This standard was developed under procedures accredited as meeting the criteria for American National Standards, The Project Technical Committee that approved the Standard was balanced to ensure that individuals from competent and concerned interests have had an opportunity to participate. This standard, which is the result of extended and careful consideration of available knowledge and experience on the subject, is intended to provide minimum performance requirements. ‘ABYC's Project Technical Committee meetings are open to the public. All contact regarding standards activity, interpretations, or meeting altendance should be directed to the ABYC Technical Department at ‘comments @abycine.org. ABYC and its committees do not “approve", “cetity’ or “endorse” any item, construction, or proprietary device. REQUEST FOR INTERPRETATIONS. Upon written request, the Thermal Appliance PTC will render an interpretation of any requirement of the Standard, The request for interpretation should be clear and unambiguous. Requests should be presented to the PTC in a manner in which they may be answered in a yes or no fashion, The Committee reserves the right to reconsider any interpretation when or if addtional information which might affect it becomes available to the PTC.
