The newly issued documents in February covered a variety of technical subject areas, including:
Standard Practice for Human Systems Integration; Touch Interactive Display Systems: Human Factors Considerations, System Design and Performance Guidelines; Permanently or Semi-Permanently Installed Diagnostic Communication Devices; Active Safety Bicyclist Test Targets Recommendation; and Test Procedure for Internal Heat Exchangers of Mobile Air-Conditioning Systems with R-134a or R-1234yf Refrigerant.
To date, SAE International has issued 19 new technical documents since January 1; 178 documents have been revised or reaffirmed.
Technical standards set expectations for safety, reliability, and quality while helping companies reduce their costs, increase productivity, and advance new technologies. SAE International’s standards repository totals nearly 35,000 documents – of which 11,000 are active and 24,000 historical dating back to the early 1900s.
