NALFA presses its influence in international standards arena

The North American Laminate Flooring Association (NALFA) recently hosted the 2004 ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Flooring Conference in Key West, Fla. Attendees discussed updated standards and improved testing methods for laminate flooring. Representatives from eight European countries attended, along with several NALFA representatives.

"NALFA is very pleased to be taking a more active role in the international standards dialogue," said Bill Dearing, president of NALFA. "This meeting provided us with an excellent opportunity to learn what our international counterparts are doing and allowed us to share our latest standards and testing methods with producers around the world."
