U.S Customary English Unit Electrical Material Specifications (EB Specifications)
BDC00S-9
February 28, 2001
Subject: The release of the Electrical Material Specifications, (EB Specifications), in U.S. Customary English Units.
Over the next several months the Department will issue all Engineering documents (such as Standard Construction Details, Design Manuals, Sample Plans, Standard Specifications, and Standard Pay Items list) in U.S. Customary English Units. This is the first of such documents to be released. A Department policy on the use of English unit documents however, will be issued at a future date via a separate BDC announcement. Until then, the users are requested to familiarize themselves with the English unit documents.
The attached new U.S. Customary English Unit version of the Electrical Material Specification, also known as the EB Specifications, is identical to the Metric version EB Specifications issued via BDC00S-11 dated February 23, 2001.
Instruction to Designers:
The effective date indicated on each of these English Electrical Material Specifications (EB Specifications) is July 1, 2001. However, although these can be used on all projects developed in English units after July 1, 2001, it is not intended to mean that all projects will be done in English units after the date. The announcement detailing the criteria for developing contract documents in English units will be issued by a future BDC announcement.
