ASTM STANDARDS

ASTM International is a nonprofit organization established in 1898 that develops and publishes technical standards for a wide range of products and materials. With a global presence and more than 12,000 operational standards, ASTM plays a vital role in ensuring industry-wide quality and consistency. Utilizing ASTM’s standardized testing methods means facilitating engineering design and development, validating internal quality assurance processes, comparing various materials, and providing guidance to first-time test developers.

Below is a numerically arranged list of ASTM’s standards, categorized by specific application or material.
