Welcome to the home page for the CRE Subcommittee on Mechanical Equipment (SOME). The SOME develops and maintains a diverse set of mechanical equipment standards based on the fundamental tenets of safety, performance, and reliability. These standards address the purchaser's total life-cycle costs by specifying minimum design requirements and, where applicable, default criteria, while being flexible enough to meet the needs of a specific application.

This site houses the ​SOME working documents, meeting agendas and presentations, and other relevant material.

Please Note: Minutes and other member working documents are located on a SCCM secure page entitled "SOME Committee Docs" and require the user to log in from this home page.
