Sylvia Hillier our Textile Testing Expert attended the ISO TC 38 meetings in September located in Beijing, China. The ISO meetings are held every two years and bring together members of the working groups, sub-committees, ending in the plenary meeting of ISO TC38.

The meetings were very successful and of significant importance this year for the UK as for many years of holding the Chair & Secretariat of ISO TC38, it has now been handed over to China & Japan Standards Organization Bodies as a joint venture.

The meetings was attended by key members of the committees from across the globe, and included Bob Lattie of SDL Atlas, who represented the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), and Sylvia Hillier of Tinius Olsen, who was part of the UK delegation from the British Standards Institute. Both Tinius Olsen and SDL Atlas have taken an active role in International Standardisation for many years along with many other companies within the global Textile Industry.
