The Architectural Woodwork Institute (AWI) announces the opening on October 4, 2024 of a 45-day Public Comment Period for two proposed new American National Standards (ANS): AWI 0100 - Submittals and AWI 0648 – Wood Frames.
AWI 0100 - Submittals http://www.gotoawi.com/standards/awi0100.html
AWI 0648 - Wood Frames http://www.gotoawi.com/standards/awi0648.html
The Public Comment period for the standards mentioned above will be open for feedback until closing on November 18, 2024. During the Public Comment period for these standards, anyone has the opportunity to review the draft standard, share their concerns or comments, and provide their solutions to AWI for review by AWI Standards Staff and the AWI Technical Committee.
During the Public Comment Period commentary must be submitted through the Public Comment Form (accessible at the links above) in accordance with AWI’s record-keeping policies as an ANSI-accredited Standards Developer Organization, ensuring compliance with the requirements of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Commentary on the standard submitted outside of this format will not be considered by the AWI Technical Committee.
The Public Comment Forms are solely for providing feedback and/or commentary on the proposed standard. Any comments regarding grammar, formatting, or style do not affect the standard’s usage; therefore, please email any editorial issues directly to [email protected] or to [email protected].
At the close of the Public Comment period, the AWI Standards Staff and the AWI Technical Committee will review any concerns and comments. They will provide detailed written responses accepting or rejecting proposed solutions, along with an explanation. A letter of disposition will be sent to address all concerns in an attempt to resolve them.
Through AWI’s ANSI-approved Policies and Procedures, the AWI Technical Committee is continuing to develop the multi-section suite of standards that harmonize with other relevant ANSI industry standards. By doing so, differing interpretations and conflicts surrounding the standards are minimized.
Contact either [email protected] or [email protected] with questions.

Well this does not look safe. But it's cool, this image isn't real. It was made with Generative AI. hashtag
AI was a big topic at this year's Annual Convention. We wanna know how you're using it.
Is your company using AI regularly for any processes? Do you plan to? Are you scared to? Do you wish it would all just go away?
Share your thoughts in the comments. (And if you don't have any thoughts on this, apparently ChatGPT can think of some for you.)
