3.6 Referenced Standards: In order for a standard to be considered for reference or to continue to be
referenced by the Codes, a standard shall meet the following criteria:

3.6.1 Code References:

3.6.1.1 The standard, including title and date, and the manner in which it is to be utilized
shall be specifically referenced in the Code text.
3.6.1.2 The need for the standard to be referenced shall be established.

3.6.2 Standard Content:

Page -32-
 3.6.2.1 A standard or portions of a standard intended to be enforced shall be written in
mandatory language.

3.6.2.2 The standard shall be appropriate for the subject covered.

3.6.2.3 All terms shall be defined when they deviate from an ordinarily accepted meaning
or a dictionary definition.

3.6.2.4 The scope or application of a standard shall be clearly described.

3.6.2.5 The standard shall not have the effect of requiring proprietary materials.

3.6.2.6 The standard shall not prescribe a proprietary agency for quality control or testing.

3.6.2.7 The test standard shall describe, in detail, preparation of the test sample, sample
selection or both.

3.6.2.8 The test standard shall prescribe the reporting format for the test results. The
format shall identify the key performance criteria for the element(s) tested.

3.6.2.9 The measure of performance for which the test is conducted shall be clearly
defined in either the test standard or in Code text.

3.6.2.10 The standard shall not state that its provisions shall govern whenever the
referenced standard is in conflict with the requirements of the referencing Code.

3.6.2.11 The preface to the standard shall announce that the standard is promulgated
according to a consensus procedure.

3.6.3 Standard Promulgation:

3.6.3.1 Code change proposals with corresponding changes to the code text which include a
reference to a proposed new standard or a proposed update of an existing referenced shall
comply with this section. The standard shall be completed and readily available prior to Final
Action Consideration based on the cycle of code development which includes the proposed
code change proposal. In order for a new standard to be considered for reference by the
Code, such standard shall be submitted in at least a consensus draft form in accordance with
Section 3.4. Updating of standards without corresponding code text changes shall be
accomplished administratively in accordance with Section 4.5.

3.6.3.2 The standard shall be developed and maintained through a consensus process such
as ASTM or ANSI.
