Summary of discussions/activities/document reviews during the most recent WG meeting.

• STM7.1 is up for 5-year review. We discussed changes that need to be made. All changes to be made involve changes suggested by the Factory Task Team to make all test methods consistent.  These include removing the lower limit from the scope, removing the moderate humidity procedure, adding a meter verification procedure, updating the required reporting section.  Even though Acceptance Testing is generally being removed from other test methods, we felt it was important to keep this for flooring since it is important to validate a flooring system after it is installed.

The committee continued reviewing and revising ESD TR7.0-01.
