What’s In Store for 2007?
Patrick Nolan
DDL is kicking off 2007 with a brand new area to our blog. Various DDL experts will be making posts to this section about their industry insights and experiences.
In 2006, we were pleased to launch our Industry Standards Alert service to offer insight into changing industry standards. This was motivated by our involvement in the revisions to ISO 11607 and the depth of interest we received from industry professionals in receiving regular industry requirements updates. If you are still unclear about the ISO 11607 revisions, you can listen to our series of on-demand webinars.
More industry standard revisions are in store for 2007, this time to ISO 4168, the standard for “general rules for compilation of performance test schedules.”
Proposed revisions to ISO 4168 include:
- Specifying orientations for drop tests
- Clarification for the orientations for vibration tests
- Using the vibration profile as detailed in ISO 13355
- Adding time durations for 3 assurance levels
DDL is also pleased to be a part of the Hurricane Katrina Disaster Assistance Team from February 3 - 10, 2007. Thank you to Ozzie Echols, Patrick Ayinde and Corey Hensel for joining me on the trip to Mississippi to help rebuild the Gulfport region. Even though the disaster is mostly out of the limelight and off the nighttime news, there is much to be done in the Gulf area. This recovery effort will take years! We need to help our neighbors get back on their feet.
