New Standard

BSR/UL 2278-202x, Standard for Safety for Megawatt Charging Configured Electric Vehicle Couplers (new standard)

Stakeholders: This standard will apply to a large cross section of groups and individuals. These specific individuals would include: producers, supply chain, trade associations, commercial/industrial users, regulators, and government.

Project Need: ULSE is seeking ANSI approval on a new joint standard for the US and Canada, UL 2278. There are currently no consensus standards published in the US and Canada for Megawatt Charging Configured Electric Vehicle Couplers. This proposed joint standard for the US and Canada, UL 2278, is needed to cover the new configuration of coupler which operates at a higher voltage and current than any previously certified coupler and presents new and increased potential hazards that must be addressed by requirements that are significantly modified compared to what exists today.

Interest Categories: AHJ, Producer, Testing & Standards Organization, General, Supply Chain, and Government

This first issue of the Standard for Safety for Megawatt Charging Configured Electric Vehicle Couplers, UL 2278, is intended to be a joint standard for the US and Canada. These requirements cover vehicle connectors and vehicle inlets designated as, and configured as, megawatt charging couplers. These devices are rated up to 1500 Vdc, 3000A under conditions of continuous use. Vehicle connectors may be actively cooled, such as with liquid cooling, when operating. These devices are intended for use with conductive DC charging equipment for electric vehicles and intended to facilitate conductive connection from the charging equipment to the vehicle. These devices are for use in either indoor or outdoor, non-classified locations in accordance with National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70. This standard does not cover devices used for conductive connection to an electric vehicle and consisting of configurations other than megawatt charging systems configurations. Those devices are covered by the Standard for Plugs,

Receptacles and Couplers for Electric Vehicles, UL 2251.

Addenda

BSR/ASHRAE Addendum t to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15-202x, Safety Standard for Refrigeration Systems

(addenda to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15-2022)

The original impetus for this proposed addendum was to address changes for applications of cooling equipment specific to information technology equipment (ITE) and data center installations. The mitigation principles (refrigerant charge size restrictions, refrigerant detection, air circulation, and product listing) are the same as other applications using flammable refrigerants. One significant difference in ITE applications, due to the sensitive nature of electronic equipment to cleanliness, is that emergency ventilation using outside air is typically not an acceptable mitigation strategy. The proposed addendum allows use of air from other spaces within the building.

Project Need: There is a need for a standard to address Distributed Energy Resource (DER) systems which are becoming increasingly complex and now include numerous mandatory grid support functions that control active or reactive power/currents. In addition, new utility interconnection requirements are being established in California and Hawaii that limit the allowable steady-state power/currents that can be imported or exported from the Point of Common Coupling (PCC). The electrification of the transportation sector will place significant new demands on the utility grid increasing the importance of DER and load management in the safe, reliable, and cost-effective operation of the grid. An additional key issue addressed by this standard is the need for an increased level of functional reliability of DER and load management to prevent overloading of busbars and conductors on the premises wiring as well as utility owned assets serving the facility.

Interest Categories: AHJ, Commercial/Industrial Users, General Interest, Producers, Supply Chain, Government, and Testing & Standards

This first issue of the Standard for Power Control Systems, UL 3141, is intended to be a joint standard for the US and Canada These requirements cover Power Control Systems (PCS) used in Distributed Energy Resource (DER) systems which include one or more power sources in addition to the primary power source, typically the utility grid. The requirements in this standard are intended to evaluate PCS that electronically control power or current flow within power distribution equipment, or within conductors at an external location, via use of external measurement and control device(s). The products covered by these requirements are intended to be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, and with the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I Safety Standard for Electrical engineering Installations, CSA C22.1

Project Need: RFID technologies are rapidly emerging as the means of tracking products and assets. Standards are

being developed to address these needs. Sensors can provide information about the condition of the products. And

there is a great need to provide sensor data as part of the supply chain reporting. However, openly defined standard

interfaces between sensors and RFID tags still need to be improved. Since the IEEE 1451 suite of smart transducer

interfaces for sensors and actuators are recognized sensor interface standards in the industry, this project can fill that

gap by providing such sensor-to-RFID tag interfaces to meet industry needs.

Interest Categories: A subset of the interest categories on this list is expected to comprise the consensus body:

https://ieee.box.com/v/Interest-Categories

BSR C37.54-2024A, Standard for Alternating Current High-Voltage Circuit Breakers Applied in Metal-Enclosed

Switchgear - Conformance Test Procedures (revision of ANSI C37.54-2023)

When conformance tests are required, this standard specifies tests to demonstrate that the circuit breaker being

tested conforms with the requirements and ratings defined in accordance with ANSI/IEEE C37.04. The preferred

ratings listed are designated values but are not to be considered restrictive; however, the requirements given are

restrictive. Conformance testing may be performed in conjunction with the basic design testing, if agreeable to

those concerned; however, conformance testing is more likely to be performed to satisfy a special need,

sometime after original development. As a requirement of conformance testing, the circuit breaker shall have

completed the design testing requirements of ANSI/IEEE C37.09. If ANSI/IEEE C37.09 tests have not been

previously performed, the tests required by ANSI/IEEE C37.09 beyond tests described by this standard may be

performed concurrently with conformance testing..

Revision

BSR/NFPA 76-202x, Standard for the Fire Protection of Telecommunications Facilities (revision of ANSI/NFPA 76-2020)

This standard provides requirements for fire protection of telecommunications facilities where telecommunications services such as telephone (landline, wireless)

transmission, data transmission, internet transmission, voice-over internet protocol (VoIP) transmission, and video transmission are rendered to the public.

It is not intended that this standard apply to private telecommunications facilities. Private telecommunications facilities include rooms specifically used for a business to deliver telecommunications to its employees,

containing telecommunication for employees of a company. However, private telecommunications facilities do notinclude facilities that are owned by non-utility businesses that provide telecommunications services to the public,

including, but not limited to, large medical facilities, universities, large corporate  telecommunications networks, military bases, and private prisons. Telecommunications facilities are referred to as telephone exchanges in NFPA

101 and NFPA 5000. The 2012 edition of NFPA 101 classifies telephone exchanges as special-purpose industrial occupancies, and the 2012 edition of NFPA 5000 classifies telephone exchanges as industrial occupancies.

Telecommunications facilities include signal processing equipment areas, cable entrance facility areas, power areas, main distribution frame areas, standby engine areas, technical support areas, administrative areas,

and building services and support areas occupied by a telecommunications service provider. This standard shall…

Revision

BSR/NFPA 87-202x, Standard for Fluid Heaters (revision of ANSI/NFPA 87-2021)

Explosions and fires in fuel-fired and electric fluid heaters constitute a loss potential in life, property, and

production. This recommended practice is a compilation of guidelines, rules, and methods applicable to the safe

operation of this type of equipment. Conditions and regulations that are not covered in this standard — such as

toxic vapors, hazardous materials, noise levels, heat stress, and local, state, and federal regulations (EPA and

OSHA) — should be considered in the design and operation of fluid heaters. Most causes of failures can be traced

to human error. The most significant failures include inadequate training of operators, lack of proper

maintenance, and improper application of equipment. Users and designers must utilize engineering skill to bring

together that proper combination of controls and training necessary for the safe operation of equipment. This

recommended practice classifies fluid heaters as Class F fluid heaters. Class F fluid heaters operate at

approximately atmospheric pressure and present a potential explosion or fire hazard that could be occasioned by

the overheating and/or release of flammable or combustible fluids from the tubing that carries them through the

heating chamber. Class F fluid heaters operate with a relatively constant flow of…

Addenda

BSR/SERI R2v3 (3.1)-202x, The Sustainable Electronics Reuse & Recycling Standard (addenda to ANSI/SERI R2-V3-2020)

With the rapidly increasing adoption of solar power globally, the quantity of photovoltaic (PV) modules is

increasing at a significant rate. Once this PV equipment reaches the end of its first use, sustainable solutions for

it’s safe and environmentally sound reuse and recycling are required. The review and revision of the R2 Standard

to include PV equipment has been completed and an addenda to the R2 Standard (Appendix G -Photovoltaic (PV)

Modules), will ensure that R2 facilities that handle PV modules identify some of the key risks associated with

processing this equipment; and R2 facilities are enabled to demonstrate their operations meet the defined R2

sustainable practices for processing PV modules; and provide generators of PV equipment insight into how it is

safely and sustainably managed. After a first round of public comments, the R2 Consensus Body made

substantial changes to the definitions and Appendix G, so a second round of public comments based on the

changes made will be initiated. The definitions and Appendix G will be available for public comment through

 our website for 45 days after publication in Standards Action,

and also be announced in SERI’s October R2 Facility Newsletter, and on SERI's social media on 10/6/23.

Using the Vapor Compression Cycle (new standard)

Stakeholders: Groups and individuals known to be, or who have indicated that they are, directly and materially

affected by the standard, including manufacturers, testers, regulators and trade or professional organizations.

Project Need: The industry is moving toward new system designs to enhance efficiency and flexibility. To support the

market, the standard must include tolerances for variable flow and update standard rating conditions. Part-load

metrics also must be updated to reflect regional climate considerations. Increased interest in using vapor compression

chillers for heating drives a review of heating conditions and metrics, as well as review of scope for alignment with

related standards. The standard also needs to continue ongoing efforts to harmonize with ASHRAE Standard 30 as the

referenced method of test.

Interest Categories: Component Manufacturer, General Interest, Product Manufacturer, Testing Laboratory

AHRI Standard 1550 will supersede AHRI Standards 550/590-2023 and 551/591-2023. It has been assigned a new

standard number due to the number and magnitude of changes proposed so the distinction between the standards is

clear to the industry. The purpose of this standard is to establish for liquid-chilling and heat pump liquid-heating

packages using the vapor compression cycle: definitions; test requirements; rating requirements; minimum data

requirements for published ratings; marking and nameplate data; conversions and calculations; nomenclature; and

conformance conditions.

62282-2-100:2020, MOD) (national adoption of IEC 62282-2-100 with modifications and revision of ANSI/CSA FC 6-2018)

Stakeholders: Consumers, manufacturers, regulators, and users.

Project Need: The development of this standard will support the safe deployment and the use of product which

utilize fuel cell and water electrolysis modules. This conformity assessment standard will be updated to include

technology advancement since the previous edition, CSA/ANSI FC 6. It will meet the strategic needs of the following

key interests: a) ensuring that the latest innovative/technology/safety features are available for users, b) addressing

needs of regulators by providing suitable requirements; and c) supporting certification bodies.

Interest Categories: Consumers, manufacturers, regulators, and users.

This part of IEC 62282 provides safety related requirements for construction, operation under normal and abnormal

conditions and the testing of fuel cell and water electrolysis modules. It applies to fuel cell and water electrolysis

modules with the following electrolyte chemistry: alkaline; polymer electrolyte (including direct methanol fuel cells);

phosphoric acid; molten carbonate; solid oxide; aqueous solution of salts. Fuel cell and water electrolysis modules

modules can be provided with or without an enclosure and can be operated at significant pressurization levels or

close to ambient pressure. This document deals with conditions that can yield hazards to persons and cause damage

outside the fuel cell and water electrolysis modules. Protection against damage inside the fuel cell and water

electrolysis modules are not addressed in this document, provided it does not lead to hazards outside the module.

These requirements can be superseded by other standards for equipment containing fuel cell modules or water

electrolysis modules as required for particular applications. This document does not cover fuel cell road vehicle

applications. The fuel cell modules and water electrolysis modules are components of final products. These products

require evaluation according to appropriate end-product safety requirements

BSR/ASHRAE/ICC/IES/USGBC Addendum ba to BSR/ASHRAE/ICC/IES/USGBC Standard 189.1-202x, Standard

for the Design of High-Performance Green Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings (addenda to

ANSI/ASHRAE/ICC/IES/USGBC Standard 189.1-2020)

This Addendum revises the definition of potable water to match the definition in the International Plumbing Code.

The change will avoid confusion by excluding natural freshwater sources that are not considered “potable” under

most common definitions. These changes are not expected to add cost to the standard.

BSR/NFPA 4-202x, Standard for Integrated Fire Protection and Life Safety System Testing (revision of ANSI/NFPA 4-2021)

The standard shall provide the minimum requirements for testing of integrated fire protection and life safety

systems where such testing is required by the design documents, commissioning plan, governing laws, codes,

regulations, or standards. A. These requirements include protocol for testing procedures, responsibilities of

various parties, methods and documentation for verifying the operational readiness and sequence of integrated

systems. The standard is designed to ensure that interconnected active and passive fire protection and life safety

systems operate as intended. It is not the intent of this standard to require implementation of emergency

response procedures, evacuation drills, or other exercises that require facility staff or fire department response.

However, when integrated systems tests are being conducted, it can be an appropriate opportunity to practice

emergency procedures or drills. This standard does not prohibit the owner of the property, building, or individual

system or the owner’s designated representative from requiring integrated system testing by design or contract

documents. For some buildings, the integrated system testing requirements of NFPA 4 can be considered

satisfied by performing the acceptance tests and the inspection, testing, and maintenance required by the NFPA

standards for the systems in a building.
