Abstract: Typical practice in developing standards by most technical organizations is to address certain working principles of non-proprietary commercially available devices and/or accepted industry practice of usage of certain type of device. This practice of developing standards often imposes negative constraints for the users in the industry. Any proprietary device that may offer improved performance characteristic may not be covered by the standard, when the proprietary design or operating principle does not conform to that defined by the standard hence may refrain user from installing such a device. This constraint also withholds manufacturers from improving performance of a device that would employ a proprietary design or operating principle. This imposed shortcoming of the standard for the industry is recognized and it is proposed that a standard should define what the device should achieve and not how it is achieved. A standard should specify the purpose of the device, output of the device with adequately defined testing protocol for the device, and format of the test data and report that will allow the user to evaluate performance of different commercially available devices and select the device that best suits the application and meets the desired performance requirements of the device.
