ASTM International Committee D10 on Packaging plans to update its scope to better reflect the standards it oversees. The change is expected to be approved at D10’s October meeting, during which the committee will also discuss some of the significant changes its standards are undergoing, including ASTM D4169.
Earlier this year, both ASTM Committees D10 and F02 on Flexible Barrier Packaging had begun reviewing their scopes and standards to determine whether there was any overlap. “D10 and F02 are fairly closely aligned, with some overlap in committee members,” says Larry Anderson, chairman of ASTM Committee D10 and vice president, operations, for TEN-E. “Through this process, it became apparent that there was overlap in scope.”
