Emission factors for the Cast Polymer Open Molding Manufacturing Process:

Accepted into Standard October 5, 2011

ACMA has received the ANS Board of Standards approval of the petition to expand the current UEF standard to include emission factors for the cast polymer open molding process. The standard will now have the designation of ANSI/ACMA/ICPA UEF-1-2011a, Estimating Emission Factors from Open Molding and Other  Composite Processes

The ACMA is an ANSI approved standards developer, and the UEF committee is the relevant standards committee that is responsible for the maintenance and modification of this standard. This revision will aid our members in satisfying state and federal requirements for permit compliance and reporting emissions.
