Draft Standards & Task Group Projects

Meeting Schedule & Minutes

Draft American National Standards
  • BSR E1.32, Recommended Practice for the Inspection of Entertainment Industry Luminaires
    This document provides guidance in the inspection of stage and studio luminaires used in the entertainment industry. The information contained in this document is intended to supplement, not replace the information contained in manufacturers' maintenance instructions. The standard will promote the proper maintenance and safe use of stage and studio luminaires.

  • BSR E1.19 - 200x Recommended Practice for the use of Class A Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) intended for personnel protection in the Entertainment Industry
    The standard recommends practices for the safe use of 100 amp or lower, 120-240 VAC, single or three-phase, 60 Hz Class A Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) for personnel protection in film and video productions, theatrical productions, carnivals, circuses, fairs and similar events in North America. GFCIs are useful for protecting performers and technicians from shock when electrical equipment is used near or in water, but using them successfully is difficult in entertainment industry applications due to the nature of the loads that are driven, the prevalence of dimmed circuits, and the long load-circuit runs. BSR E1.19 gives advice to help people use
    GFCIs successfully to protect performers and technicians from shock in wet and damp locations.

  • BSR E1.19, Entertainment Technology - Recommendations for the use of ground fault devices in the entertainment industry
    The standard is intended to offer guidance on how to select, install, use and maintain ground fault protection devices in the entertainment industry. The project is intended to promote the use of these devices to protect people and property from hazards associated with using electrical equipment in wet locations, such as when pools of water are used on stage or a location video-shoot is conducted in the rain, and to promote reliability and avoid nuisance tripping.

  • BSR E1.18-1 - 200x, Standard for Selection, Installation and Use of Single-conductor Portable Power Feeder Cable Systems for Use at Less then 601 Volts Nominal for the Distribution of Electrical Energy in the Entertainment and Live-Event Industries
    The standard is is part of a larger E1.18 project to offer guidance on portable power feeder cable systems. There is very little published at this time on how to set up power feeder cable systems, such as are used to power the lighting and sound systems at concerts in sporting arenas. The E1.18 project is to address that lack of guidance to help people set up and use safe systems. This part, E1.18-1, contains the majority of the recommendations, suitable for most common portable power distribution installations.

  • BSR E1.18, Entertainment Technology - Recommended practice for the selection, installation, use, and maintenance of single-conductor portable power feeder cable in the entertainment industry
    The standard is intended to offer guidance on how to select, install, use and maintain single-conductor portable power feeder cables. The project will promote safety and compatibility in the equipment and practices used in live performance and in film and video production in North America.
