CODES & STANDARDS EGSA Codes & Standards Committee Reports Major Progress and Leadership Updates
• Staff Liaison - Mir Mustafa , EGSA In 2027, Jeff will be moving into a supporting role as the other mem- bers of the leadership team move up one position. The secretary position will be open and looking to be filled with interested parties. A big thank you to the C&S leadership team for their efforts and support throughout the year. This group represents a diverse seg- ment of the onsite power generation industry, is committed to the goals of EGSA and works well together. Do you know the difference between a code and a standard? We can help you answer that question. Just ask any one of us! The following is a list of codes and standards that members of this EGSA committee participate in. • NFPA 37 - Standard for the instal- lation and use of Stationary Com- bustion Engines and Gas Turbines. Update: First draft meeting held in May. First draft is currently posted for public review. • NFPA 70 - The National Electrical Code. This code is adopted by all 50 states and governs the installa- tion of electrical equipment EGSA member companies produce and sell. Update: 2026 version is released. Public commenting is now open for the 2029 version, closing on April 9, 2026. • NFPA 110 - Standard for Emergen- cy and Standby Power Systems, NFPA 111 - Standard on Stored Electrical Energy Emergency and Standby Power Systems. Update: Public input closed June 5th and first draft posting – March 25, 2026.
• UL1008 - Standard for Safe- ty-Transfer Switch Equipment. Update: Preliminary review of mul- tiple topics in process and nearing completion. • ANSI/CAN/UL/ULC2200 - Stan- dard for Safety-Stationary Engine Generator Assemblies. Update: Several updates in pro- cess. Release date – TBD. • ANSI/CAN/UL/ULC6200 - Stan- dard for Safety-Controllers for use in Power Production. Update: Task group working on resolution of comments from April 2025 vote on reaffirmation and continuance of 1st edition. In addition to the list above, there are other standards technical commit- tees that EGSA members serve on, representing their employers, bring- ing insight and knowledge to the broader EGSA membership. We are always looking for input on what rele- vant codes and standards need to be added to the list. Please share your thoughts and ideas with any of the committee leaders and we will take it from there. Our goal is to have the EGSA C&S members be an integral part of the code-making process for relevant in- dustry standards. If not part of the process, to have a working knowl- edge of activity with each of the standards so that knowledge can be shared with EGSA members. This industry engagement continues to benefit EGSA members’ best inter- ests. Looking forward to next year! This EGSA committee will continue its efforts to reach out to EGSA mem- ber companies, serve on relevant code-making panels, and increase EGSA’s visibility in the industry. l
Jeff Jonas Chair of EGSA Codes & Standards Committee Generac Power Systems
T he EGSA Codes & Standards (C&S) Committee held its semi-annual in-person meeting during the fall con- ference. Attendance was good, and the discussion topics were engaging. In addition, C&S hosted a ULC2200 working group meeting. This meet- ing was also well attended, including two subject matter experts from UL Solutions, providing a direct commu- nication path to this certification body and standards development organi- zation. This access to UL Solutions SMEs in a casual setting continues to be a unique opportunity in the in- dustry. Your EGSA C&S committee is continually seeking to expand this type of industry-certification body collaboration going forward. This is the current C&S leadership team: • Chair - Jeff Jonas , Generac Power Systems • Vice-Chair - Brady Eifrid , Rehlko • Secretary - Vikram Jayanath , MTU, Rolls-Royce Solutions • Board Liaison - Daniel Fischer , Schneider Electric • Board Liaison - Michael Sanford , Cummins Power Systems
