Editorial & Corrections Policy

1. Scientific & Mathematical Verification Standards

RMS to Watts exists to counter misleading audio marketing specifications by publishing calculations grounded exclusively in classical physics, Ohm's Law, Joule's First Law, and internationally recognized electroacoustic engineering standards:

• IEC 60268-5: Standardized continuous rated noise power protocols for sound system equipment voice coils.
• FTC 16 CFR Part 432: Continuous average power disclosure requirements for home entertainment audio amplifiers.
• IEEE 1459-2010: Mathematical definitions for active (real) power, reactive power, and apparent power under sinusoidal and distorted AC conditions.

2. Computational Determinism (Zero Generative AI Math)

All mathematical outputs, unit conversions, and SVG waveform diagrams across our 16 specialized tools are computed using deterministic, audited client-side JavaScript algorithms executed in your browser. We never use generative artificial intelligence or probabilistic language models to synthesize mathematical answers or engineering estimates.

3. Commercial Independence & Zero Monetization Bias

To preserve scientific objectivity:

• We do not accept paid manufacturer promotions, product placement fees, or sponsored gear reviews.
• We do not participate in affiliate advertising programs that receive sales commissions from recommended speaker or amplifier brands.
• All tools and documentation are provided free of charge as an open technical reference.

4. Corrections & Errata Protocol

We welcome peer review from audio engineers, academic researchers, electrical contractors, and DIY audio builders. If you identify a typographical error, formula edge-case boundary bug, or outdated technical citation:

1. Submit via Email: Send your findings to support@rmstowatts.com with the affected URL and reference standards.
2. Engineering Review: Our technical contributors evaluate reported discrepancies within 24 to 48 business hours.
3. Transparent Revision: Confirmed formula bugs are patched immediately in source code, with update timestamps preserved in our public XML sitemaps.
