Sponsored by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), Chief Terminologist and Co-Director of MedL10N, Uwe Muegge, will represent CSOFT as one of the 39 committee members. Passionate about quality practices and results, Muegge's vast experience in the localization industry makes him a strong and valued contributor.

"I'm honored to be involved in such a wonderful opportunity. ASTM represents the very best of quality assurance through its preventative measures," says Muegge, "To be able to participate from the initial stages in something that will positively resonate within the industry is a great honor and challenge. It is especially enjoyable to be able to work and share ideas with other professionals with similar interests."

ASTM is an internationally recognized organization, with 30,000 current members from 135 countries.

The newly formed committee on Foreign Language Services and Products, identified as Committee F43, is divided into five subcategories.
