Who governs ASTM’s standards development procedures?
ASTM’s governing body is its Board of Directors, which is elected by the entire membership. The Board and its Standing Committees have established procedures to ensure that standards are developed on a full consensus basis, that all dissenting parties receive due process, and that all ASTM standards follow style and format requirements. The Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees and the manual, Form and Style for ASTM Standards, are among the documents that govern the ASTM standards development process.
