It is responsible for all code language documents, the standards written in mandatory, enforceable language, and other standards, guidelines, and addenda in the fields of heating, refrigerating, air conditioning, and ventilating engineering, including all revisions, reaffirmations or withdrawals thereof, to be considered for approval.
