Re: ASTM D22.08 Guide
Posted by Donald Weekes on 11/06/08
Hello, RD: It is my thought that the WK-3792 will be issued in the spring of 2009. BTW:
ASTM will be sponsoring a Johnson Conference on the Standardization of Mold
Response Procedures in Burlington, VT on July 13-15, 2009. Here is the link: http://www.astm.org/MEETINGS/COMMIT/d22symp0709.htm Ed Light is one of the co-Chairs of the Conference, as well as the lead on the
WK-3792 Guide. Don
