ASTM Publishes Standard for Measurement of pH Below Resilient Flooring
ASTM International has published its ASTM F3441-23 guidelines for measuring pH below resilient flooring installations. This standard has been in the making for more than six years through the guidance of the F06 Committee headed by Dean Craft, principal, ISE Logik.
In 1998, ASTM published the F710 standard practice to prepare a concrete slab for resilient flooring. The pH testing requirement resided under F710 until 2021. According to Craft, "This all began around 2016. The idea was to remove pH from F710, but at the same time or before, create a standalone standard so the industry was not left without."
