Fletcher will continue his role as chairman of D01 Sub-committee D01.23: Physical Properties of Applied Paint Films, which holds its Task Group and Sub-committee meetings on the Mondays when the D01 Committees meet. The D01.23 Sub-committee has 31 standards under its jurisdiction.

The Committee is supported by approximately 30 technical sub-committees and a further seven administrative committees. D01 is responsible for a total of more than 675 individual standard test methods, practices and guides, which are published in the Annual Book of ASTM Standards, Volumes 6.01, 6.02, 6.03, and 6.04.
These standards have and continue to play a pre-eminent role in all aspects important to the coatings industry including: classification, sampling, preparation, components, application, analysis, quality assurance and end-use performance requirements.
