UK - The Institute of Sound and Communications Engineers (ISCE) and the Professional Lighting and Sound Association (PLASA) have agreed to set up a joint group on Audio Frequency Induction Loop Systems (AFILS). International Standard IEC/EN 60118-4 is up for revision, and some of the current content has been a bone of contention amongst many for some time. The collaboration between the two organizations will help provide a productive forum for members to generate a considered and expert view on the proposals, submitting them via BSI committee EPL/29.

PLASA has agreed to share John Woodgate's reports on the relevant BSI and IEC meetings with ISCE members. Currently, it is anticipated that the group will communicate through the ISCE mailgroup at present. If necessary, a separate mailgroup can be set up, depending on the level of response. The group is open to employees of PLASA members, and the joining instructions can be found by following the link from the ISCE Home Page (address below).

Copies of relevant IEC and BSI documents will be sent to members by e-mail attachment, but only if they are requested via the mailgroup - this is in order to avoid unsuspecting users having their inboxes unnecessarily filled up. More information can be obtained via the PLASA Standards Office at the e-mail address below:
