RE: JIC

The Joint Industry Council (JIC) was an organization of interested companies and associations primarily concerned with safety, efficiency and maintenance of electrical apparatus as related to machine tools and similar industrial equipment. This concern lead to the publication of two Advisory Standards.

EMP-1 'Electrical Standards for Mass Production Equipment'

EGP-1 'Electrical Standards for General Purpose Machine Tools'

Joint Industry Council - 7901 Westpark Drive, McLean, VA
22101

Now called:
National Machine Tool Builders Association

RE: JIC

It probably means that they want the format of the actual drawings themselves to conform to JIC standards, i.e. symbols, nomenclature, drawing sizes etc. Usually that requirement is added because if the machinery comes from another country where IEC standards are used, electricians in North America generally cannot recognize the symbols, terminology for actions may not mean the same thing and printers cannot match the drawing sizes used.
