The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) publishes a weekly newsletter, Standards Action, which is now available on the World Wide Web. The newsletter solicits comments on proposed draft American National Standards, including revisions and withdrawals. Comments must be submitted in writing to the ANSI-accredited standards developer by the specified deadline. The current issue includes calls for comment on various standards proposals from organizations such as UL (Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.) and ASTM (ASTM International), with deadlines ranging from April 20, 2003, to May 5, 2003. The proposals cover a range of topics, including safety for power conversion equipment, validating recycled content in packaging paper, and test methods for determining air leakage through exterior windows.
