Gobo Standard and Two Rigging Standards in Public Review

Stage Directions: PLASA has released three standards for public review. ANSI E1.35 - 2007, Standard for Lens Quality Measurements for Pattern Projecting Luminaires Intended for Entertainment Use, is being revised to increase the accuracy of the measurement procedure. It is open to download and comment on until Jan. 21, 2013. There are also two rigging standards related to electric chain hoists for review. BSR E1.6-2 - 201x, Entertainment Technology — Design, Inspection, and Maintenance of Electric Chain Hoists for the Entertainment Industry, is part of the E1.6 powered entertainment rigging project and covers the design, inspection, and maintenance of serially manufactured electric link chain hoists having capacity of 2 tons or less and used in the entertainment industry. BSR E1.6-4 - 201x, Portable Control of Fixed-Speed Electric Chain Hoists in the Entertainment Industry, is a standard for the controls often used to operate the chain hoists that are the subject of E1.6-2. These are available for review and commenting until Jan. 28, 2013.
