Success for the work of FEPPD!
The lobbying of FEPPD concerning the limitation of the use of Beryllium has proved to be successful! The ISO working group TC 106 / SC 2 decided to include the resolution of CEN/TC 55 in all new future or currently being revised norms on alloys. This means that according to all norms the use of Beryllium is restricted to 0.02% of the mass. A great success for FEPPD!
