamma Radiation. This is a revision of ANSI N43.17-2009 (R2018) and applies to the manufacture and operation of security screening systems that use X-rays, gamma radiation, or both, in which individuals are intention- ally exposed to this ionizing radiation. Does not address neutron-based systems. The standard provides require- ments specific to the ionizing radiation safety aspects of both the design and operation of these systems. It does not include electrical safety guidelines or any other safety, performance, or use considerations outside of the realm of radiation safety. l BSR/ASME MUS-2-202x, Use of Crawler/ Ground Robotics for Inspection. This is a new standard. This document provides guidelines and requirements for the utilization of crawlers/ground robotics to safely and reliably perform inspections and examinations of fixed equipment including pressure vessels, tanks, piping systems, and other components considered part of critical infrastructure. Call for Comment on Proposals Listed The public comment period has passed for the following draft American National Standards, which are currently in review. l BSR/AWS D14.6/D14.6M-202x, Specification for Welding of Rotating Elements of Equipment. This is a revision of ANSI/AWS D14.6/D14.6M- 2012. This standard establishes material and workmanship standards for manufacturers, fabricators, repair organizations, purchasers, and owner/operators of rotating equipment that are fabricated or repaired by welding. Included are sections defining process qualifications, operator qualifi- cations, quality control, inspection requirements, and repair requirements. l BSR/AWS D14.9/D14.9M-202x, Specification for the Welding of Hydraulic Cylinders. This is a revision of ANSI/AWS D14.9/D14.9M-2012. This specification provides standards for the design and manufacture of pressure- containing welded joints and structural welded joints used in the manufacture of hydraulic cylinders. The manufac- turer’s responsibilities are presented as they relate to the welding practices that have been proven successful within the industry in the production of hydraulic cylinders. Included are sections defining welding procedure qualification, welder STANDARDS update The Standards Update department focuses on standards, codes, recommended practices, and other documents used by NDT professionals. This department reports every few months on new publications, draft work currently in process, and the status of standards development. This month’s installment focuses on current work in American National Standards and ISO Draft International Standards.
