FEDER.o. \TIIJ~l OF EUROP'Efui ~!AiiUFACTUREn.s OF 'Fl:l.ICTI0fl l'iATERIALS (:FEHF:'i) llr. Carrigan introduced ~1r. 'Robert Join, Secretary of the Federation of European Hanufactur~rs of Friction llaterials (FEi,!F'1), of Paris, France. Hr. Join was asked to update the I1embership on activities in Europe. "1r. Join indicated that there coritinue to be u.To mf!i-n areas of concern in Europe: (1) The approval of replacement brake linings. for. European vehicles where different from the ori!lina'l equipment linings-, and (2) 'the asbestos he!!llth questions in the European Economic Comnunity. !1r~ Join: indicated that there are ten European countries in the Community; but the Commission cannot pass i~s. It can only \-Trite directives, and then it is up to the member --colintry to put this directive into effect. The Commission recently drafted a directive on 'the protection of '-:orkers from exposure .to asb~stos. Hr. J~in indicated that this most recettt directive was most negative. to asbestos:,' arid while tpis is a draft directive at this time, a statenent~as made in_ that draft tO the effect ,that the truly safe approach would be to 'ban asbestos. . As ree:ards ~:qiosux:e to . asbestos from friction materials, --f.t was recommended in the draft that asbestos use be st0pped unless one eould.-prove'that the wqrk environment was totally free from asbestos using electron microscopy. As electron microscopy could detect minute amounts of very fine asbestos, this is a most strict inte~pretation of an asbestos-free environment. It r~as stated that European countries are. of course, permitted to promulgate laws and regulations more severe than_ th9se proposed by the Commission, and this_:is novr the case in Denmark. In addition, Nr. Join indicated other Commission recommendations, su~ as 0.25 fiber crocidolite and 1.0 fiber chrysotile limits for asbestos 'exposure, additional medical surveillance rules, and que~t;ions as, to whether. garage workers FMSI 07177 jinutes of the Annual iiernbership l!Ieeting -9- June 17-18; 1981 should be subject to the ~edical surveillance requi~e~ents of asbestos~products factory workers. .,.., "'.< ! :rr. Join was asked about requirements for rTaste disposal. in. Europe, and be replied anclthat plastic bags containing thewaste must be-buriea covered with one foot of earth, at a .site not to be used for subsequent develop~nt. A question was . asked concerning Government Inspectors using a light device to scan areas near factories for asbestos endssions. ~lr. Join reo lied that t.ltis may be inspection with li ~ht beaM devices (scanning 111ith a beam JO wide) using the Tyndall_Effect to detect fiber emissions in the air. It-lTas stated .that the EPA could ?,e looking in three ~.re::as of concerri: (1) water conta..,;inat:fon, (2} landfill r,rastet;,~nd (3) air enissions. .In 'this- case the inspectors .must be looking for a:irbo~e asbestos enfssions.

Pigg had addressed the Institute Membership at the 1980 ~ieetin~, and had been invited back to update the ~~embership based on the many c..~an~es in T,Tashington. '1r. Pi~g concentrated his remarks on the ~Tashington climate for asbestos to areas of con-cern for friction materials manufacturers. These areas-are the regula~ory climate at OSllA and EPA. In his remarks, iir. Pil)g advised that AlA had recommended to OSTIA that the NIOSH recomenaatitm of 0 o1 ~iber exposure-_; limit be rejected, and that the OSHA proposal for a reduction to 1.0 iber expesure limit be withdratm. ~-el!resentatives of AIA had sat drn..rn ,.7fth OSHA people, and they had been assured that the new Administration~':s approach t-9 OSTIA ~.rould be one of 'fairness and objectivi.ty. The !!'.ain areas of concern with EPA are nm-1 those of their Office of Toxic Substances (OTS). Representatives from AIA have sat dmm ~rith OTS personnel, '"'ho have targeted friction materials as well as asbestos-cement pipe and textiles as areas of principal interest. Hr. Pigg stated :that he felt the prospects are good for resolving issues af.fecting labeling and work ,practices,.' and -'that --they will continue to work with the regulatory agencies in atten';Jtinr; to resolve the i-ssues. In concluding, lir.: Pigg invited Institute Hembers to attend their Industry- Government Conference scheduled for September 16-17 this year in.Alexandria, Virzinia. ~lr. PiRg advised that he lmuld provide a copy of his remarks at the Institute meeting to Hr. Drislane for distribution to the Institute Members. : ! !1r. Pi~g had earlier responded to questions asled after Ur. Armstrong 1s and Ur. Join's remarks, and there were no additional questions. At the conclusion of Hr.

At the conclusion of his .;report, Nr. ~toore stated that he .had subsequently visited Sa~T~rass and had pe-rsonnal knm-rledge of Sandpiper Bay. He indicated that Sandpiper Bay was filled with several larger meetings,and it was possible that the Institute could be lost in the shuffle there. ~1eanwhile, he :had. visited Sm~grass, and now recommended it as the Number One location for June 1932. He indicated that Sawgrass was convenient to the Jacksonville Airport, the golf was good, and that there are excellent condominium type accomodations. He also stated that Sawgrass was particularly interested in groups such. as the Institute, because they were geared to handle groups with from 30 to 100 attendees. The Board of Directors had earlier accepted !'1r. !1oore 's report and had resolved that the--Institute would meet next year-at Sa~1grass during the week.of June 14, 1982.

Phil Grim, Chairman of the Data Book and Technical Col11Jilittee, delivered this report. l?.efer to E'G!IBIT 8. lir. Grim 7 s re~ort covered items that had been resolved by the Committee durin~ two meetings and ~-rith mail ballots .durin~ the year. ::.1\mong the :.items resolved v1ere questions on drillin~ changes in disc brake shoes,~ listing cif the combined lining-shoe asseT"bly number, the term '"'!!xed attachment" v1hen applied to disc brake packages includin3 an integrallt molded lining at one position ~-11th a riveted or bonded lininP; at the other, im~orted car :coveraPe, bralce shoe definitions, semi-metallic disc brake linin': listinzs, and off-highway block numbering. The most sip.nificaht reconmendation of the conM!ttee bad to do with thexe~ structuring of the tnstitute 's catalogs.. Hr. Grim described the alternatives. which the Committee considered such as lip,ht duty versus heavy duty Catalogs, passenger car:V.ersus truck cata1of:!s,- etc. The Committee; after considerable debate had resoived as follows;. :sThat the Institute's 11Automotive Data" Booku and !'Brake Shoe IdentificS:tion Catalo~'~ .be combined into one ,catalog listing the full designation and all available shoe information in the a1phabetical section, with lining and shoe numerical information and shoe illustrations after the alphabetical section.'' i:ir. Grim suggested a title for the net"-1 book along l-7ith several reasons for making this recommendation. This reoort had been delivered earlier at the Board of Directors meetin~, and the Committee's recommendation for a consolidated catalog had been approved. The Hembers were advised that the Secretary had recommended that the two catalogs be continued, with :the Data Book includinp: all lining and shoe information in the alphabeticalsection, and with the Shoe Catalog showin~ just shoes in numerical order and all !llustrations. The Secretary had sug-gested that thiS.t1Tould have several advanta~es:....:.primarily involvin~ printer -bids, ,,.ork load on the office, and the option for the !!ember to purchase only that catalog information he wished. These recommendations were considered,.but the Board supported the Conuidttee's recommendations. A question-was asked about including the block illustrations from the Brake Block Identification Cataloe. :1r. Grim stated that this had been considered but w~snot recommended for several reasons--new blocks are not released that often, and th'! block catalog normally has a life of about 4 years. Incorporating this information 7ould add to the bulk and cost of the catalog. There is a marked movement towards discs for the heavies, which will probably be infull swing by the mid 1980's. The Committee made~he reconnnendation for combining the Data Book and Shoe Catalog information as the most economical approach. A !lemb!'!r asked if the Institute could show the drilline of disc brake shoes in the Brake Shoe Identification Catalog. This l-tould be the drilling for riveted attachment--not the drilling or piercinP, for integrally molding. It was pointed out .tbat in the "1981 Supplement to the 1980 Brake Shoe .Identification Catalog: that the Institute indicates drilling as illustrated by the note under the Dl59 and D18~ Outer: Dl59>-0 takes 7070B (6 hole) drillin:r, and Dl83-o takes 7070C (8 hole) d"rilling.
