Stsndqrds of Prqctice Recommended For Acousficql Mcrteriqls Industry

Manufacturers, distributors, users, and others associated with the acoustical materials industry are considering a proposed Simplified Practice Recommendation intended to eliminate avoidable r.vaste in production, distribution, aud stocking of acoustical products, according to the Commodity Standards Division, U.S. Department of Commerce. The recommendation covers standard stock sizes, thicknesses, and edge treatments for nine types of acoustical tile and board.

As described in the recommendation, a major probler-n now exists, in that each time a new thickness, size, or edge treatment of prefabricated acoustical material is introduced, competitors feel obliged to match the innovation with a similar product. This has resulted in superfluous variations which 6ave increased production costs, necessitated additional warehouse space, and added to service difficulties.

The Commodity Standards Division was requestecl by the Acoustical Materials Association to cooDerate with tl-re industry in establishing the recommendation. Copies of the proposed Recommendation are available on request fronr E. J. McCamley, Commodity Standards Division, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington 25, D.C.
