ASTM International’s exoskeletons and exosuits committee ( F48 ) is developing a proposed standard that will provide a test method for vertical movement of exoskeletons in confined spaces. “The proposed standard will provide a test method for workers who must traverse manholes and other similar confined spaces while wearing an exoskeleton,” says ASTM International member Roger Bostelman. The…

A proposed ASTM International standard will provide a guide for cleaning and sanitizing exoskeletons used in the clinical environment. ASTM’s exoskeletons and exosuits committee (F48) is developing the proposed standard. Considerations covered in the proposed standard include, but are not limited to, biomatter, dirt, and perspiration collection. The guide will describe the process of critical…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org , Committee Contact:, Nora Nimmerichter, tel +1.610.832.9815; nnimmerichter@astm.org Release #11254 ###
