| Desc | STANDARDS: FROM THE SOCIETY'S INCEPTION, ITS MEMBERS HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ACOUSTICAL STANDARDS CONCERNED WITH TERMINOLOGY, MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES, AND CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING THE EFFECTS OF NOISE AND VIBRATION. IN 1932, THE AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS INSTITUTE (ANSI), THEN CALLED THE AMERICAN STANDARDS ASSOCIATION, APPOINTED THE ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY AS SPONSOR OF A COMMITTEE, DESIGNATED AS Z-24, TO STANDARDIZE ACOUSTICAL TERMINOLOGY AND MEASUREMENTS. THE WORK OF THIS COMMITTEE EXPANDED TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT IT WAS REPLACED IN 1957 BY THREE COMMITTEES, S1 ON ACOUSTICS, S2 ON MECHANICAL SHOCK AND VIBRATION, S3 ON BIOACOUSTICS, S12 ON NOISE, ADDED IN 1981 AND A FIFTH, S3, SC1 ANIMAL BIOACOUSTICS ADDED IN 2007. THESE COMMITTEES ARE EACH RESPONSIBLE FOR DEVELOPING A CONSENSUS FOR, AND ADOPTING STANDARDS IN ACCORDANCE WITH PROCEDURES APPROVED BY ANSI. ALTHOUGH THESE COMMITTEES ARE INDEPENDENT OF THE ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY, THE SOCIETY PROVIDES THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND AN ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARIAT TO FACILITATE THEIR WORK. MORE THAN 100 ACOUSTICAL STANDARDS HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED IN THIS WAY. THE SOCIETY ALSO PROVIDES ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT FOR SEVERAL INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS COMMITTEES AND ACTS AS THE ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARIAT (ON BEHALF OF ANSI) FOR THE INTERNATIONAL TECHNICAL COMMITTEE ON VIBRATION AND SHOCK (TC-108). SCOPE OF ASC S1: STANDARDS, SPECIFICATIONS, METHODS OF MEASUREMENT AND TEST, AND TERMINOLOGY IN THE FIELD OF PHYSICAL ACOUSTICS INCLUDING ARCHITECTURAL ACOUSTICS, ELECTROACOUSTICS, SONICS AND ULTRASONICS, AND UNDERWATER SOUND, BUT EXCLUDING THOSE ASPECTS WHICH PERTAIN TO BIOLOGICAL SAFETY, TOLERANCES AND COMFORT. SCOPE OF ASC S2: STANDARDS, SPECIFICATION, METHODS OF MEASUREMENT AND TEST, AND TERMINOLOGY IN THE FIELD OF MECHANICAL VIBRATION AND SHOCK, AND CONDITION MONITORING AND DIAGNOSTICS OF MACHINES, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO MECHANICAL VIBRATION AND SHOCK ON HUMANS, INCLUDING THOSE ASPECTS WHICH PERTAIN TO BIOLOGICAL SAFETY, TOLERANCE AND COMFORT. SCOPE OF ASC S3: STANDARDS, SPECIFICATIONS, METHODS OF MEASUREMENT AND TEST, AND TERMINOLOGY IN THE FIELDS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL ACOUSTICS, INCLUDING ASPECTS OF GENERAL ACOUSTICS, WHICH PERTAIN TO BIOLOGICAL SAFETY, TOLERANCE AND COMFORT. SCOPE OF ASC S3/SC 1: STANDARDS, SPECIFICATIONS, METHODS OF MEASUREMENT AND TEST, INSTRUMENTATION AND TERMINOLOGY IN THE FIELD OF PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL ACOUSTICS, INCLUDING ASPECTS OF GENERAL ACOUSTICS, WHICH PERTAIN TO BIOLOGICAL SAFETY, TOLERANCE AND COMFORT OF NON-HUMAN ANIMALS, INCLUDING BOTH RISK TO INDIVIDUAL ANIMALS AND TO THE LONG-TERM VIABILITY OF POPULATIONS. ANIMALS TO BE COVERED MAY POTENTIALLY INCLUDE COMMERCIALLY-GROWN FOOD ANIMALS; ANIMALS HARVESTED FOR FOOD IN THE WILD; PETS; LABORATORY ANIMALS; EXOTIC SPECIES IN ZOOS, OCEANARIA OR AQUARIUMS; OR FREE-RANGING WILD ANIMALS. SCOPE OF ASC S12: STANDARDS, SPECIFICATIONS, AND TERMINOLOGY IN THE FIELD OF ACOUSTICAL NOISE PERTAINING TO METHODS OF MEASUREMENT, EVALUATION, AND CONTROL; INCLUDING BIOLOGICAL SAFETY, TOLERANCE AND COMFORT, AND PHYSICAL ACOUSTICS AS RELATED TO ENVIRONMENTAL AND OCCUPATIONAL NOISE. | Desc |

| FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1: | THE ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1929 WITH THE PURPOSE TO INCREASE AND DIFFUSE THE KNOWLEDGE OF ACOUSTICS AND TO PROMOTE ITS PRACTICAL APPLICATION. DURING THE 85 YEARS SINCE THE ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY WAS FORMED, IT HAS ENJOYED A HEALTHY GROWTH IN MEMBERSHIP AND IN STATURE. THE PRESENT MEMBERSHIP OF APPROXIMATELY 7200 INCLUDES LEADERS IN ACOUSTICS IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND OTHER COUNTRIES. THE SOCIETY HAS ATTRACTED MEMBERS FROM VARIOUS FIELDS RELATED TO SOUND INCLUDING PHYSICS, ELECTRICAL, MECHANICAL, AND AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING, OCEANOGRAPHY, BIOLOGY, PHYSIOLOGY, PSYCHOLOGY, ARCHITECTURE, SPEECH, NOISE AND NOISE CONTROL, AND MUSIC. TWO MEETINGS OF THE SOCIETY HAVE BEEN HELD EACH YEAR, EXCEPT BETWEEN 1942 AND 1945. PAPERS ARE PRESENTED CONCERNED WITH ACOUSTICAL OCEANOGRAPHY, ANIMAL BIOACOUSTICS, ARCHITECTURAL ACOUSTICS, BIOMEDICAL ACOUSTICS, ENGINEERING ACOUSTICS, MUSICAL ACOUSTICS, NOISE, PHYSICAL ACOUSTICS, PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL ACOUSTICS, SIGNAL PROCESSING IN ACOUSTICS, SPEECH COMMUNICATION, STRUCTURAL ACOUSTICS AND VIBRATION, AND UNDERWATER ACOUSTICS. TO ASSURE ADEQUATE ATTENTION TO THESE SEPARATE FIELDS AND TO NEW ONES THAT MAY DEVELOP, THE SOCIETY ESTABLISHES TECHNICAL COMMITTEES AND TECHNICAL GROUPS CHARGED WITH KEEPING ABREAST OF DEVELOPMENTS AND NEEDS OF THE MEMBERSHIP IN THEIR SPECIALIZED FIELDS. AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT IN THE PROGRESS OF THE SOCIETY HAS BEEN THE JOURNAL OF THE ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA (JASA). THE JOURNAL BEGAN AS A QUARTERLY IN 1929, CHANGED TO A BIMONTHLY IN 1947, AND TO A MONTHLY BEGINNING IN JANUARY 1957. ITS APPROXIMATELY 7000 PAGES PER YEAR CONTAIN MANY OF THE PAPERS PRESENTED AT MEETINGS, OTHER CONTRIBUTED PAPERS, PATENT REVIEWS, AND MEETING PROGRAMS. THE JOURNAL IS AVAILABLE IN PRINT, ON CD ROM AND ONLINE. THE ONLINE VERSION INCLUDES TECHNICAL ARTICLES, MEETING ABSTRACTS, AND PATENT REVIEWS BEGINNING WITH VOLUME 1, ISSUE 1 (1929). IN ADDITION TO ITS JOURNAL, THE SOCIETY PUBLISHES ACOUSTICS TODAY MAGAZINE, REPRINTS OF OUT-OF-PRINT CLASSIC TEXTS IN ACOUSTICS, TRANSLATED BOOKS, AND HAS ALSO PRODUCED AN AUDITORY CD, THREE CD PAPER COLLECTIONS, TWO VIDEOS ON SPEECH COMMUNICATION AND VARIOUS OTHER PUBLICATIONS. FROM THE SOCIETY'S INCEPTION, ITS MEMBERS HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ACOUSTICAL STANDARDS CONCERNED WITH TERMINOLOGY, MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES, AND CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING THE EFFECTS OF NOISE AND VIBRATION. IN 1932, THE AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS INSTITUTE (ANSI), THEN CALLED THE AMERICAN STANDARDS ASSOCIATION, APPOINTED THE ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY AS SPONSOR OF A COMMITTEE, DESIGNATED AS Z-24, TO STANDARDIZE ACOUSTICAL TERMINOLOGY AND MEASUREMENTS. THE WORK OF THIS COMMITTEE EXPANDED TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT IT WAS REPLACED IN 1957 BY THREE COMMITTEES, S1 ON ACOUSTICS, S2 ON MECHANICAL SHOCK AND VIBRATION, AND S3 ON BIOACOUSTICS, WITH A FOURTH, S12 ON NOISE, ADDED IN 1981 AND A FIFTH, S3, SC1 ON ANIMAL BIOACOUSTICS ADDED IN 2007. THESE FOUR COMMITTEES ARE EACH RESPONSIBLE FOR PRODUCING, DEVELOPING A CONSENSUS FOR, AND ADOPTING STANDARDS IN ACCORDANCE WITH PROCEDURES APPROVED BY ANSI. ALTHOUGH THESE COMMITTEES ARE INDEPENDENT OF THE ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY, THE SOCIETY PROVIDES THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND AN ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARIAT TO FACILITATE THEIR WORK. MORE THAN 100 ACOUSTICAL STANDARDS HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED IN THIS WAY. THE SOCIETY ALSO PROVIDES ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT FOR SEVERAL INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS COMMITTEES AND ACTS AS THE ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARIAT (ON BEHALF OF ANSI) FOR THE INTERNATIONAL TECHNICAL COMMITTEE ON VIBRATION AND SHOCK (TC-108). MEMBERS OF THE SOCIETY HAVE FOR MANY YEARS BEEN INVOLVED IN STUDIES OF NOISE, ITS MEASUREMENT, ITS EFFECTS, AND WAYS OF REDUCING NOISE TO IMPROVE THE HUMAN ENVIRONMENT. PAPERS ON THESE SUBJECTS ARE PRESENTED REGULARLY AT SOCIETY MEETINGS AND PUBLISHED IN THE JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY. THROUGHOUT ITS HISTORY THE SOCIETY HAS BEEN FORTUNATE IN ATTRACTING THE INTEREST AND COMMITMENT OF A LARGE GROUP OF MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE SERVED DILIGENTLY IN VARIOUS CAPACITIES. THE UNSELFISH ACTIVITY OF THESE INDIVIDUALS IN THE FORMATION, GUIDANCE, ADMINISTRATION, AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS GROWTH AND PRESENT STANDING. |
