The American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM), which operates over 12 000 standards worldwide, has circulated for ballot a new standard method for analysis of “blooming” of brominated flame retardants on the surface of polymers. Comments will be discussed at the next ASTM D20 meeting in April 2019 in Denver.
