5、(ANS) is a national voluntary consensus standard developed under the auspices of ASHRAE. Consensus is definedby the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), of which ASHRAE is a member and which has approved this standard as an ANS, as “substantialagreement reached by directly and materially af
6、fected interest categories. This signifies the concurrence of more than a simple majority, but not necessarilyunanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that an effort be made toward their resolution.” Compliance with thisstandard is voluntary until and unless a l
7、egal jurisdiction makes compliance mandatory through legislation.ASHRAE obtains consensus through participation of its national and international members, associated societies, and public review.ASHRAE Standards are prepared by a Project Committee appointed specifically for the purpose of writing th
8、e Standard. The Project CommitteeChair and Vice-Chair must be members of ASHRAE; while other committee members may or may not be ASHRAE members, all must be technicallyqualified in the subject area of the Standard. Every effort is made to balance the concerned interests on all Project Committees. Th
9、e Manager of Standards of ASHRAE should be contacted for:a. interpretation of the contents of this Standard,b. participation in the next review of the Standard,c. offering constructive criticism for improving the Standard, ord. permission to reprint portions of the Standard.DISCLAIMERASHRAE uses its

ASHRAEs memberswill strive to minimize any
25、possible deleterious effect on the indoor and outdoor environment of the systems and components in theirresponsibility while maximizing the beneficial effects these systems provide, consistent with accepted standards and the practical state ofthe art.ASHRAEs short-range goal is to ensure that the sy
26、stems and components within its scope do not impact the indoor and outdoorenvironment to a greater extent than specified by the standards and guidelines as established by itself and other responsible bodies.As an ongoing goal, ASHRAE will, through its Standards Committee and extensive technical comm
27、ittee structure, continue togenerate up-to-date standards and guidelines where appropriate and adopt, recommend, and promote those new and revised standardsdeveloped by other responsible organizations.Through its Handbook, appropriate chapters will contain up-to-date standards and design considerati
28、ons as the material issystematically revised.ASHRAE will take the lead with respect to dissemination of environmental information of its primary interest and will seek out anddisseminate information from other responsible organizations that is pertinent, as guides to updating standards and guideline
29、s.The effects of the design and selection of equipment and systems will be considered within the scope of the systems intended useand expected misuse. The disposal of hazardous materials, if any, will also be considered.ASHRAEs primary concern for environmental impact will be at the site where equip
30、ment within ASHRAEs scope operates.However, energy source selection and the possible environmental impact due to the energy source and energy transportation will beconsidered where possible. Recommendations concerning energy source selection should be made by its members. ASHRAE (www.ashrae.org). For personal use only.
