The American Boat & Yacht Council announced that its annual Standards Week is scheduled for Jan. 11-15 at the Francis Marion Hotel in Charleston, S.C.
ABYC standards are regularly reviewed to reflect new technology, safety and best practices. Each is evaluated at least every five years, and an annual supplement to Standards and Technical Information Reports for Small Craft incorporates the latest updates to major systems and other critical components. The culmination of this process, Standards Week brings Project Technical Committees together to discuss proposed new and revised standards.
“With the recent release of Supplement 65, now is the perfect time to get involved,” ABYC technical director Brian Goodwin said in a statement. “Standards Week participants help shape the next updates, gain an edge in new-product development and enjoy unmatched connections with the industry’s top experts and safety advocates.”
ABYC will also hold its annual meeting during Standards Week.
Registration opens in September. More information is available on the ABYC website.
