Statistics in ASTM Standard Test Method Development, Application, and Quality Assurance - eLearning Course


ASTM International seeks to strengthen the global fuel community with insight and expertise not only to benefit the members of ASTM but also the worldwide community. The subcommittee D02.93 on International Standards and Related Activities coordinates the committee’s events for liaison and cooperation with worldwide standardization organizations for all fuels in all applications and associated products. Within the subcommittee, the global updates and international liaison reports group (D02.93.02) specifically addresses the coordination of updates from the numerous countries involved with ASTM International’s petroleum products, liquid fuels and lubricants committee. The current reports encompass biofuels and marine fuels. The goal is to broaden the existing reports and add more that include aviation fuels, liquefied petroleum gas, gasolines, distillates, lubricants, oils, hydraulic fuels, and other hydrocarbons to just name a few. The listing of standards published by D02 will highlight the extensive reach of this ASTM committee. While membership to ASTM is always encouraged, it is not required to provide information and engage in dialogue.

HOW TO: NOMINATE AN ASTM EMERGING PROFESSIONAL


ASTM International’s program for Emerging Professionals (EP) provides an opportunity for new members who demonstrate the potential to be leaders within their committee and industry at large. The EP program provides in-depth training on the ASTM process four times throughout the year. These sessions are held at the June, June D02, October, and November committee weeks. In addition to process training, selected EPs are provided with a facilitated leadership development training that covers skills such as negotiation, consensus building, and problem solving. Committees are welcome to identify and nominate an EP. A selection committee made up of ASTM staff managers reviews all nominations and decides which candidates will be invited to participate in each workshop. Committees who meet independently are still invited to nominate EPs if the nominee has travel approval for the EP workshop. (Logistics can be coordinated with ASTM staff.) Ten participants are chosen for each committee week.


The value of nominating an EP is that it prepares a pipeline of future leaders. Succession planning is an important part of long- range planning and identifying those with potential encourages their continued engagement early in their ASTM career. If selected, EPs can attend a technical committee meeting if it aligns with the timing of the program.


Now in its seventh year, ASTM is pleased to support future leaders by funding the EP program. Funding includes: • Round-trip domestic economy airfare to and from the committee week. • Two-night accommodations at the committee week hotel. • Complimentary participation in Clifton Strengths assessment, a program that identifies an individual’s top five strengths, along with an invitation to a virtual workshop to help integrate this insight into that person’s career-development plans.


SOIL AND BIOSOLID ANALYSIS


ASTM International’s waste management committee (D34) has approved a new standard to analyze soils and biosolids for potential contamination from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). “PFAS contamination is of growing concern around the world,” says ASTM member William Lipps, general manager, government and regulatory business development/international standards development, Shimadzu Scientific Instruments. “ASTM’s water committee (D19) has developed two methods for PFAS in water (D7979 and D8421), but there is a need for PFAS methods in solid matrices.” According to Lipps, municipalities have been applying biosolids to soil surfaces at various sites for years, including agricultural land, forests, mine reclamation areas, parks, and golf courses. “Unfortunately, it may be possible that these biosolid materials contained PFAS,” says Lipps. “This new standard is a rapid, cost-effective method with known precision and accuracy that can be used by laboratories to assess PFAS contamination in these types of samples.” According to Lipps, the test method is designed to minimize


materials required for extraction, including plastic products, SPE media, and solvent usage. Lipps notes that the standard (D8535) has been approved with a single lab study that included four soil matrices, and four biosolid matrices, each analyzed in triplicate at three different concentrations. Committee D34 plans to conduct an interlaboratory study for D8535. Interested laboratories are invited to participate.
