New Standard Development Proposal
ASTM Committee C15 Manufactured Masonry Units
In an effort to evaluate the need for a new standard, the ASTM C15 Executive Committee requires the requestor of the proposed new standard to complete this form. This form must be completed and approved before work is started on the development of the new standard. The intent of this evaluation is to minimize the effort spent developing new standards that may be viewed as unnecessary, outside the committee’s scope, or that would be better developed by groups or organizations other than Committee C15.
Please respond to the following questions. Keep responses concise. Responses may be general in nature as long as they convey the necessary information for evaluation.
