CHANGE TO C63 PROCEDURES
Current wording in the procedures

A.6 Subgroups created by the committee
When one or more subgroups (subcommittees, working groups, technical subcommittees, writing
groups, etc.) are formed to expedite the work of the consensus body, their formation (and later
disbandment) requires approval by a majority vote of the consensus body and appropriate public
notice. The scope and duties delegated to the subgroup shall be approved at the time it is formed,
and subsequent changes in scope or duties shall also require approval by the consensus body. The
charge to the subgroup shall clearly state whether:
a. The subgroup is responsible for the definitive content of one or more standards and for
responding to views and objections thereon. Such subgroups shall maintain a
membership roster in accordance with A.5.5(a) through A.5.5(g) and shall
comply with
the provisions in A.5.4, A.7.1, and Clause A.8 as applied to voting on the
standard(s);
or
b. The subgroup is responsible for assisting the consensus body (e.g. drafting all or a
portion of a standard, drafting responses to comments, drafting positions on
international
standards, or other purely advisory functions).
A.6.1 Chairperson and members of subgroups
The chair and members of a subgroup shall be appointed by the chair of the consensus body and
confirmed by the consensus body. The scope, duties, and membership of all subgroups shall be
reviewed by the consensus body annually. The officers and members of a subgroup need not be
members of the consensus body.
A.6.2 Approval of standards
Draft standards and any substantive change (see Clause 1.2.9 of the ANSI Procedures) in the
content of a standard proposed by a subgroup shall be referred to the consensus body for
approval.
Proposed Changes to the Procedure

A.6 Subcommittees created by the committee
When one or more subcommittees are formed to expedite the work of the consensus body, their
formation (and later disbandment) requires approval by a majority vote of the consensus body and
appropriate public notice. The scope and duties delegated to the subcommittee shall be approved
at the time it is formed, and subsequent changes in scope or duties shall also require approval by
the consensus body. The charge to the subcommittee shall clearly state whether:
a. The subcommittee is responsible for the definitive content of one or more standards
responding to views and objections thereon. Such subcommittees shall maintain a
membership roster in accordance with A.5.5(a) through A.5.5(g) and shall

and for
or
b. The subcommittee is responsible for assisting the consensus body (e.g. drafting all or a

international
standards, or other purely advisory functions).
A.6.1 Chairperson and members of subcommittees
The chair and members of a subcommittee shall be appointed by the chair of the consensus body
and confirmed by the consensus body. The scope, duties, and membership of all subcommittees
shall be reviewed by the consensus body annually. The officers and members of a subcommittee
need not be members of the consensus body.
A6.1.1 - Working Groups and Task Forces formed under Subcommittees will be

The chairman of the Working Group or Task Force will be appointed by the chairman
of the Subcommittee. Membership of the Working Group or Task Force will be open
(members need not be members of the consensus body) and be approved by the
Subcommittee; their mission and timetable will also be approved by the
Subcommittee.
The membership of the Working Group or Task Force shall be reported to the
Consensus Body for informational purposes only.

Draft standards and any substantive change (see Clause 1.2.9 of the ANSI Procedures) in the
content of a standard proposed by a subcommittee shall be referred to the consensus body for
approval.
A6.2.1- Draft standards and any substantive change (see Clause 1.2.9 of the ANSI

compatibility between hand-held wireless transmitters (cell phones and radios) and electronic devices
used in manufacturing and industry. The size and limited availability of these devices often make
testing under controlled laboratory conditions unrealistic, and therefore an on-site and ad hoc test
protocol, similar to that drafted for medical-specific devices, is proposed

Checklists and guidance for Assessors in the Assessment of Calibration Laboratories for EMC related
equipment and antennas.
Scope Summary:
This project will define a set of minimum guidance for assessors involved in the assessment of calibration
laboratories providing calibration services for EMC test labs. The results of this project would be a
checklist that would include a appropriate list of reference material (reference to applicable calibration
standards, accepted methods for determining Measurement Uncertainty and list major contributors of Muc
for Calibration) for the assessors use in the assessment of the calibration laboratory. The checklist will also
include a set of minimum items that the assessor will need to evaluate the technical competence of the lab.

Title of Project:
Measurement of Magnetic Waves at Frequencies Below 30 M Hz
Scope Summary:
The purpose of this effort is to develop procedures for the measurement of magnetic fields at frequencies
below 30 MHz. As appropriate this effort will either develop a procedure to be included in ANSI C63.4
clause 4 with the necessary appendices to describe the modified procedures necessary to perform these
measurements or develop a new ANSI C63 standard for this purpose and to be referenced in ANSI C63.4
clause 4. This effort will consider the use of the Van Veen loop in accordance with CISPR 16-1 and 2
for devices of less than 1.6 m on its largest dimension. For devices larger 1.6 m, the effort will develop a
near-field procedure which can be used to determine the actual magnetic field intensity which would
actually be observed at the required measurement distance by the FCC or other relevant authority.
