Hi Gil -
Peter Kennedy, who seems to have a great reputation in the Annapolis area,
claims on his Web site that he "...is an ABYC certified marine electrician..."
So, evidently ABYC does more than write standards, although this is the
first I've seen of this certification. Anyone know anything about it?
Regards,
John

> After reading some of the posts on ABYC standards and after reviewing the
ABYC's weak one sentence mission statement, I really question why the ABYC
thinks they have defined standards. The best I can tell, the standards are
written, reviewed, and approved solely by the ABYC. Also, as far as I can tell,
the ABYC is not a recognized standards body by anyone, except themselves.
I'm not suggesting that their work isn't good, although it would be hard to
know one way or another without spending big bucks for their "standards". What
I am suggesting is that the references produced by the ABYC are solely
recommendations, and not standards. It's also interesting that I could not find
any certification processes for the worked performed, other than that you
might equate to the work being performed by a certified technician.
I'm really not bashing ABYC. In time, assuming its membership is open to
all and that recommendations aren't voted on by a company that can benefit from
a given recommendation, then the ABYC recommendations may actually become
standards.
