Joint Industrial Council 1

[DonLeffingwellPE]

Back about 25 years ago, I contacted an organization called the JIC. (Joint Industrial Council) to obtain standards for electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic machine controls and was able to purchase these standards. I have since lost them. I tried searching the Internet for a reference to JIC, their standards, etc. and couldn't find anything. Can someone tell me if they still exist and are standards available?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Don Leffingwell<br><A HREF="mailto:dleffingwell@snet.net">dleffingwell@snet.net</A><br><br><br>

Here is an article I have on the JIC:<br><br>JIC<br><br>These standards are referenced widely.&nbsp;&nbsp;The documnet itself state that conformance to JIC standards is strictly vountary.&nbsp;&nbsp;It basiclly assures that a machine and/or its controls are &quot;bullet-proof&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp;Its origins are in the automotive industry and was written for mass production equipment and machine tools.&nbsp;&nbsp;It does not address advances in component technology or wiring methods.&nbsp;&nbsp;JIC standards are similar to NFPA 79.&nbsp;&nbsp;Because JIC standards are not regularly (in fact, rarely) updated, NFPA 79 is a better standard to reference.<br><br>An old spec list:<br><br>JIC<br>7901 Westpark Drive<br>McLean, Virginia&nbsp;&nbsp;22101<br>703-893-2900<br><br>Good Luck<br><br>
