ASTM Standards

ASTM International, formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials, is a globally recognized organization that develops and publishes technical standards for materials, products, systems, and services. These standards are essential for ensuring the quality, safety, and performance of construction materials.  

ASTM standards are important for:

  • Quality assurance: ASTM standards provide a common language and set of requirements for manufacturers, contractors, engineers, and other stakeholders in the construction industry.
  • Consistency: by adhering to ASTM standards, organizations can ensure consistent product quality and performance.
  • Safety: ASTM standards help to identify potential hazards and develop safety measures to protect workers and the public.
  • Legal compliance: many building codes and regulations reference ASTM standards, making compliance with these standards essential for legal and regulatory purposes.
