ISO 7507 -4 Document - Revision and ballot comments- resolution completed. Document forwarded for
processing toward publication.

New work proposal has been submitted for approval in revising tank calibration standards on Horizontal Tanks
(12917 Parts 1 and 2) to include uncertainty analysis

Subject to approval of the new work items, next meeting is likely to be held in Vienna, Austria some time in
September 2009
