Request RS Interest in Ballot of New Standard

The new standard, IEEE P3005.4, has completed draft creation and has begun the formal IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) balloting process. IEEE P3005.4 is titled: "Recommended Practice for Design and Operational Considerations for Improving the Reliability of Emergency and Stand-By Power Systems". This recommended practice describes how to improve the reliability of emergency and stand-by power systems. Some of the factors examined include the specific application of the emergency or standby equipment, environmental concerns, specification and acceptance testing of the equipment, and the operations and maintenance of the equipment.

If you are interested in balloting this or other standards to vote on approval or disapproval, please read on.
