Background of Standards
• ASHRAE has been writing standards since 1922
• ASHRAE has over 200 active standard or guideline projects
• Standards are written by volunteers and go through the ANSI consensus process
• Standards are reviewed and republished to ensure they are up-to-date, e.g., existing code-intended standards are on a three year review cycle
• ASHRAE has been writing standards since 1922
• ASHRAE has over 200 active standard or guideline projects
• Standards are written by volunteers and go through the ANSI consensus process
• Standards are reviewed and republished to ensure they are up-to-date, e.g., existing code-intended standards are on a three year review cycle

What is a Standard?
• Standards are written to establish consensus for:– Methods of test for use in commerce– Performance criteria for use by facilitators with which to
guide the industry – Definition of minimum values
• ASHRAE publishes three types of voluntary consensus standards– Method of test and classification– Design standards– Protocol standards
• Standards are written in definitive mandatory language

Standards Development
• ASHRAE is one of six standards-writing organizations accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as an Audited Designator
• The consensus process ensures standards are developed independent of special interests
• Volunteer committees bring together a balanced group of technical experts, professionals, government officials and business representatives
