Can we please add a Sensor Unit for (Relative) Humidity to be called

UNITS_PERCENT.

I have a Humidity Sensor whihc I can define as SENS_HUMIDITY from table A-12, but no way of declaring corresponding units.

UNITS_PERCENT would be useful for a number of things.

Adding it requires opening the document. If we have to have another go around on the current Errata for some reason we can add it then, otherwise more likely it will need to go in the bucket for the next Errata.

I would have use for UNIT_PERCENT as well.

Could UNITS_PERCENT be added simply by including table A-13 in the extras listed at http://www.esta.org/tsp/working_groups/CP/RDMextras.html ?

I don't think the standard references to additional information at the website as it does with B-2 etc.
In that case the core document would have to be opened t adding the constant, or adding a reference to the website I think.

Mike is correct.

The standard only specifically points to the two tables in Appendix B and C being extended on the website. At the time it was a bit of a battle getting it approved to do that as it was a new and unrecognized process.
