2011 – Year of Humanitarian Engineering

Dec 8

Posted by jimmunro in Jim Munro, JMIC News | No Comments

It is interesting to note that Engineers Australia has declared 2011 as the Year of Humanitarian Engineering:

“a year in which we will recognise the role of engineering in improving quality of life and disaster recovery.
“Our goal is to promote the significance and importance of humanitarian engineering to both the engineering profession and wider community so that humanitarian engineering receives the necessary support in Australia and abroad – and continues to make a difference,” it said.

It seems very relevant to the work of Energy for Opportunity (EFO) – http://www.energyforopportunity.org/

Keeping Track of TC 31 Standards

Jul 22

Posted by jimmunro in JMIC News, TC 31 News | Comments off

IEC Committee TC 31 Equipment of Explosive Atmospheres is frequently publishing new standards or revising existing ones.  There are also corrigenda and interpretation sheets.   Keeping track of these can be difficult (even for the Chairman of the Committee!).  Hence I am now endeavouring to produce and maintain information that summarises the status of published standards and those that are nearing publication.  I intend to place this information regularly on this website so that others can share in the information.  However, I am not infallible and those using this information may still wish to check the IEC website or with their local standards provider as well.

The list appears separately on this website under TC 31 Documents.
