Q-Lab’s Doug Grossman honoured

Q-Lab, a leader in accelerated weathering equipment and outdoor exposure test services, is pleased to announce that Mr Doug Grossman recently received the prestigious Warren Ketola Memorial Award.

The award is given in memory of Warren Ketola, a pioneer in weathering testing at 3M. Mr Ketola was responsible for many of the early G03 weathering standards currently used throughout the world. Doug received the award during a special reception at the ASTM G03 Committee meeting held on January 25 in San Antonio. Mr Grossman received the award due to his ground-breaking work with Warren Ketola and his unequivocal support of ASTM G03 over the past three decades. Their joint efforts paved the way for the committee’s current success. Doug was also the first and most emphatic proponent of the following principle, "The purpose of standards is to convey information to people who don’t already know it. Make things simple and clear.”
