Chapters address specific circumstances surrounding special occupancies and industrial equipment and machines. It also contains specific details on the safe installation and use of communications and signaling conductors.

All requirements in the National Electrical Code® are confirmed through a rigorous process of comprehensive review, markup, annotation and revision. The NEC has been published since 1897, and in that time the code and its accompanying National Electrical Code Handbook have undergone radical restructuring to reflect the latest electrical and wiring technologies.

The 2014 edition of the NEC has been revised to include important changes such as:

- Expanded AFCI and GFCI protection in homes
- Continued emphasis on making installations safe for electrical workers
- Coverage of new methods to distribute low voltage power
- New approaches toward ensuring safety of photovoltaic (PV) electric systems

Description 

Published annually. Contains all current AATCC test methods plus AATCC research and administrative committee rosters and reports as well as monographs and evaluation procedures


Updated handbook includes key revisions plus several new methods


New Test Methods


200-2012, Drying Rate of Textiles at their Absorbent Capacity: Air Flow Method. This method determines the drying rate of textiles based on the evaporation rate that occurs at their approximate absorbent capacity.


201-2012, Drying Rate of Fabrics: Heated Plate Method. This method determines the drying rate of a fabric based on the evaporative rate that occurs when the fabric is placed in contact with a prescribed amount of water at the interface of a heated metal plate, held to a constant temperature.


202-2012, Relative Hand Value of Textiles: Instrumental Method. This method is for the determination of an instrumental relative hand value using the mechanical properties measured on a selected reference fabric and a comparable candidate fabric. This method does not intend to replace subjective evaluation of hand.


A New Monograph:


M10, Barré: Visual Assessment Descriptive Terms and Terminology. Test Method 178, Barré: Visual Assessment and Grading, has been withdrawn from the AATCC TECHNICAL MANUAL. A new monograph was developed in order to keep the descriptive terms and terminology for guidance.


Revisions:


TM 16-2004, Colorfastness to Light, as written, currently contains six options that can be used. Due to the number of options, users can become confused about which sections of the method apply to their desired option. The current method has been revised to streamline the procedure, and by splitting it into three new test methods, is designated as follows:


16.1-2012, Colorfastness to Light: Outdoor. This test method provides the general principles and procedures for determining the colorfastness to light of textile materials outdoors under glass. This method supersedes TM 16-2004, Option 6-Daylight Behind Glass. A flow chart is included as an appendix to the method for assistance in performing the method.


16.2-2012, Colorfastness to Light: Carbon-Arc. This test method provides the general principles and procedures for determining the colorfastness to light of textile materials using an enclosed carbon-arc apparatus. This method supersedes TM 16-2004, Options 1-Enclosed Carbon-Arc Lamp, Continuous Light, and 2-Enclosed Carbon-Arc Lamp, Alternate Light and Dark. A flow chart is included as an appendix to the method for assistance in performing the method.


16.3-2012, Colorfastness to Light: Xenon-Arc. This test method provides the general principles and procedures for determining the colorfastness to light of textile materials using a xenon-arc apparatus. This method supersedes TM 16-2004, Options 3-Xenon-Arc Lamp, Continuous Light, Black Panel Option, 4-Xenon-Arc Lamp, Alternate Light and Dark, and 5-Xenon-Arc Lamp, Continuous Light, Black Standard Option. Option 3, which is the most used option from current TM 16, will still be option 3 in this new method. A flow chart is included as an appendix to the method for assistance in performing the method. Also, the use of xenon reference fabric has been removed from the method.

AATCC Monograph M6, Standardization of Home Laundry Test Conditions, has been revised to include the addition of washing machine parameters for High Efficiency top load washing machines, updated washing machine parameters for top load and front load washing machines and updated washing temperatures used in all machines, and a description of a “key-dance” feature that will be available in some of the 2013 washing machines of all platforms for normal and delicate cycles. The “keydance” feature is a preprogrammed washing cycle that is accessed by using a specific combination of control panel buttons.

Description


The BNF for Children (BNFC) provides essential practical information to all healthcare professionals involved in the prescribing, dispensing, monitoring and administration of medicines to children.The resource addresses a significant knowledge gap in many areas of paediatric practice by providing practical information on the use of medicines in children of all ages from birth to adolescence.Recommendations in the BNF for Children have been constructed on the basis of authoritative sources, emerging evidence and best practice guidelines. The content has been carefully validated by a network of paediatric experts and the process is overseen by a paediatric formulary committee.Unique benefitsShares the familiar structure of the British National Formulary (BNF) and is designed to be used in paediatric and general practice settingsIncludes information on unlicensed use of medicines and provides details of unlicensed medicines that can be imported, manufactured by ‘special order' or prepared extemporaneouslyCovers the drug treatment of rare childhood conditions, provides guidance on specialist paediatric interventions and includes details of those medicines that are used in children in a different way to adultsAs a point-of-care tool it is important that it provides practitioners with the most up-to-date information and therefore the latest edition is essential.International relevanceBNF and BNFC are the gold standard of drug information in English-speaking countries. They are used for constructing national formularies in other countries and to support regulatory work. They provide essential information when treating patients who have been prescribed medicines in the UK. Unlike many other local alternatives, both resources are completely independent from pharmaceutical industry influence with guidance that is based on best practice and real life evidence.Significant content updates for latest editionThe BNF for Children 2013-2014 has been revised and revalidated to reflect changes in product availability, emerging safety concerns and shifts in clinical practice.Some significant updates include:Changes to the criteria that define paracetamol overdose included in Emergency Treatment of PoisoningNICE guidance on the use of omalizumab for severe persistent allergic asthma in children 6 years and overAdvice on prescribing adrenaline auto-injectors for anaphylaxis by brand name only to ensure patients and carers receive the device they have been trained to useImportant advice on the prescribing of caffeine; caffeine doses are now expressed in terms of caffeine citrate onlyRevised drug treatment of septicaemia in neonates to take account of the NICE guideline Antibiotics for Early-onset Neonatal Infection (August 2012)NICE guidance on when to prescribe tobramycin by dry powder inhalation for pseudomonal lung infection in cystic fibrosisUpdated doses of rifampicin and ethambutol in the standard regimen for the treatment of tuberculosisMHRA/CHM advice on prescribing oral tacrolimus products by brand name only to minimise the risk of inadvertent switching between products.

The NETA Acceptance Testing Specifications was developed for use by those responsible for assessing the suitability for initial energization of electrical power equipment and systems and to specify field tests and inspections that ensure these systems and apparatus perform satisfactorily, minimizing downtime and maximizing life expectancy. 

Use the ANSI/NETA ATS 2013 as a guide when specifying and performing the necessary tests to ensure that your electrical systems and apparatus not only meet your project specifications, but that the manufacturer of the equipment supplied you with a product that will perform safely and reliably for many years to come.

Acceptance tests are not manufacturers factory tests. They comprise those tests necessary to determine that the electrical equipment has been selected in accordance with the engineer's requirements, installed in accordance with applicable codes and installation standards, and perform in accordance with their design and setting parameters. The ANSI/NETA Standard for Acceptance Testing Specifications for Electrical Power Equipment and Systems assists designers, specifiers, architects, and users of electrical equipment and systems in specifying required tests on newly-installed power systems and apparatus, before energizing, to ensure that the installation and equipment comply with specifications and intended use as well as with regulatory and safety requirements.
 

1. GENERAL SCOPE 

1. These specifications cover the suggested field tests and inspections that are available to assess the suitability for initial energization and final acceptance of electrical power equipment and systems.

2. The purpose of these specifications is to assure that tested electrical equipment and systems are operational, are within applicable standards and manufacturer's tolerances, and are installed in accordance with design specifications.

3. The work specified in these specifications may involve hazardous voltages, materials, operations, and equipment. These specifications do not purport to address all of the safety issues associated with their use. It is the responsibility of the user to review all applicable regulatory limitations prior to the use of these specifications.
