In the Final Actions section of the February 29, 2008 issue ofStandards Action, the action taken on ANSI/NCPDP SC V10.3-2008should have read “(revision and redesignation of ANSI/NCPDP SCV10.2-2007)”.


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 Action entitled"American National Standards Maintained Under Continuous Maintenance" for additional or comparable information with regard to standards maintainedunder the continuous maintenance option. To view information about additional standards for which a PINS has been submitted and to search approvedANS, 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 developer directlywithin 30 days of the publication of this announcement.

Toy Safety Coordination Initiative Review Period: February 22 – March 24, 2008

The U.S. Toy Industry Association (TIA), in conjunction with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), has announced the availability of a proposed new safety assurance program for toys for public review and comment. Developed in response to toy safety concerns raised during the summer of 2007, the proposed new program prescribes procedures and provides audit mechanisms for design hazard analysis, auditing manufacturing process controls, and product safety testing. The initiative was launched immediately following an August 28, 2007, vote by the TIA Board of Directors to endorse a three-point plan that would reinforce toy testing and inspection systems. TIA commissioned ANSI, coordinator of U.S. voluntary consensus standards and conformity assessment activities, to chair the initiative. Toy manufacturers and retailers, safety experts, consumer advocates, and government authorities have been involved in the program’s development.

At its February 16, 2008 meeting in conjunction with its annual Toy Fair in New York City, the Toy Industry Association (TIA) Board of Directors unanimously endorsed the general direction of a proposal for a new toy testing and safety verification system for toys sold in the U.S. market.

The review period will extend from February 22 to March 24, 2008. Following the public comment period, a final proposal will be presented to the TIA Board for final adoption and implementation. At that time, a timetable for putting the program in action will also be provided.

The draft program and accompanying public comment reply form are available for download from the ANSI website at www.ansi.org/publicreview.


ISO and IEC Draft International StandardsThis section lists proposed standards that the InternationalOrganization for Standardization (ISO) and the InternationalElectrotechnical Commission (IEC) are considering for approval. Theproposals have received substantial support within the technicalcommittees or subcommittees that developed them and are now beingcirculated to ISO and IEC members for comment and vote. StandardsAction readers interested in reviewing and commenting on thesedocuments should order copies from ANSI.

Comments

Comments regarding ISO documents should be sent to HenriettaScully at ANSI's New York offices, those regarding IEC documents toCharles T. Zegers, also at ANSI New York offices. The final date foroffering comments is listed after each draft.

Proposed Foreign Government Regulations

Call for Comment

U.S. manufacturers, exporters, regulatory agencies and standards developing organizations may be interested in proposed foreign technical regulations issued by Member countries of the World Trade Organization (WTO). In accordance with the WTO Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT Agreement), Members are required to report proposed technical regulations that may significantly affect trade to the WTO Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland. In turn, the Secretariat disseminates the information to all WTO Members. The purpose of this requirement is to provide global trading partners with an opportunity to review and comment on the regulations before they become final.

The National Center for Standards and Certification Information (NCSCI) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology

(NIST), distributes these proposed foreign technical regulations to U.S. stakeholders via an online service, Notify U.S. Notify U.S. is an e-mail and Web service that allows interested U.S. parties to register, obtain notifications, and read full texts of regulations from countries and for industry sectors of interest to them. To register for Notify U.S., please go to Internet URL: http://www.nist.gov/notifyus/ and click on “Subscribe”.

NCSCI is the WTO TBT Inquiry Point for the U.S. and receives all notifications and full texts of regulations to disseminate to U.S. Industry. For further information, please contact: NCSCI, NIST, 100 Bureau Drive, Gaithersburg, MD 20899-2160; Telephone: (301) 975-4040; Fax: (301) 926-1559; E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected].
