ASTM International’s committee on pesticides, antimicrobials, and alternative control agents ( E35 ) has approved a new standard that will be used to help mimic how surfaces are contaminated by microbial material. The new standard will soon be published as E3285. “Many existing test methods employ long contact times, high concentration of bacteria or immersion in fluid,” says ASTM International…

A proposed ASTM International standard will establish a test method for obtaining acceleration data on water slides using human test subjects. ASTM International’s amusement rides and devices committee ( F24 ) is developing the proposed standard. Data obtained through the standard is crucial to developing and calculating the expected forces riders feel on a water slide. The level of these forces…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel+1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Katerina Koperna tel +1.610.832.9728; kkoperna@astm.org Release #11216 ###
