Public Review Opportunity: ASA/BSR S12.60-20XX/Part 1
Public Review Opportunity: ASA/BSR S12.60-20XX/Part 1 The draft standard Acoustical Performance Criteria, Design Requirements, and Guidelines for Schools – Part 1: Permanent Schools is now available for public review through May 11, 2026. Public review is an important step in the standards development process, as it gives stakeholders the opportunity to provide input, suggest improvements, and help strengthen the final document. In this case, the standard is already published as an American National Standard (ANS) and is being submitted for revision.

Public Review Opportunity: ASA/BSR S1.22-2021 / IEC 60263:2020 (R20XX)
The public review period for ASA/BSR S1.22-2021 / IEC 60263-2020 (R20XX), Scales and sizes for plotting frequency characteristics and polar diagrams, is open through April 20, 2026. Public review is an important step in the standards development process, as it gives stakeholders the opportunity to provide input, suggest improvements, and help strengthen the final document. In this case, the standard is already published as a Nationally Adopted International Standard (NAIS) and is being submitted for reaffirmation only. This means the technical content in the IEC adoption remains unchanged. However, in keeping with ANSI due process, each standard must be balloted every five years to allow for review and comment.
