ISHRAE's ongoing standards development framework — enabling anyone to propose changes at any time through a structured, committee-driven review process.
Access the online comment database to submit continuous maintenance proposals on standards and guidelines on continuous maintenance. A complete list of standards and guidelines under continuous maintenance can be found in the online comment database →
Under continuous maintenance procedures, anyone may propose changes at any time. Each change will be considered by the appropriate Standing Standard Core Committee (SCC) or Standard Technical Committee (STC), according to a definite schedule.
All proposals are logged in the online comment database. Submitters receive acknowledgement and are notified of the outcome once the relevant committee completes its review cycle.
Each Standard Technical Committee (STC) follows a balanced stakeholder model, ensuring representation across the entire HVAC&R ecosystem — from manufacturers and academia to regulators and international bodies.
Definitions for each member category within the Standard Technical Committee, aligned with ISHRAE's stakeholder representation policy.
★ A consultant representing a manufacturer shall be considered as 'Manufacturer'.
