New Project on Luminaire Inspections
At its meeting on January 20, the Electrical Power Working Group, part of ESTA's Technical Standrds Program, approved the start of a project to write a standard to offer guidance on the inspection of stage and studio luminaires. The new project, BSR E1.32-200x, Recommended Practice for the Inspection of Entertainment Industry Luminaires, is designed to help electricians conduct regular inspections of lighting instruments. In working on the BSR E1.19 GFCI project, it has become clear to the working group that one of the causes of ground-fault circuit interrupters tripping on stages, in studios, and on location shoots is faulty lighting equipment. Regular inspection would allow faults to be identified and corrected so they aren't risks to personnel or causes of production delays.
Interested parties--who would be anybody who owns, rents, uses, inspects, or repairs stage and studio luminaire--are invited to participate in the project by joining the Electrical Power Working Group or by participating in future public reviews of the draft document. Information about joining this working group and others is available at http://www.esta.org/tsp/working_groups/index.html. Anyone objecting to the project because he feels it is not needed, because it would duplicate or contradict advice given in an existing standard, or because of some other reason, is invited to state his objection in writing to standards@esta.org. Objections should be filed before the end of the day on 12 March 2006.
