ASTM International changes January committee week meeting to virtual

W. Conshohocken, PA – In light of COVID-19 (coronavirus) and ongoing safety concerns for members and staff, ASTM International announced that the January in-person standards development meetings in Houston, Texas, USA, are now transitioning to all virtual.

ASTM International staff will be contacting committee leaders to plan for virtual meetings or other alternatives for conducting committee business. Decisions about upcoming independent meetings will be made by the respective executive subcommittees working with ASTM headquarters.

Looking forward, ASTM International will rely on these and other relevant criteria and input points to assess the status of ASTM’s future standards development meetings and events.

In 2020, ASTM International announced no-cost public access to a suite of more than two dozen standards used in the production and testing of personal protective equipment to combat the coronavirus public health emergency. For more information, visit www.astm.org/COVID-19/.
