Amid the COVID-19 crisis and ongoing safety concerns for members and staff, ASTM International has announced all previously scheduled in-person June standards development meetings—including independent meetings—have been canceled.
Last month, ASTM International announced the cancellation of all May in-person meetings.
These decisions were based on several factors, including continued review of information and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization and other governmental bodies; input from ASTM International members whose organizations are increasingly concerned with travel; and specific information regarding the projected city restrictions in Boston and Washington, D.C., with input from the hotels.
ASTM International staff will be contacting committee leaders to plan alternatives for conducting committee business.
In March, ASTM International also announced it is providing 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 COVID-19 public health emergency.
