* About ASTM International - ASTM International (www.astm.org), originally known as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), was formed over a century ago.

It is one of the largest voluntary standards development organizations in the world-a trusted source for technical standards for materials, products, systems, and services.

Known for their high technical quality and market relevancy, ASTM International standards have an important role in the information infrastructure that guides design, manufacturing and trade in the global economy.

Standards developed at ASTM are the work of over 30,000 ASTM members.

These technical experts represent producers, users, consumers, government and academia from over 120 countries.

Participation in ASTM International is open to all with a material interest, anywhere in the world.

In addition, ASTM also publishes a number of other books, journals, manuals, and technical papers which serve to complement the standards, or serve as the basis for new standards developing activities.
