AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Approval of an American National Standard requires review by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of t
6、he ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted e
7、ffort be made towards their resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not co
8、nforming to the standards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in
9、the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for interpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this standard. CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the
10、American National Standards Institute require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard. Purchasers of American National Standards may receive current information on all standards by calling or writing the American National Standards Institute. Notice of Discla

22、ference point for the building. It is normally a terminal or bus bar provided for the connection of grounding conductors. 3.3 coordinated electrical protection: All the protection elements, internal and external to the equipment, react in such a way so as to limit the amount of energy, voltage, or c

25、 It may consist of a weatherproof enclosure, equipment pod, or an equipment hut. Types of equipment contained in an EEE might be switches, carrier electronics, or remote terminals. The EEE may be located remotely from a central office, and may be located above or below ground. The temperature and hu
26、midity within the EEE may be controlled. The EEE, like the central office, is served by telecommu-nications outside plant cable, which may be aerial, directly buried, or placed in underground conduit. It may also be served by commercial ac power facilities, and may have provisions for standby power.
