ANSI/NETA MTS-2011 A N S MERICAN ATIONAL TANDARD A B PPENDIX F M T REQUENCY OF AINTENANCE ESTS an excerpt from the ANSI/ NETA Standard for Maintenance Testing Specifications for Electrical Power Equipment and Systems Secretariat NETA (InterNational Electrical Testing Association) Approved by American National Standards Institute – This page intentionally left blank – American Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. National Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standard 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 effort be made toward 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 conforming 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 in 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 Caution Notice: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time.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 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.
