The aim of the standard is to address a need for guidance on methodologies, procedures, and other supporting material that will ensure a consistent and effective approach to managing the testing and remediation of affected properties and treatment of their contents.
The committee will hold its first meeting at the end of June 2016. A draft of the standard will be prepared and released for public comment later in 2016 for a period of 2 months. The final standard is expected to be published between the end of January and June 2017, depending on factors such as the range and complexity of comments received from public consultation.
Note: Nardene Reynolds is replacing Naomi Hosted, but this has yet to be approved by the Board.
