Membership on a committee shall not in and of itself constitute an endorsement of ABYC or any document developed by the committee on which the member serves.


This standard, which is the result of extended and careful consideration of available knowledge and experience on the subject, was developed under procedures accredited as meeting the criteria for American National Standards and is intended to provide minimum performance requirements. The Project Technical Committee that approved the standard was balanced to ensure that individuals from competent and concerned interests have had an opportunity to participate.


ABYC’s Project Technical Committee (PTC) meetings are open to the public. All inquiries regarding standards activity, interpretations, or meeting attendance should be directed to the ABYC Technical Department at comments@abycinc.org.


ABYC and its committees do not “approve” or “endorse” any item, construction, or proprietary device. Request for Interpretations


Upon written request the On-Water Education PTC will render an interpretation of any requirement of the standard. The request for interpretation should be clear and unambiguous. Requests should be presented to the PTC in a manner in which they may be answered in a “Yes” or “No” fashion.


The committee reserves the right to reconsider any interpretation when or if additional information that might affect it becomes available to the PTC. Persons aggrieved by an interpretation may appeal to the committee for reinterpretation.
