As we explain in our ABOUT, we are continuing the development of the cadre of “code writers and vote-getters” begun at the University of Michigan in 1993. We are now drilling down into state and local adaptations of nationally developed codes and standards that are incorporated by reference into public safety and sustainability legislation.
This post is a “test pancake” for generating discussion, and for developing a way forward for crafting state exceptions to nationally developed codes and standards. Every state will have to be managed according to its history, culture, governance regime, asset-base and network of expertise.
Standards Michigan will remain the “free” home site but state-specific sites such as Standards Hawaii will be accessible to user-interest code-writers and vote-getters. Please send bella@standardsmichigan.com a request to join one of our mailing lists appropriate to your interest for #SmartCampus standards action in the State of Hawaii.

The Proposed First Edition of the Standard for Electrical Systems for eBikes, UL 2849, is being proposed as a Binational Standard for Canada and the United States
[Comments due December 22nd]
ASTM International develops most of the consensus documents that establish the standard of care for sports and recreation equipment and facilities. ASTM Committee F08 on Sports Equipment, Playing Surfaces, and Facilities has released a redline of its consensus product F2772 Specification for Athletic Performance Properties of Indoor Sports Floor Systems. Public announcement of the commenting opportunity appears in the link below:
Comments are due December 23rd.
ASTM International has its own way of posting exposure drafts for public comment; typically in very large batches compared with other consensus product developers present in our algorithm. Its due process procedures depend heavily on face-to-face meetings twice every year; usually the root cause of why so many are released at once. Any stakeholder is permitted free access to the exposure drafts during the comment period but very often the sheer number of exposure drafts prohibit complete participation. On the other hand, ASTM International has a lengthy catalog of consensus products in nearly every sector of the US economy, with hundreds of technical committees, so the large drops of redlines open for public comment reflect that.
Also, it may well be that F2772 is a relatively stable product such that proposed changes are minor enough that the redline does not require a lengthy commenting period. Usually major technical changes are dealt with farther upstream the standards development process; even before the semi-annual committee meetings.
You may obtain an electronic copy by communicating directly with cleonard@astm.org. Send your comments to Laura Klineburger, (610) 832-9744, accreditation@astm.org with a copy to psa@ansi.org
For more information about how to participate (i.e. travel to the meetings, present data to technical committee members, draft new proposals, review the redlines prepared by others, click into a committee teleconference, submit a ballot, etc.) you may communicate directly with ASTM F08 Staff Manager: Joe Koury (jkoury@astm.org) at 610-832-9804
We include this standard on the agenda of our monthly Athletic & Recreation facility teleconference; open to everyone. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting
