Dear Colleagues, Today, we have uploaded the following Draft Recommendation onto the Members' page (www.oiml.org/members/) for CIML online ballot and comment: Revision of R 100 "Atomic absorption spectrometer systems for measuring metal pollutants in water". The deadline for votes is 4 October 2010. More information is included in the Zip file available on www.oiml.org/members/ Please remember: 1 - That it is one of your responsibilities as CIML Member to vote on draft publications submitted for CIML direct online approval or for CIML ballot. The "Directives for the technical work" also require you to give reasons for an abstention or a negative vote. 2 - That the importance of timely online voting in order to accelerate the OIML's technical work has been stressed at all recent CIML Meetings. I will therefore be following closely the response to this ballot and reporting in detail on it to the Presidential Council and to the CIML. I am the BIML Contact Person for this Draft Recommendation. If you have any questions on the Draft or on the approval procedure, please contact me as soon as possible. Best regards, Ian Dunmill Assistant Director, BIML
