“The Country School” | Winslow Homer

Today at 11 AM EDT we review the status consensus products (codes, standards, guidelines, recommendations and safety legislation) that set the standard of care for the design, manufacture and maintenance of interior fixtures such as carpet, furniture, bookshelves and ceiling tiles, plumbing fixtures.  Waste management, laboratory fixtures, recycling amenities — i.e. things are not nailed down — are on the agenda.   Also we track elevated interest and market-making by conformity interests in the manufacturing and material recycling far up the value chain.

In large research universities, it is common for building service personnel engaged in keeping facilities clean and tidy to constitute the largest proportion of permanent employees; thus some consideration must be given to occupational safety.

Because so much of the #SmartCampus transformation involves electrotechnologies, we walk-through of public commenting opportunities on electrical power, telecommunication, information and communication technology standards twice per month.  Coincides with the day of two IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee teleconferences at 15:00 Central European time and 3:00 PM Eastern time in the Americas.

An update on our collaboration with other like-minded units in the education industry in the US and other nations.  In most cases we conform to participation requirements set by ANSI US Technical Advisory Groups but we also have liaison with other universities in the European Union who conform to the participation requirements of their own national standards bodies.  Use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page.  Because a great deal of content is copyright protected by the ISO, IEC and the ITU, please contact bella@standardsmichigan.com for an advance agenda.
