NOW AN AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD

NETA ACCEPTANCE TESTING SPECIFICATIONS 2009

As of February 19, 2009, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approved the NETA Standard for Acceptance Testing Specifications for Electrical Power Equipment and Systems, 2009 edition (ANSI/NETA ATS-2009). ANSI provides all concerned U.S. parties with an unbiased setting to unite and work towards common agreements. The route to create these voluntary standards is guided by the Institute’s fundamental principals of consensus, due process, and candidness, and relies heavily upon data gathering and compromises among a broad spectrum of stakeholders.

 Available for purchase as a bound manual, CD-ROM, or electronic download at www.netaworld.org, the ANSI/NETA ATS-2009 is used when specifying and performing necessary tests to ensure that electrical systems and apparatus not only meet project specifications, but that the manufacturer of the equipment supplied a product that will perform safely and reliably for many years to come. “Anyone involved in the energization of electrical equipment should consider this document a must have” says Al Peterson, President of Utility Service Corporation. For further information on NETA, ANSI/NETA standards, or NETA’s additional member services, contact Kristen Schmidt at 888.300.6382 or at.
