ASTM International Committee D08 on Roofing and Waterproofing is developing a standard for two asphalt products that reduce air emissions, save energy and benefit workers by lowering their exposure to asphalt fumes. The proposed standard (WK45660, originally titled Specification for Low Temperature Application Asphalt Used In Roofing) covers asphalt that has significantly lower application…, ASTM Committee D08 on Roofing and Waterproofing Next Meeting:, June 14-17, 2015, June Committee Week, Anaheim, Calif., Media Inquiries:, Nathan Osburn, tel +1.610.832.9603; nosburn@astm.org, Technical Contact:, Dave Trumbore, Owens Corning, tel +1.773.746.7278; dave.trumbore@owenscorning.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Joseph Hugo, tel +1.610.832.9740; jhugo@astm.org Release #9860 ###

A proposed ASTM standard will meet the need for a method that labs can follow when testing samples for mold. The proposed standard (WK17177, Test Method for Examination of Fungal Structures on Tape Lift Samples by Optical Microscopy) will provide labs with an approach based on quality and science. The primary users of the standard will be labs that provide services in the fields of occupational…, Committee D22 on Air Quality Next Meeting:, April 26-May 1, 2015, April committee week, Anaheim, Calif., Media Inquiries:, Nathan Osburn, tel +1.610.832.9603; nosburn@astm.org, Technical Contact:, Terri L.

Maybe you haven’t given much thought to the growth of interlaminar cracks, or cracks in between layers, in laminated composite materials. Perhaps you should though, because such materials are everywhere and interlaminar cracks can cause serious damage to many types of structures and products, from sports equipment to spacecraft. This is why a new ASTM standard, D7905/D7905M , Test Method for…, Technical Contact:, Barry D.

Keeping used materials out of landfills is a central goal of any industry that is attempting to become more sustainable. Finding creative ways to repurpose these materials is an added challenge, but one that ASTM International Committee D08 on Roofing and Waterproofing has begun to tackle with a proposed new standard, ASTM WK46625 , Guide for Establishing a Recycle Program for Roof Covers. “With…, ASTM Committee D08 Next Meeting:, Dec. 7-10, December Committee Week, New Orleans, La., Technical Contact:, Joseph J.

If you have a roof over your head, chances are very good that you have flashing over your head as well. Flashing serves as part of the weather resistant barrier systems that keep water from getting into a structure. A proposed new ASTM International guide will satisfy a market need for a standard to define durable flashing and will create a level playing field for flashing manufacturers.

Excess moisture trapped in roofing or waterproofing systems can adversely affect performance, as well as lead to premature failure of a system and its components. Using an electrical impedance scanner is a fast and relatively easy way to conduct moisture surveys of roofing and waterproofing systems. A new ASTM International standard covers the use of electrical impedance scanners to monitor the…, ASTM Committee D08 Next Meeting:, Dec. 7-10, 2014, December Committee Week, New Orleans, La., Technical Contact:, Sean Fallon, Sean Fallon Consulting, Dublin, Ireland, Phone: +353-1-2851861; seanfallon14@gmail.com , ASTM Staff Contact:, Joseph Hugo, Phone: 610-832-9740; jhugo@astm.org, ASTM PR Contact:, Barbara Schindler, Phone: 610-832-9603; bschindl@astm.org Release #9674

Taking a tape-lift sample is one of the main practices used by indoor environmental quality investigators for detecting whether mold structures (for example, spores and hyphae) have either settled onto or colonized the surface. Despite the popularity of the method, there can be significant inconsistency in how tape lifts are collected. A new ASTM standard, ASTM D7910 , Practice for the Collection…, ASTM Committee D22 Next Meeting:, Oct. 5-8, 2014, October Committee Week, New Orleans, La., Technical Contact:, John M.
