standards organizations (ASTM, ANSI or AARST) currently working on radon
standards in the United States.
COMMENT
PERIOD is 60 DAYS –CLOSES JUNE 28, 2009
The
State of Pennsylvania Radon Program has recently been developing a potential
chamber policy that could be useful not only for their state’s own regulated
program but also for non-regulatory states, tribes and other jurisdictions.
Leaders in accredited standards organizations, as well as within the radon
community and many state radon programs are seeking public discussion and
feedback from the radon professional community on the proposed PA Chamber Policy
(as a national discussion topic only), including:
Initial
conceptual comments on need and scope and priority of a national chamber
standard
Initial
technical suggestions on such a draft policy
Whether the
policy is a basis for a working group or a standards to create a national
interim protocol that would lead eventually to a consensus standard
What
stakeholder groups should be involved in the creation of such a chamber
standard
Expression
of interest by stakeholder groups and individuals to work on
A interim
national chamber protocol
Consensus
standards committees and workgroups
Important
Notice:
This is neither a regulatory nor an official standards process but an initial
discussion with the radon professional community on the scope and need for such
policies and standards. It is not associated with an accredited standards
program or any state or federal regulatory program. Read the Draft
Pennsylvania Policy For Discussion and Comment » Please
post your comments on the discussion the Radon Leaders Saving Lives Portal
Discussion Group over the next 60 days – and no later than June 28, 2009.
You comments may assist in the development of a national standard
and recognized protocols for chambers and device calibration.
