NEW YORK — ESTA announced that the draft standard, BSR E1.23 — 200x, Entertainment Technology —Design and Execution of Theatrical Fog Effects, is available for public review through June 22. The BSR E1.23 project is a revision of the existing ANSI E1.23 — 2006 standard, which offers advice on the planning and execution of theatrical fog effects using glycol, glycerin, or white mineral oil fogs or mists in theatres, arenas, and other places of entertainment or public assembly.
To review the proposed standard, go to at www.esta.org/tsp/documents/public_review_docs.php
The purpose of the revision project is, first, to change the list of fog chemicals in the scope to better match those chemicals normally used in theatrical fog effects, and second, to better define the qualifications of those in charge of designing and executing the effects.
ESTA invited reviewers to submit comments on whether or not the new draft standard offers adequate advice and to notify ESTA of any protected intellectual property in the draft standard on the public review response form. Comments must be received by the end of the day UTC on June 22. When June 23 starts, the review is over, and the links on the ESTA Web site to the document, the review form, and so on, will disappear.
For more information, please contact Karl G. Ruling, Technical Standards Manager, ESTA, 875 Sixth Avenue, Suite 1005, New York, NY 10001, 212.244.1505; or email standards@esta.org
