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.
