Introduction

The Board of Directors is AATCC’s

governing body which administers its af-

fairs under the provisions of the Consti-

tution and Bylaws. AATCC Committees

are responsible for nearly every phase

of the Association’s activities. Thus, the

strength, vigor, and authority of the Asso-

ciation are derived from the broad partici-

pation of its membership.

These Rules of Procedure are the re-

sponsibility of the Executive Committee

on Research (ECR) which may amend or

change items included after consultation

with the Technical Committee on Re-

search (TCR) and subject to the Board of

Directors approval as long as they do not

conflict with the AATCC Constitution or

Bylaws.

A—Executive Committee on Research

A1. Function

A1.1 ECR is a standing committee of

the Board of Directors. This Committee

shall be responsible for establishing pol-

icy for, and programming of, all test

Board of Directors approval.

A1.2 ECR directives for the execution

of policy and program as approved by the

fairly considered and resolved.

A1.4 ECR is the supervisory body

within AATCC charged with the respon-

sibility to attest that the necessary proce-

dures have been followed and that the ap-

proval requirements set forth in these

procedures have been met. The role of

ECR in overseeing the development pro-

cedures and handling of negative votes at

the committee level is covered in G1.1

through G1.4. Letter ballots of TCR are

reviewed by a special Reviewing Com-

mittee consisting of the Chairs of ECR,

TCR and the Test Method Committee

concerned (G2).

C—Test Method Committees

C1. Function

C1.1 Test Method Committees are ap-

pointed to carry out specific technical

projects leading to the establishment of

AATCC Test Methods, the development

of scientific data or the assembly of infor-

mation for the benefit of the textile indus-

try and in the public interest.

Organization

C2.1 The organization of new commit-

tees or the development of proposed new

test methods is announced in AATCC’s

publication, printed or electronic and

other media of the press. Non-members

as well as AATCC members are invited

to participate in these activities. Non-

members are given every opportunity to

voice their opinion and are invited to be-

come members and can subsequently

have a voting interest. Non-members of-

ten provide the basis or request for a new

test method to be developed.

C2.1.1 Members of a Test Method

Committee must submit a committee ap-

plication request form to the Technical

department in order to join the commit-

tee. In order to be listed as a voting

member of a Test Method Committee,

their AATCC membership status and

company affiliation must be verified by

the Technical Department. See C4.

C2.1.2 Non-members may participate

fully at the Subcommittee (initial) stage

of test method development including in-

terlaboratory tests and voting.

C2.1.3 A tentative completion date for

development of any proposed new

method must be set by the Test Method

Committee and approved by ECR.

C2.2 Test Method Committee Chairs

are appointed after the Chair of TCR has

consulted with the Test Method Commit-

tee members concerned. Consultation

may be by voice vote of members present

at a regularly scheduled meeting or by

committee ballot of all voting members.

A Test Method Committee Chair must be

Individual Member of AATCC in good

standing with an active AATCC member-

ship in effect during their tenure as chair.

C2.2.1 The Chair of a Test Method

Committee may appoint the Sub-

committee and Steering Committee

Chairs. Members may also volunteer for

these role. No additional approval is re-

quired.

AATCC membership in effect during

their tenure may hold office in Test

Method Committees and Subcommittees;

i.e., Chair, Vice-Chair or Secretary.

C3.2 No member may be Chair of

more than two active Test Method Com-

mittees at one time.

C3.3 A member may not serve as Chair

of a Test Method Committee for three

years consecutively (see C3.3.1). This is

considered the term. Once the three year

term is up, after consulting the members

of the committee, the Chair may serve an

additional year in the role as Acting

Chair. No additional ERC approval is re-

quired for the year served as Acting Chair.

tee Chair, if there is an opening. ECR ap-

proval is required for the appointment.

C3.6 A committee cannot function

without a committee chair. If a committee

does not have anyone willing to serve as

the Chair, the Technical Director may

recommend moving the committee to ref-

erence status. The members will be

alerted using the ballot process. If no one

steps up to become chair the committee

will be moved to reference status. If there

non-voting member.

C4.4 There is only one voting member

per company per Test Method Committee

but other company members may be non-

voting members of the same Test Method

Committee. No more than one member of

an organization may be a voting member

zation may participate in committee ac-

tivities as non-voting members. All Lead-

ership and voting members of the Test
