Motion (WIM) systems used for 

automated weight enforcement. 

EVF—Electric Vehicle Fueling Systems 

EVF–24.1. S.1.3. Mobile Device as 

Indicating Element for AC Chargers. 

The S&T Committee will consider a 

proposal submitted by Siemens Industry 

Inc.’s Smart Infrastructure eMobility; it 

is intended to clarify that use of a handheld mobile device such as a mobile 

phone to provide the Indicating 

Elements for an EVSE is an acceptable 

alternative to having the Indicating 

Elements built into the EVSE. This 

option is already accepted by the 

National Type Evaluation Program for 

certification. 

EVF–23.4. S.5.2. EVSE Identification 

and Marking Requirements, S.5.3. 

Abbreviations and Symbols, and N.5. 

Test of an EVSE System. 

The S&T Committee will consider a 

proposal submitted by Power 

Measurements LLC that is intended to 

update the existing required tests in 

NIST HB 44 (Section 3.40. Electric 

Vehicle Fueling Systems) that are used 

to determine the accuracy of alternating 

current (AC) and direct current (DC) 

systems. The proposal has a Developing 

status and would expand the number of 

test points over a specific range of 

operating conditions for the test of an 

electric vehicle supply equipment 

(EVSE) system. The S&T Committee has 

requested that stakeholders present an 

alternate proposal by exploring the 

option of combining the test procedures 

in this proposal with the test procedures 

and related terminology under 

consideration in EVF–23.7, a proposal 

submitted by Electrify America. 

EVF–23.6. S.5.2. EVSE Identification 

and Marking Requirements, and T.2. 

Tolerances. The S&T Committee will 

consider a proposal submitted by the 

Florida Department of Agriculture and 

Consumer Services, Electrify America, 

Tesla, EVGo, and Siemens. This 

proposal was revised by the S&T 

Committee after comments during the 

2023 NCWM Interim and Annual 

Meetings, and it would amend NIST HB 

44, Section 3.40, to allow DC systems 

placed in service prior to January 1, 

2024, that are marked as a Class 5 

device, to have an error of ± 5% through 

2034. DC systems installed on or after 

January 1, 2024, would be required to 

comply with the current 1% 

(acceptance)/2% (maintenance) 

tolerance. 

LPG—Liquefied Petroleum Gas and 

Anhydrous Ammonia LiquidMeasuring Devices 

LPG–24.2. S.2.5. Zero-Set-Back 

Interlock. 

The S&T Committee will consider a 

proposal submitted by the National 

Propane Gas Association; it is intended 

to address practical issues that propane 

retailers encounter when trying to 

comply with the zero setback 

requirements for propane stationary 

meters in NIST HB 44. 

LPG–23.1. S.2.5. Zero-Set-Back 

Interlock. 

The S&T Committee will consider a 

proposal submitted by the National 

Propane Gas Association and U-Haul 

International. The proposal has an 

Informational status and addresses 

issues that propane retailers encounter 

that do not have dispensers typically 

designed to be used to dispense retail 

motor fuel when trying to comply with 

zero-set-back interlock requirements in 

NIST HB 44 for electronic stationary 

and electronic vehicle-mounted propane 

meters and stationary retail motor-fuel 

devices used to dispense propane. The 

intent of the proposal is to exempt the 

required use of zero-set-back interlock 

mechanisms when a device is used in 

multiple applications to dispense 

liquefied petroleum gas as a vehicle 

motor-fuel and in filling containers/ 

cylinders for other than motor-fuel 

applications. 

OTH—Other Items 

OTH 16.1. Electric Watthour Meters 

Tentative Code. 

The S&T Committee will consider a 

proposal submitted by NIST, Office of 

Weights and Measures, which has an 

Informational status and is intended to 

make stakeholders aware of the work 

being done within the NIST U.S. 

National Work Group (USNWG) on 

Electric Vehicle Fueling and to develop 

proposed requirements for electric 

watthour meters used in submeter 

applications in residences and 

businesses (not intended to address 

utility metering under the authority of 

entities such as the local utility 

commission). 

NCWM L&R Committee 

The NCWM Laws and Regulations 

Committee (L&R Committee) will 

consider proposed amendments to NIST 

HB 133, including those identified 

below. A detailed technical review of 

the L&R Committee agenda items will be 

made available prior to the 2024 NCWM 

Interim Meeting in the 2024 NIST OWM 

Interim Analysis at https://

www.nist.gov/pml/owm/publications/ 

owm-technical-analysis. 

NET—NIST Handbook 133 

NET–24.1. Section 3.11. Ice Cream 

Novelties. 

The L&R Committee will consider a 

proposal submitted by the County of Los 

Angeles Department of Agriculture 

Commissioner/Weights and Measures to 

modify NIST HB 133, Section 3.11. Ice 

Cream Novelties. The proposal would, 

inter alia, provide technical guidance on 

the preparation and maintenance of ice 

water at the required temperature to test 

ice cream novelties. 

NET–24.2. Section 4.9. Procedure for 

Checking the Contents of Specific 

Agriculture Seed Packages Labeled by 

Count and Appendix D. AOSA Rules 

for Testing Seeds. 

The L&R Committee will consider a 

proposal submitted by the Louisiana 

Department of Agriculture and Forestry 

to align NIST HB 133, Section 4.9. 

Procedure for Checking the Contents of 

Specific Agriculture Seed Packages 

Labeled by Count and Appendix D. 

AOSA Rules for Testing Seeds with 

recent changes to Association of Official 

Seed Analyst (AOSA) Rules. This 

proposal would provide a standardized 

mechanical seed counter calibration 

procedure for all models of mechanical 

seed counters being used across the 

United States, to determine the number 

of seeds per pound and/or for the 

purpose of packaging seeds by count.
