In light of COVID-19 and ongoing safety concerns for members and staff, ASTM International announced that all previously scheduled April–June in-person standards development meetings have been transitioned to virtual. This includes D02 and independent meetings.
The decision was based on several factors, including, but not limited to:
- Continued review of information and recommendations from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and other governmental bodies;
- Input from ASTM International members concerned with travel; and
- Specific information on the projected city restrictions in Toronto, Ontario, CA, and other cities, with input from hotels in those areas.
ASTM International staff will contact committee leaders to plan for virtual meetings or other alternatives for conducting committee business.
Looking forward, ASTM International will rely on these and other relevant criteria to assess the status of future standards development meetings.
