22、ry technical discipline and every facet of trade andcommerce, organized labor and consumer interests,establish and improve the some 10,000 nationalconsensus standards currently approved as AmericanNational Standards.ANSI provides that the interests of the public mayhave appropriate participation and

23、 representation instandardization activity, and cooperates withdepartments and agencies of U.S. Federal, state andlocal governments in achieving compatibility betweengovernment codes and standards and the voluntarystandards of industry and commerce.ANSI represents the interests of the United Statesi

25、sCommission (COPANT). As such, ANSI coordinates theactivities involved in the U.S. participation in thesegroups.ANSI approval of standards is intended to verifythat the principles of openness and due process havebeen followed in the approval procedure and that aconsensus of those directly and materi

26、ally affected bythe standards has been achieved.

38、otor vehicles in order to operate alternatively oneither gasoline or natural gas. The American Gas Association Laboratories (AGAL), in response to thisneed developed an A.G.A. Requirement for Natural Gas Vehicle (CNG) Conversion Kits, No. 1-85. Thisrequirement was intended to help promote the safe d

39、evelopment and installation of NGV conversionsystems by manufacturers and installers. The first draft of A.G.A. Requirement No. 1-85 was developedduring 1984 and 1985, with the final version dated August 20, 1985.At the time of its issuance, the A.G.A. No. 1-85 was in compliance with NGV equipment a

40、nd fuelingstations specifications published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) under its Standard forCompressed Natural Gas (CNG) Vehicular Fuel Systems, NFPA 52. The first edition of NFPA 52 wasissued in 1984. A second edition was issued in 1988.In 1988 a group of U.S. gas utilities

41、 formed the Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) Coalition (the Coalition) topromote widespread use of compressed natural gas as a transport fuel. The Coalition organized committeesto address technical, marketing and legislative issues which would affect the future expansion of a U.S.transportation industry fu

42、eled by natural gas.The Coalition recognized that an important consideration in the successful commercialization of natural gasas a vehicle fuel was the issue of codes and standards (or the lack of codes and standards, or harmonizedcodes and standards) pertaining to both fuel stations and vehicle fu

43、el systems. The Coalitions TechnologyCommittee was established to achieve the goal of an organized family of coordinated codes, standards andregulations addressing natural gas vehicles and fueling stations. To help achieve this goal, the TechnologyCommittee established the Standards and Standardizat

44、ion Subcommittee.Subsequently, the third edition of NFPA 52 was published in 1992. This edition incorporated manychanges developed and recommended by the NGV Coalitions task groups.During August 1992, an NGV Conversion Equipment Task Group was established to coordinate with theAGAL for requirements

45、for compressed NGV conversion kits. The task group agreed the phrase “NGVfuel system” should replace “NGV conversion kits.” (An NGV fuel system is comprised of all majorcomponents required to supply, manage, and/or control fuel flow, enabling a vehicle to operate on naturalgas.) The task group conti

46、nued to meet during August, October and December 1992 to promulgate thedevelopment of a standard to cover both dedicated and bi-fuel natural gas systems for light and mediumduty vehicles.A standard for NGV fuel system components already existed in Canada namely the National Standard ofCanada CAN/CGA

47、 12.3, Fuel System Components for Natural Gas Powered Vehicles. The genesis for thisCanadian document was the Amendment to the 1982 CGA B149.1, Natural Gas Installation Code whichadded to the Code provisions for Natural Gas for Vehicles (NGV) fuel system components on highwayvehicles, as well as cov

48、erage of NGV refuelling stations. Subsequently these NGV aspects evolved intostand-alone Canadian documents, one being the CAN/CGA-12.3 which was first published in February1991.In order to further common goals for North American harmonization, the task group and the CanadianGas Association (CGA) NG

49、V Steering Committee on Natural Gas Powered Vehicles, initiated formationof a joint activity involving the CGA Steering Committees Subcommittee on Fuel System Componentsfor Natural Gas Powered Vehicles and the NGV Conversion Equipment Task Group.On February 17, 1993, the first joint meeting of the NGV Conversion Equipment Task Group and theCGA 12.3 Standards Subcommittee on Fuel System Components for Natural Gas Powered Vehicles washeld. As a result the U.S. Task Group and Canadian
