Public Review Documents
ANSI procedures require that
a standard be submitted to public review so that all parties affected have
an opportunity to participate in its development. This ensures the standard
reflects the consensus of opinion in the industry. A document is offered
for public review for a limited period of time after which it is withdrawn
for comment resolution and revision. If substantive changes are made to
the document it will be offered for a subsequent public review. If
no substantive changes are made and the working group is satisfied with
the document, the standard will be put forth for acceptance as an American
National Standard.
Each public review packet includes the draft document and a response
form. There may also be an explanatory document that gives the purpose
or background
of the document, but this is optional. Please submit comments by the
due date noted on the response form.
The draft documents are produced by members of the working groups in the Technical Standards Program. Membership in the working groups is open to all who are affected by the work of the group; membership in ESTA or any other association is not a requirement. Voting members are required to attend meetings, but observer members are not, although they are welcome to attend and to speak on issues if they choose. More information about working groups and an application to join are available under the working groups link.
Below is a list of documents currently under public review. To participate
in the review of these documents, please download the necessary forms and documents by
using the links provided below. Comments must be received before the start of the day listed in the Review End Date column; the review is over when that day starts.
