Digest 4 - Re: Was Re: ASTM Conference on Mold - now Tony on

Regarding:

" As Editor of the AIHA Green Book, I have had the opportunity to hear

from the AIHA's legal counsel the issue of 'No Formal' policy vs. 'de

facto' policy. In his legal view, the AIHA publications on a

particular issue (such as mold) are considered 'de facto' AIHA

policies because the review process of the publications includes

other Technical Committees as well as the AIHA Board of Directors.

Technical guidance on an issue like mold, when it is subject to the

rigorous review that AIHA undertakes BEFORE it publishes, does lend

itself to the creation of 'de facto' policy for the association. "

Questions:

1. Did all of the IEQ Committee review the publication and approve it

before publication? If not, why not?

2. Which other committees were solicited for comment?

3. Who were the external reviewers?
