CRMD monitors regulatory developments of government agencies such as OSHA, FDA, EPA and the Department of Commerce that could affect the industry. Data on specific types of cases are provided in each major group. The report also tracks data on various types of mechanical systems. Participation in the report is open to CRMD Members only. The monthly data is compiled by ARI's statistical department and maintained under strict confidentiality.
Companies reporting data receive copies of the summary reports.
CRMD participates jointly with these groups in addressing common issues and in specific business coalitions such as the Frozen Food Roundtable and the Alliance for Responsible Atmospheric Policy. International and U.S. environmental policy, the scientific bases for global warming and ozone depletion, demonstration projects using CFC alternatives, economic issues, structural changes and trends in the U.S. supermarket industry and foreign trade opportunities are but a few of the topics from recent programs. The program format and topics are selected by executive leaders to best serve common industry interests.
