Presenter: Derek Duval

Since the establishment of the new technical committee, Fundamentals of Combustible Dusts (CMD-FUN), and a correlating committee (CMD-AAC) for the combustible dusts technical committees (CMD-AGR, CMD-CMM, CMD-HAP, and CMD-WOO), work has begun in the development of a new combustible dust standard focusing on the general requirements applicable to all types of combustible dusts. This session will provide an update of the committee activities, the state of the new standard and the affect on the other industries.
