Codes and Standards MexE 410 - Codes, Standards and Professional Ethics for MExE  A World Without Standards – Lights Out https://youtu.be/H-sO4OpA9SM Code - a set of rules and specifications for the correct methods and materials used in a certain product, building or process. Codes can be approved by local, state or federal governments and can carry the force of law. The main purpose of codes is to protect the public by setting up the minimum acceptable level of safety for buildings, products and processes. (Milwaukee School of Engineering, https://libguides.msoe.edu/me/codes) - exist for the purpose of safety, quality or other benefit - a code is not a law that must be followed, but can be adopted into a law or included in a business contract. Codes that have been adopted by a city, state or country must then be followed. - Codes may incorporate or refer to existing standards or specifications - Minimum acceptable level for safety and quality Technical Standard - is an established norm or requirement. It is usually a formal document that establishes uniform engineering or technical criteria, methods, processes and practices. Standards allow for interchangeability of parts, system interoperability, and they ensure quality, reliability and safety. (Milwaukee School of Engineering, https://libguides.msoe.edu/me/codes) - A standard is an agreed way of doing something in a consistent and repeatable way. Standards set minimum requirements in terms of safety, reliability, efficiency and trust. (IEC, https://www.iec.ch/understanding-standards) - Standards are published documents that establish technical specifications and procedures designed to maximize the reliability of the materials, products, methods, and/or services people use every day. (IEEE SA, https://beyondstandards.ieee.org/what-are-standards-why-are-they-impor tant/) - A common language for defining quality A code tells you what you need to do, and a standard tells you how to do it. While a code provides requirements for the products (e.g. material performance level) and processes (i.e. methodology of the design) involved in installation, standards benefit both the contractors and engineers who employ them, and also the end user. Definitions (https://www.iso.org/certification.html) Certification – the provision by an independent body of written assurance (a certificate) that the product, service or system in question meets specific requirements. Accreditation – the formal recognition by an independent body, generally known as an accreditation body, that a certification body operates according to international standards. Conformity assessment - involves a set of processes that show your product, service or system meets the requirements of a standard. How about Specifications and Regulations? Unlike a code or standard, which can apply broadly to an industry and region, specifications outline the requirements of a specific company or product. A specification provides specific requirements for the materials, components or services used in an application and may go above and beyond code or standard requirements. A regulation is mandated by a government body and requires that—by law—those in the industry comply. The regulation can incorporate codes or standards, or be created completely on its own. Unlike a code or standard, a regulation does not necessarily require any industry consensus or knowledgeable body to put it in affect. Simply put… Codes are generally accepted sets of rules that tell you what you need to do. Standards provide the “how to” of executing codes. Specifications, unlike codes or standards, outline the requirements of a specific company or product. Regulations, which can incorporate codes and standards, are mandated by a government body and required, by law, to be complied with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Etzh_HmQHF8 Main forms of conformity assessment are testing, certification, and inspection CERTIFICATION Certification is the provision by an independent body of written assurance (a certificate) that the product, service or system in question meets specific requirements. Certification is also known as third party conformity assessment. TESTING Testing is the determination of one or more of an object or product’s characteristics and is usually performed by a laboratory. INSPECTION Inspection describes the regular checking of a product to make sure it meets specified criteria. Understanding standards International standards also form the basis for testing and certification. International standards are also often adopted by countries or regions to become national or regional standards. For example, close to 80% of European electrical and electronic standards are in fact IEC International Standards. On the other side, regulations are rules or directives that are made and maintained by a national or regional authority. Generally, compliance with regulations is a must. However, it is quite common for technical regulations to refer to international standards because standards help avoid that the law becomes too detailed or descriptive. This approach allows laws to stay current because standards are regularly reviewed and updated. Relevance of Automation Professionals (including Mechatronics Engineers) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lngpfBRezFQ International Codes and Standards ASCE - standards and technical guidelines for civil engineering ASTM standards - technical standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems, and services developed and published by ASTM International, formerly known as American Society for Testing and Materials IEEE Standards - Standards published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). International Building Codes (IBC) - A comprehensive code addressing the design and installation of building systems through requirements emphasizing performance, the IBC establishes minimum regulations for building systems using prescriptive and performance- related provisions. International Codes and Standards - cont ASME standards - as standards, associated with the art, science, and practice of mechanical engineering. ASME is the globally recognized, trusted source of consensus standards since 1884. NFPA Codes - codes and standards that address fire, life, and electrical safety published by The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). NFPA offers read-only access to their codes and standards. Codes and standards cannot be downloaded or printed. International Codes and Standards - cont NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) - an ANSI-accredited Standards Developing Organization made up of business leaders, electrical experts, engineers, scientists, and technicians. ISO - ISO has over 19,500 standards covering aspects of technology and business IEC - headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, is the organization that prepares and publishes international standards and other publications for all electrical, electronic and related technologies.
