ASTM International’s committee on building and environmental acoustics ( E33 ) is developing a new standard guide for estimating the accuracy of acoustic test methods through interlaboratory studies (ILS). These acoustic test methods are used to measure acoustical performance of products like doors, windows, and wall systems, to compare amongst them and to develop new products. This new standard…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kelly Paul, tel +1.610.832.9666; kpaul@astm.org Release #11498 ###

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…
