2.  ISO 17078.1

3.  ISO 17078.2

·  ISO Work Group 4 has raised a few more issues on 17078.2.

o  They want us to reduce the number of design and functional test levels from four to three.

§  We agree to reduce the levels of design validation to three levels. We’ll do this by merging V2 and V1 into a new V1, changing V3 to V2, and changing V4 to V3.

§  We agree to reduce the levels of product validation testing to three levels. We’ll do this by merging F2 and F1 into a new F1, changing F3 to F2, and changing F4 to F3.

o  They want wording changes on the annex dealing with valve modeling.

§  We will work on this at the next meeting in San Antonio.

o  We need to review the grandfather clause of the elastomer testing requirements.

§  Work Group 4 has proposed wording for this; it is acceptable pending further editorial review.

o  Work Group 4 suggests we review the environmental grade requirements in Annex B.

§  A section from the SSV document has been pasted into draft of 17078.2.
