What makes ASTM an international standards developing organization?
From its inception, ASTM’s method of developing standards has been based on consensus without borders. ASTM’s process ensures that interested individuals and organizations representing academia, industry, product users, and governments alike all have an equal vote in determining a standard’s content. Participants are welcome from anywhere on the globe. Further, ASTM’s high quality standards are responsive and relevant to the needs of the global marketplace. More than 40 percent of ASTM’s standards are sold outside of the United States.
