Technical Standards Incorporated by Reference
Chapter
					 ATCP 50, Wis. Adm. Code,
					 incorporates the following technical standards by reference. Primary standards
					 are specifically identified in ATCP 50. Secondary standards are incorporated by
					 reference in one or more primary standards. The following list identifies each
