PEARL Adds ‘Service Organization’ Membership, Seeks ANSI Accredited Standards Developer Status

s recent annual meeting, PEARL members voted to expand membership to include a new Service Organization Member category. PEARL also redefined its Associate Member category, and by a straw p corsa oll, confirmed PEARL's Board of Director's suggestion that the association pursue Standards Deve chevrolet lopment Organization (SDO) status through the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

The new Service Organization category applies to all electrical service companies that have a permanent facility for electrical reconditioning. Members of the Service Organization class have full Voting Member privileges and rights. In addition to a permanent reconditioning facility, Service Organization members must meet all other PEARL member requirements, such a minimum of $1 million in annual sales, adhere to PEARL standards and Codes of Business Practice.

"This new category is designed for electrical field service companies, such as those that belong to NETA, as well as motor and transformer repair shops, such as those that belong to EASA, assuming they also have a permanent facili auto part ty for electrical apparatus reconditioning and meet the other criteria," explained David Rosenfield, President of ROMAC Supply and Director for PEARL.

PEARL members also approved changes to the Associate Member category. From now on, all new members will apply as Associate Members until such time as they request site inspection and certification by PEARL. Following a successful site certification, the Associate Member can become a dodge full Voting Member with full association privileges. In the past, new members could join as full-voting members with the intent to pursue site certification and receive many of the benefits of PEARL membership prior to site certification.

PEARL member companies also agreed during the official business meeting to accept the Board of Director's recommendation that PEARL pursue SDO status through ANSI with the intent of adding PEARL's reconditioning standards to the ANSI body of U.S. technical standards.
