ASTM International
ASTM International, (www.astm.org) established in 1898 and originally known as the American Society for Testing and Materials, is an international organization that develops and publishes voluntary consensus standards used around the world for a wide variety of materials, products, systems and services. Technical fields range from chemical products, energy and building construction—to medical devices, consumer products and nanotechnology. Headquartered in West Conshohocken, Pa., ASTM International also has offices in Beijing and Mexico City.
ASTM’s 12,000 specifications, test methods, guides and practices are developed and maintained in an open and balanced consensus process involving 30,000 members, from 142 countries. ASTM International standards are accepted and used globally in research & development, product testing, quality systems and commercial transactions. They facilitate trade, lower production costs and position companies to produce products that meet users’ needs for quality, reliability and safety.
