Senate Bill #23^ - will require the use of warning labels on fibrous glass products. It v*a agreed that the Education and legislation Ccanittee shall esteb lish a long range program to combat such legislation. A sub-comoittee is to be set up to determine the program and its fusing. THERMAL INSULATION SOCIETY REQUEST The request from the Charleston, West Virginia Thermal Insulation Society to have NXMA furnish a speaker to talk on the subject of asbestosis was turned over to the Education and Legislation Committee* SMTCA The situation in Florida, where a contractor changed a specification fr*?. rigid board to a rigid round product was discussed* It was recommended that the meeting scheduled by the SMflA *n Miami, Florida, on February l*, 1?6S, `oe attended by individual manufacturers and not by NIKA. TV tz?r tests C. 2. Fmst reviewed the fire tests that were performed by Factory Mutual research Corn, on fibrous glass rectangular duct systems. C. 2. Ernst is to arrange to have FM run ealorineter tests on the four products. Copies of the tine-temperature charts are to be distributee to the Committee for evaluation. The technical group is to meet and establish s program that will enable better fire test results to be obtained. psiyrcRcsKSsrs The tests ere continuing and ere scheduled to be completed prior to May l, !?$$. 42 012 0940 \ .4. :rrxr ysgrryo pate The next scheduled Committee meeting will be in Chicago, Illinois, Janu ary 27, L',59, at 1:00 P.M. in J, M.
