National Association against

In some situations there may be no national standard against which to calibrate your devices. Colors and textures are two examples. If you face this situation, you should gather together a group of experts within your company or trade association and establish by investigation, experimentation, and debate what constitutes the standard. Having done this you should document the basis of your decisions and produce a device or number of devices which can be used to compare the product with the standard using visual, quantitative, or other means. 

Hi.S may cause hydrogen embrittlement in certain metals. Figures 7-1 and 7 -2 show the H2S concentration at which the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) recommends special metallurgy to guard against H9S corrosion. 

The National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) makes recommendations to the industry on how to protect installations against all sorts of corrosion. It was established to protect people, assets and the environment against the effects of corrosion.

This is no less dramatically true tor the folsity of the concept of mental illness than it is for that of masturbatory insanity. The National Association for Mental Health asserts, and American presidents endorse and repeat, that Mental illness is like any other illness. The facts are that American citizens may be hospitalized and treated against their will for mental illness, but not for any other may plead mental illness as an excuse to crime, but not any other and may obtain a divorce from their spouses disabled by mental illness, but not by any other. Yet, these facts have not weakened—indeed, perhaps they have strengthened—the psychiatric and popular view that mental disorders are medical diseases requiring care by physicians in hospitals.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People did send a telegram to President Roosevelt protesting against the lynching, from their New York office. The Negroes had never heard of the communists before. 

The oitedon for cathodic protection of aluminum in soils and waters has been published by the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (Ref 14). The suggested practice is to shift the potential at least -0.15 V but not beyond the value of -120 V as measured against a saturated copper sulfiite (C11/CUSO4) reference electrode. In some soils, potentials as low as -1.4 V have been encountered without appreciable cathodic corrosion (Ref 15). Essentially the same criterion is followed in eastern Europe (Ref 16). 

Environmental Enclosures Enclosures for valve accessories are sometimes required to provide protection from specific environmental conditions. The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) provides descriptions and test methods for equipment used in specific environmental conditions in NEMA 250. Protection against rain, windblown dust, hose-directed water, and external ice formation are examples of environmental conditions that are covered by NEMA standards. 

FPN No. 1) It is important that the authority having Jurisdiction be familiar with recorded industrial experience as well as with standards of the National Fire Protection Association, the American Petroleum Institute, and the Instrument Society of America that may be of use in the classification of various locations, the determination of adequate ventilation, and the protection against static electricity and lightning hazards. 

The output of an exposure and risk assessment will usually describe the levels of exposure and quantity the population exposed for both humans and other biota, and will estimate the associated probabilities of the incidence of adverse health effects. Population exposure or risk, obtained by multiplying the individual (per capita) exposure or risk by the numbers exposed at each level of exposure, may also be a useful measure of impact. Various analyses can be performed on the results, for example, comparison of exposures in a particular geographic area against national average exposure levels. Likewise, for the same pollutant, environmental risks due to a particular industry might be compared against risks associated with occupational or household activities. In addition, the health risk of different substances could be compared for priority setting. 

Injuries and fatalities from asphyxiation are often associated with personnel entry into inerted equipment or enclosures. Guidance on safe procedures for confined space access are provided by OSHA (OSHA, 29 CFR 1910.146, Confined Space Entry Standard, 2000), the American National Standards Institute (ANSI, Z117.1, Safety Requirements for Confined Spaces, 2003), Hodson (Hodson, Safe Entry into Confined Spaces, Handbook of Chemical Health and Safety, American Chemical Society, 2001), and BP (BP, Hazards of Nitrogen and Catalyst Handling, 2003). OSHA has established 19.5 vol % as the minimum safe oxygen concentration for confined space entry without supplemental oxygen supply (see Table 23-18). Note that OSHA imposes a safe upper limit on 02 concentration of 23.5 vol % to protect against the enhanced flammability hazards associated with 02-enriched atmospheres.
