Despite the pandemic, standards development has been robust with increased committee participation despite the challenges !  This presentation will provide an overview and update on developing IAQ related standards in ASTM and ISO , such as PRV, micro vacuuming, legionella, sampling strategy and more.  Highlights of the standard drafts as well as the obstacles and issues being debated will be presented.

Takeaway:

Understanding how true consensus standards are developed and that everyone can and should participate. Recognizing that consensus is the strong foundation on which strong practices are built.  Knowing what guidance standards and documents are available to inform and improve best IAQ practices.
