PEARL's Standard Moving Forward ANSI Approval
The PEARL/ANSI Reconditioning Standard committee has been hard at work reviewing comments on the Standard provided by the ballot pool and making changes based on these comments. This has been a great exercise, showing the committee what it takes to become an ANSI-approved provider. The next steps for the Standard is to wrap up addressing the final changes and submitting the revised version back to our ballot pool for further comments. This should be sent back to the ballot pool in the beginning of 2016.
