– Special Design Considerations has become a stand-alone document as a supplement to the TDMM 13th Edition; was published in February 2015 and is available from the BICSI website
– Additionally, “legacy” technologies will also be included in a stand-alone document to the TDMM 13th Edition
PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.) • TPMRM – 1st Edition
– Publication Date: February 2016 – Release Date: May 2016
• ESSDRM – 4th Edition Editorial Review held in January 2014 – Publication Date: April 2014
– Release Date: July 2014
PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.) • ITSIMM - 7th Edition Editorial Review held in
December 2014
– Publication Date: August 2015
– Release Date: November 2015
• OSPDRM - 6th Edition
– Publication Date: January 2017
– Release Date: April 2017
PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.) • Appendix A – Codes and Standards Listing
– Now a “module” document common across all design and
installation manuals and also posted on the BICSI website
– Updated with each revision to a Design or Installation Manual (currently being updated as part of ESSDRM 4th Edition revision cycle); a “living” document !
– Better ability to keep up with additions, deletions, revisions to applicable Codes and Standards as they occur
– Includes Country-Specific/Regional/Global Codes and Standards, not just those specific to North America!
PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.) • Glossary – Bob Faber RCDD, NTS, SMETL
– Originally a book, now a “module” document common across all
design and installation manuals, and will also be posted on the BICSI website
– Like the Codes and Standards Listing, will be updated with each revision to a Design or Installation Manual (currently being updated as part of ESSDRM 4th Edition revision cycle); a “living” document !
– Basically an improved, more readily available form of the previous hardcopy BICSI ITS Dictionary
– Better ability to keep up with additions, deletions, revisions to ITS terms, definitions and acronyms as they occur in the industry
PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.) • Process to “modularize” BICSI manuals
began in 2013 – Goal is to convert the structure of the manuals
from stand-alone documents with fixed revision schedules to an aggregation of individual modules that include all of the applicable technical information required for that particular manual or publication • Modules will in effect be small "chapters" that
will be written in a manner that will allow them to stand alone or as a part of a larger manual or document
PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.)
• By organizing the information into smaller sections, new or updated manuals can be produced with ease and on a more specific basis by simply creating the manual through the applicable modules
• Discrepancies which could result from different review cycles for common information that is contained within two or more manuals or documents can be reduced or eliminated
PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.)
•Overall goals of modularization:
–Ensure that each module is updated as needed to accommodate changes in related codes, standards and industry practices, regardless of any publication schedule
–Information is distributed as quickly as possible to manual owners
PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.) – Move to a "subscription service" whereby a
manual subscriber will receive constant updates to their manual sets
» As modules are created or updated, the new/revised modules will be automatically sent to the subscribers
» As modules are revised and/or updated, previous editions of modules will be made available to members/subscribers as archived modules
PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.)
–OSPDRM 5th Edition selected as first manual to enter process; will be part of development of 6th Edition
–TI&M subcommittee formed at Winter Conference in Tampa in 2013
PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.) – Tasks completed to date:
• Identified what topics belong in which modules
• Formalized draft module categories
• Assigned Subject Matter Expert Team Leaders (SMETL) for each module
• Began assembling Module Subject Matter Expert (SME) team members
– Next steps:
• Obtain relevant information from BICSI publications for each module • Begin organizing material within the respective modules
• Review for currency and correctness; add new material as applicable
