PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.)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– 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– Includes Country-Specific/Regional/Global Codes and Standards, not just those specific to North America!

PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.)PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.)• Glossary – Bob Faber RCDD, NTS, Assistant SE Region

Director and 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 !as part of ESSDRM 4 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.)PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.)• Process to “modularize” BICSI manuals

began in 2013began 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 pptechnical 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


• By organizing the information into smaller y g gsections, new or updated manuals can be produced with ease and on a more specific basis by simply creating thespecific basis by simply creating the manual through the applicable modules

• Discrepancies which could result from different review cycles for common i f i h i i d i hiinformation that is contained within two or more manuals or documents can be reduced or eliminatedreduced or eliminated


•Overall goals of modularization:g

–Ensure that each module is updated as d d t d t h ineeded to accommodate changes in

related codes, standards and industry practices, regardless of any publication schedule

I f ti i di t ib t d i kl–Information is distributed as quickly as possible to manual owners


– 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 madeprevious editions of modules will be made available to members/subscribers as archived modules


OSPDRM 5th Edition selected as first–OSPDRM 5th Edition selected as first manual to enter process; will be part of d l t f 6th Editidevelopment of 6th Edition

–TI&M subcommittee formed at Winter Conference in Tampa in 2013Conference in Tampa in 2013


– First task is to:

• Identify what topics belong in which modules

• Generate draft topic outlines for each module

• Identify those modules which are specific to an individual manual and those which could be considered generic across two or more manualsconsidered generic across two or more manuals

– Goal is to have first task completed in mid-2014
