Ninth volume of Spindrift started

Coming into the summer season, and just about to finish the July-August issue of Spindrift, it just suddenly gets me that we now produce the ninth season of Spindrift. How time flies! Besides producing Spindrift we also engage in the development of ISO standards, as well as conducting consulting and audits for certifications. I fear we are quite poor at updating this web site to reflect those activities (can we blame it on being very busy? – probably not). So the promise for this ninth season is to keep this web site more alive, create more content here, and make weekly updates. Stay tuned, as the saying goes!
