The requester shall decide whether to request an 'official' or 'unofficial' interpretation. Responses to requests for official interpretations must be approved by the cognizant committee, which normally meets twice a year in conjunction with the ASHRAE Society meetings. An unofficial interpretation is defined as a written explanation of the meaning of a specific provision of a standard or guideline, as determined by the ASHRAE Technology Department Staff, in response to a written request.ĪSHRAE will not normally respond to a follow-up request for official interpretation to confirm a previous unofficial interpretation. A typical response time for an unofficial interpretation is 30 days, while the official interpretation might require 6-12 months for response.

A request for interpretation may be either 'official' or 'unofficial' (personal).
