ASFE’s Construction Materials Engineering and Testing Committee has developed two new model advisories for immediate use by ASFE-Member Firms that provide construction materials engineering and testing (CoMET) services: Important Information about This Construction Materials Engineering and Testing (CoMET) Quality-Assurance Proposal and Important Information about This Construction Materials Engineering and Testing (CoMET) Quality-Assurance Report. ASFE-Member Firms can download both free of charge at asfe.org.

The new proposal advisory is designed for insertion into proposals, to provide guidance from an industrywide, professionwide perspective. Nonetheless, the .pdf version is accompanied by a members-only MSWord version, permitting ASFE-Member Firms to modify the language; modified wording cannot display the ASFE logo, however, nor may it be treated as an ASFE document. A members-only MSWord version of the report advisory also is provided, both to permit modifications and to facilitate having the language imprinted onto the back of various daily field report and similar forms. Only ASFE-Member Firms are permitted to use .pdf versions of the document as inserts.
