ESTA Publishes
Three Standards
Entertainment Insurance?
We’ve Got You Covered.
Three ESTA standards were recently approved by the ANSI Board of Standards Review. They can
be purchased from ANSI and IHS at https://webstore.ansi.org/ and https://global.ihs.com/ respectively, or
they can be downloaded at no cost from the TSP website at tsp.esta.org/freestandards. The no-cost down-
load is made possible by the sponsorship of ProSight Specialty Insurance.
ANSI E1.6-2 – 2018, Design, Inspection, and Maintenance of Electric Chain Hoists for the
Entertainment Industry
This document is part of the E1.6 powered entertainment rigging suite of standards. It covers the design,
inspection, and maintenance of serially manufactured electric link chain hoists having capacity of 2 tons or
less and used in the entertainment industry. It is a revision of the 2013 edition. Volume 22, Number 9 Page 1
ANSI E1.14 – 2018, Entertainment Technology - Recommendations for Fog Equipment
Manuals
ANSI E1.14 applies to the user-instruction materials for fog-making equipment manufactured for use in the
entertainment industry. In order to use fog safely and effectively, the user must have some general knowl-
edge of the technology, have a clear understanding of how to operate the fog making system, and be aware
of the potential hazards related to the use of fog, and particularly the system that he is using. This standard is
designed to establish guidelines for manufacturers to provide to the user the necessary information required
for the safe and responsible use of fog equipment. This is a revision of the 2013 edition, with changes made
to clarify what information needs to be hard-copy with the equipment and what might on a website or in
some other format.

ANSI E1.35 - 2013 (R2018), Standard for Lens Quality Measurements for Pattern Projecting
Luminaires
Intended for Entertainment Use ANSI E1.35 describes a method for measuring stage and studio luminaire lens
quality with particular emphasis on contrast and perceived projected image quality (sharpness). It also offers
a way for presenting these results on a datasheet in a format that is readily understood by a typical end-user
and that allows the end-user to directly compare lenses in a meaningful way. Without this standard, there is
no way to describe how clearly a stage lighting instrument projects an image, other than by showing a person
with the actual instrument and gobo. The download from the tsp.esta.org website is a ZIP file that includes an
EPS graphic file of the test pattern in three common gobo sizes. This is a reaffirmation of the 2013 standard.
