New standards committee chair takes up the reins

20/05/2010
SATRA divisional manager Christine Ohren-Bird has been appointed as the new chair of British Standards Institute committee TCI/69.

She takes over the role from Richard Turner, who retired as SATRA chief executive in 2009 and served as chairman of TCI/69 for 34 years.

The TCI/69 technical committee establishes and maintains a suite of standards for footwear, leather and coated fabrics. It shadows the work of European committees CEN/TC289, CEN/TC309 and CEN/TC248/WG4, as well as international committee ISO/TC45/SC4.
