The ASTM F08.65 Artificial Turf Surfaces and Systems subcommittee will be meeting May 6-8. The highlight of the meeting is to vote on lowering its F-355 g-max standard from 200 to 165, which will align its standard with the STC’s g-max guideline (see STC Guidelines for Synthetic Turf Performance). To vote on this historic and long overdue change, you need to be a member of ASTM at a annual cost of $75, and a member of the F08.65 subcommittee, which you can join as soon as you become an ASTM member. You may vote in person or by proxy.
