Such a measure is of impor tance to the carpet industry because, at present, none of the half-dozen toxicity tests in use throughout the country can be used to accurately test non uniform, composite structures such as carpet and rugs. The National Bureau of Standards, which authored the best known of these tests, has conceded, for example, that its protocol is a research tool and should not be used for regulatory purposes. Consequently, there is con * Continuedonpege * Oct. 5 and 6. The event, which will run from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. on both days, is being spon sored by the Floor Covering As sociation of Arizona. Market co-chairm an Dan Bienenfeld reported that this is the association's first effort at organizing a regional market. It is being put together, he said, for the benefit of those retailers w ho are unable to attend the major markets in Dallas and San Francisco. D ealers from A rizon a, California, New Mexico, Texas and Nevada are expected to attend the show. The exhibitors wiil feature a broad range of products, from residential and contract carpet, area rugs, resil ient and wood flooring, to tools, supplies, accessories, displays and cleaning equipment. A fiber panel featuring repre sentatives from Allied, DuPont and Monsanto, will open the market w ith a presentation at i p.m. on Oct. 5. No reservations are required.

In the contract field, he by Bob Barrett NEW YORK CITY--In the next four to six m onths, the issu e o f asbestos and the health hazards it m ay cause w ill "create a panic in the U.S." that w ill have w id e effects on the floor covering industry, predicted Ingvar Backhamre, president of Tarkett, Inc. Not only will resil ient sheet vinyl manufacturers be hurt until they can replace products containing asbestos with those that do not, but dis tributors w ho inventory these products w ill suffer financial losses when they cannot sell it, he said. Speaking in a recent inter view with Floor Covering Weekly, Backhamre also pre dicted that if U.S. manufac turers do not begin producing asbestos-free flooring within a Far East Expo, T oxicity Updated At CRI M eeting DALTON, G A .~M ore than 100 members of the Carpet & Rug Institute attending its sec ond membership meeting of the year were told that the Dept, of Commerce has endorsed the CRTs traveling minimarket program to the Far East, and that steps were underway to Cwllnvod on pago 13 pursue the question of carpet Spirer Appointed Sales Manager At Southland Moors P o m p a n o b e a c h , F la.TM Sidney Spirer has been appointed field sales manager of all d iv iso n s bv Southland FIoots, Inc,, ac c o rd in g to toxicity in relation to hotel fires.

"If you look at the 10 biggest distributors today and the 10 biggest at the end of 1983, I would guess that there will be at least a 50% change in the group," he predicted. Adds Distributors Tarkett has added several dis tributors to its network in the year since it acquired GAF. Among these are AW Indus tries, Baltimore; Floor Services, Spokane, Wash.; Architectural Floors, Chicago; Flooring Tech nology, Houston; Rodefeld, Indianapolis; Akers & Chrysler, A u b u rn , M e., and I.H Hershner, York, Fa. Many of these distributors have dropped their former resil ient lines and picked up Tarkett because of the asbestos issue, said Backhamre. "There is no question about what this product can do to you, and no question about the legal and liability confusion going on," said jack Lee, vice president of marketing. "There is no question of what the man in the street thinks about it, and no question of what is going to happen to the value of these products."

Retailers, once they are aware of (he con sumers' concerns, and see that they will ask for non-asbestos products, will follow. And builders, who will have trouble renting or selling space that co n ta in s produ cts w ith asbestos, will also react "The risk from the manufac turing point of view," said Backhamre, "is that if the U.S. manufacturers do not drop asbestos in time, it will open up the market for Europeans, and that can change the whole flooring industry." Asbestos is used as a filler in vinyl floor products. With seven years of experience in research and development, Backhamre said there are ade- quate substitutes that do not affect the quality of the product. Responsibilities Cited "We are very concerned about our responsibilities as manufacturers," he said. "We have responsibilities to our dis tributors, retailers, builders, consumers and employees. The U.S. manufacturers have not yet taken full responsibility," he contended. Tarkett had tried for many years to enter the U.S, market, but was unable to establish a sufficient distributor network until it acquired GAF last year. "The U.S. is a big country, and it was important for us to be here," said Backhamre.

No C arpet Sales hour is 40 minutes." The bad economy has helped Tarkett establish itself here. It has kept Tarkett's competition from being as aggressive as it could be, believes Backhamre, which has allowed Tarkett to make inroads. "When the bad econom y stops, w e w ill be ready." Tarkett w ill be ready with more than resilient sheet vinyl and tile. The managers believe in a package approach to the marketplace, w ith several prod ucts being offered. "But these have to be the right products," said Backhamre. For Tarkett, this includes contract vinyl, D1Y flooring and hardwood, in addition to its general line. This Despite some interest in a couple of carpet manufacturers in the U.S., Backhamre was insistent that the firm will not get involved in the earpet industry "as Song as I am presi dent of Tarkett, Inc. A6 a manufacturer, there is not enough profit." Tarkett has "ust launched the first phase of a five-year plan to inform the consumer of the Tarkett name," said Muller. Advertising in the traditional women's service magazines is spearheading the campaign, The company is also plan ning to introduce "a revolu tionary sheet vinyl product before the end of the year," said Backhamre.

"W hen they are having a special event, they do not go after publicity. As long as you do not abuse the privilege, most local newspapers welcome the story ideas." Riddle tries to measure the end results of all of the advertis ing and publicity campaigns he runs. But this event, he said, was hard to measure because it was geared to draw attention to the stores, rather than generate sales for a particular day.
