What is JPMAs stance on federal efforts to ban drop-sides?
JPMA members led the way in eliminating traditional drop sides from the voluntary standard in 2009 and we were instrumental in providing tremendous resources in terms of technical expertise, testing, manpower and dollars to answer Chairman Tenenbaum’s call for making this standard mandatory. We are on record as favoring adoption of the ASTM standard as a mandatory federal regulation and are ahead of the federal government in this regard.
