Management - Part 2: Using Asymmetric Techniques for the Distribution of
Symmetric Keys (reaffirmation of ANSI X9.24 Part 2-2006)
Compliant implementation of the requirements stated in ANSI X9.24 Part 1
for the secure management of symmetric TDEA keys requires unique keys
per device and strict enforcement of dual control and split knowledge
processes for handling the full-length keying material deployed to remote
devices or established between communicating pairs. Historically, compliant
implementation of key distribution has been a manually performed,
physically on-site process that is difficult to manage, costly, and/or non-
existent (i.e., not compliant). An automated rather than manual method of
distributing symmetric keys could address these issues and could result in
improved security.

BSR/ASME P30.1-201x, Planning for Load Handling Activities (new
standard)
This standard establishes planning considerations and practices that apply
to Load Handling Equipment (LHE), other associated equipment and
activities when moving loads vertically or horizontally. The planning guidance
contained in this standard is divided into two categories dependent upon the
nature of the load handling activity and the degree of exposure to the issues
that impact safety. The categories are designated as Standard Lift Plan and
Critical Lift Plan. The P30.1 Standard does not exclude any particular
equipment or industry. However, its contents may not address all of the
hazards that may be encountered during load handling activities that utilize
track and automotive jacks, railway or automobile wrecker cranes, shipboard
cranes, shipboard cargo-handling equipment, well-drilling equipment, skip
hoists, mine hoists, car or barge pullers, conveyors, excavating equipment,
elevators, rack-and-pinion hoists, mast climbers and swing stages, and
powered platforms for building maintenance.

Project Initiation Notification System (PINS)

ANSI Procedures require notification of ANSI by ANSI-accredited standards developers (ASD) of the initiation and scope of activities expected to result in
new or revised American National Standards (ANS). Early notification of activity intended to reaffirm or withdraw an ANS and in some instances a PINS
related to a national adoption is optional. The mechanism by which such notification is given is referred to as the PINS process. For additional information,
see clause 2.4 of the ANSI Essential Requirements: Due Process Requirements for American National Standards.

Following is a list of proposed actions and new ANS that have been received recently from ASDs. Please also review the section in Standards Action
entitled "American National Standards Maintained Under Continuous Maintenance" for additional or comparable information with regard to standards
maintained under the continuous maintenance option. To view information about additional standards for which a PINS has been submitted and to search
approved ANS, please visit www.NSSN.org, which is a database of standards information. Note that this database is not exhaustive.

Directly and materially affected interests wishing to receive more information or to submit comments are requested to contact the standards developer
directly within 30 days of the publication of this announcement.

ISO/IEC 9541 defines a method of naming glyphs and glyph
collections, independent of any document-encoding technique; it
assumes that one or more methods of associating document encoding
techniques with glyph identifiers used in font resources will be provided
by text processing systems. ISO/IEC 9541-1:2012 specifies the
architecture of a font resource, i.e., the font description, font metrics,
glyph description and glyph metrics properties required for font
references and the interchange of font resources.

ISO/IEC 9541 specifies the architecture of font resources, as well as
the formats for font interchange amongst information processing
systems. ISO/IEC 9541 also specifies the architecture and formats that
can be used to construct font references in general electronic
document interchange. ISO/IEC 9541-2:2012 specifies the interchange
formats for font information, and the minimum subsets of that
information required for interchange. ISO/IEC 9541-2:2012 requires the
property definitions as defined in ISO/IEC 9541-1.

New Work Item
Management System for Quality of Private
Security Company (PSC) Operations
Requirements with Guidance
ANSI (USA) has proposed the attached new work item
entitled Management System for Quality of Private Security
Company (PSC) Operations - Requirements with Guidance
with the following scope statement:
This proposed International Standard (Standard) provides
the principles and requirements for a Quality Assurance
Management System (QAMS) for Private Security
Service Providers including Private Security Companies
(collectively PSCs) to provide quality assurance in all
security related activities and functions while
demonstrating accountability to law and respect for
human rights. The Standard provides auditable criteria
and guidance consistent with the Montreux Document on
Pertinent International Legal Obligations and Good
Practices for States related to Operations of Private
Military and Security Companies during Armed Conflict
of 17 September 2008 and the International Code of
Conduct for Private Security Service Providers (ICoC) of
9 November 2010. This Standard provides a means for
PSCs, and their clients, to provide demonstrable
commitment and conformance with the aims of the
Montreux Document and the principles outlined in the
ICoC, as well as enhance the security and protection of
stakeholders.
Anyone wishing to review the new work item proposal can
request a copy of the proposal by contacting ANSIs ISO
Team via e-mail: isot@ansi.org.

PROPOSAL

9.2.1 A polymeric material used for electrical insulation, support of uninsulated live parts or as an
enclosure of live parts shall have a flame class rating of V-0, or 5VA or VTM-0 in accordance with the
requirements of the Standard for Tests for Flammability of Plastic Materials for Parts in Devices and
Appliances, UL 94. A polymeric material used for electrical insulation or for support of uninsulated live
parts shall have a flame class rating of V-0, 5VA, or VTM-0. The flame class rating of the material shall
be judged at the minimum thickness employed at the walls and barriers that are critical to the functioning
of the electrical insulation, support of uninsulated live parts or as the enclosure of live parts.

38.2 A 60-Hz sinusoidal potential is to be applied between live parts conductively connected to the supply
circuit and dead metal parts. The applied potential is to be 500 V for components on the load side of an:

In Canada:

CEC Class 2 power source,

In the United States:

NEC Class 2 power source.

or 1000 V plus twice the supply voltage for all other components. The supply source is to have capacity
to maintain the potential specified, except in case of breakdown. The voltage is to be increased gradually
from zero until the specified test potential is reached or until breakdown occurs.
