The global chemical industry and ASTM International have partnered for more than 100 years. Today, ASTM standards contribute to research, production, and environmental safety and to thousands of finished products manufactured from rubber, plastics, and raw materials.


Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, uses computer-aided design to build objects layer by layer. Several ASTM International technical committees write standards related to this growing field.


Helping ensure aircraft are safe in the sky and on the ground, addressing some of the smallest parts of a private plane to the largest concerns of international airlines, a number of ASTM International committees develop standards critical to aircraft construction, parts manufacturing, maintenance and aviation fuel.


For more than a century, the global building industry has partnered with ASTM International to support the high quality design, construction and performance of homes, offices and other facilities around the world. Through its diverse range of technical standards and related products and solutions, ASTM helps buildings rise safely and economically while empowering industry stakeholders to respond to changing market requirements and evolving consumer needs.


ASTM International standards contribute to public infrastructure project success. By supporting the science and technology of highway construction, safety, maintenance, and sustainability, standards ensure that roads are reliable, safe, and durable. Standards off er quality and performance for good returns on infrastructure investments.


ASTM International has been the standards development partner of the metals producing industry for more than a century. Today, thousands of ASTM standards cover both ferrous and nonferrous metals, including steel, copper, aluminum and many others. ASTM metals standards continue to make a contribution to important infrastructure construction projects as well as to the development and production of countless industrial and consumer items, equipment and machines.


ASTM International leads the way in testing solutions worldwide. In industries around the world, standard test methods and conformance programs play a vital role in developing, manufacturing, and trading products we rely on every day. From the toys our children play with to the gasoline that fuels our cars, testing ensures that countless products, structures, and services are safe and perform as expected.


Water is a precious resource essential to human life, and its availability determines the quality of life of people the world over. Global economies depend on water to support food production, manufacturing and energy development.


Every day around the globe, ASTM International standards make a vital contribution in the healthcare field. Proven ASTM standards advance human health by improving care delivery, supporting medical research and drug development, enhancing product manufacturing and much more. Developed by leading healthcare practitioners, engineering professionals and other technical experts, ASTM standards drive the science and innovation that bring about a healthier and safer way of life.


Textiles date back to prehistoric times when plant and animal fibers were first used to make clothing. Today, textiles are a trillion-dollar industry, the largest employer in the world. Textiles can be found in our clothing, home furnishings, vehicles, cell phones, and more. And, for more than a century, standards from ASTM committees, beginning with Committee D13 on Textiles, have helped ensure the quality, safety, consistency of textiles, and the international trade of textile products.


Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), commonly called drones, are dramatically changing how our world works. Some drones can sit in the palm of your hand while others are the size of jets. The uses for these unmanned devices are also proliferating: inspecting infrastructure, responding to emergencies, collecting weather data, delivering packages, and more. Standards must keep pace to ensure that drones and drone operations continue to support innovation, performance, and safety.


ASTM International, formerly known as American Society for Testing and Materials, is a standards organization that develops and publishes voluntary consensus technical international standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems and services. Some 12,575 apply globally. The headquarters is in West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, about 5 mi (8.0 km) northwest of Philadelphia. It was founded in 1902 as the American Section of the International Association for Testing Materials.


In 1898, a group of scientists and engineers, led by Charles Dudley, formed ASTM to address the frequent rail breaks affecting the fast-growing railroad industry. The group developed a standard for the steel used to fabricate rails.


In April of 2016, the Safety Equipment Institute (SEI) became a subsidiary of ASTM International. SEI is an accredited third-party certification organization that certifies various types of PPE to industry consensus standards.[3]


Membership in the organization is open to anyone interested in its activities.[5] Standards are developed within committees, and new committees are formed as needed, upon request of interested members. Membership in most committees is voluntary and is initiated by the member's request, not by appointment or invitation.


Members are classified as users, producers, consumers, and "general interest". The latter includes academics and consultants. Users include industry users, who may be producers in the context of other technical commodities, and end-users such as consumers. To meet the requirements of antitrust laws, producers must constitute less than 50% of every committee or subcommittee, and votes are limited to one per producer company. Because of these restrictions, there can be a substantial waiting-list of producers seeking organizational memberships on the more popular committees. Members can participate without a formal vote and their input will be fully considered.


As of 2015, ASTM has more than 30,000 members, including over 1,150 organizational members, from more than 140 countries.[6][7] The members serve on one or more of 140+ ASTM Technical Committees. ASTM International has several awards for contributions to standards authorship, including the ASTM International Award of Merit (the organization's highest award)[8] ASTM International is classified by the United States Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.


In the United States, ASTM standards have been adopted, by incorporation or by reference, in many federal, state, and municipal government regulations. The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act, passed in 1995, requires the federal government to use privately developed consensus standards whenever possible. The Act reflects what had long been recommended as best practice within the federal government. Other governments have also referenced ASTM standards.[9]


Corporations doing international business may choose to reference an ASTM standard. All toys sold in the United States must meet the safety requirements of ASTM F963, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety, as part of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA). The law makes the ASTM F963 standard a mandatory requirement for toys while the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) studies the standard's effectiveness and issues final consumer guidelines for toy safety.[10]


Have you ever ordered metal and worried it wouldn't meet your expectations for strength, consistency, or safety? Rest assured, a powerful system called ASTM standards works behind the scenes to ensure your materials perform at their peak.


They're the global authority in crafting voluntary standards for materials like metals, plastics, and paints, ensuring consistent performance you can trust. Think of them as the translator of material properties, creating a universal language that defines the ideal characteristics and testing methods for countless materials.


This work is driven by over 30,000 passionate volunteers from 140+ countries, including scientists, engineers, architects, and even government agencies. Together, they collaborate to define the standard for various materials, ensuring you get exactly what you expect, every time.


These standards aren't born overnight. It's a meticulous, open process that guarantees everyone has a voice. Any interested party, from industry giants to individual researchers, can propose a new standard. Then, a dedicated technical committee dissects the proposal, refining it through multiple stages of review and feedback.
