A request for interpretation may be either 'official' or 'unofficial' (personal). An official interpretation is defined as a written explanation of the meaning of a specific provision of a standard or guideline, as determined by an existing cognizant Project Committee (PC) or an Interpretation Committee (IC), 应书面请求. An unofficial interpretation is defined as a written explanation of the meaning of a specific provision of a standard or guideline, 由ASHRAE技术部员工决定, 应书面请求.
ASHRAE will not normally respond to a follow-up request for official interpretation to confirm a previous unofficial interpretation. A typical response time for an unofficial interpretation is 30 days, while the official interpretation might require 6-12 months for response. Responses to requests for official interpretations must be approved by the cognizant committee, which normally meets twice a year in conjunction with the ASHRAE Society meetings.
The requester shall decide whether to request an 'official' or 'unofficial' interpretation. Requests for official interpretation must meet the requirements of Section 10 of the Standards Committee Reference Manual. 参见下面的程序. 如要求官方翻译, the requester must complete and submit the Form for Requesting an 'Official' Interpretation to a Standard or Guideline included below. 如要求非官方翻译, the requester can simply submit the interpretation or questions in an e-mail. There is no official form for requesting an unofficial interpretation. Contact information, including e-mail address and phone number, must be included with each request.

An interpretation shall not be used to change the content of a standard or guideline. Letters that are in fact not requests for interpretation but rather proposals for changes to published standards or guidelines will be referred to the cognizant PC if one exists.
