This author provided input on Annex E to the two people who drafted it Jim Howe, vice chairman of the ZIO Accredited Standards Committee, representing the United Auto Workers International Union and Kendall Crawford, who operates Kendall C. Crawford Associates and represented the American Petroleum Institute as a ZIO committee member.
