Castaeda2010-01592-MN-0BSECE 5-5ASTM InternationalOverviewASTM International, formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), is an internationalstandard organization that develops and publishes voluntary consensus technicalstandards for a wide range of materials, products, systems, andservices.

Driven by the contributions of its members: more than 30,000 of the worlds technical experts and business professionals representing 150 countries.HistoryASTM was formed in 1898 by chemists and engineers from the Pennsylvania Railroad. At the time of its establishment, the organization was known as the American Section of the International Association for Testing and Materials. Charles B. Dudley, Ph.D., a chemist with the Pennsylvania Railroad, was the driving force behind the formation of the Society. In 2001, the Society became known as ASTM International.Types of ASTM Standards1. Test method a definitive procedure that produces a test result.

Example: F76 08 Standard Test Methods for Measuring Resistivity and Hall Coefficient and Determining Hall Mobility in Single-Crystal Semiconductors (Compound Semiconductors)2. Specification - an explicit set of requirements to be satisfied by a material, product, system, or service.

Example:F73 - 96(2013) Standard Specification for Tungsten-Rhenium Alloy Wire for Electron Devices and Lamps (Metallic Materials)3. Guide - information or series of options that does not recommend a specific course of action.

Example:F1376 - 92(2012) Standard Guide for Metallurgical Analysis for Gas Distribution System Components (Contamination Control)4. Practice a definitive set of instructions for performing one or more specific operations that does not produce a test result.

Example:F773M 10 Practice for Measuring Dose Rate Response of Linear Integrated Circuits [Metric] (Nuclear and Space Radiation Effect)5. Classification a systematic arrangement or division of materials, products, systems, or services into groups based on similar characteristics such as origin, composition, properties, or use.

Example:D200005 Standard Classification System for Rubber Products in Automotive Applications6. Terminology - a document comprising definitions of terms explanations of symbols, abbreviations, or acronyms.

Example:F2112 - 02(2011) Standard Terminology for Membrane Switches ASTM ClassificationsAFerrous metals and products BNonferrous metals and products CCementitious, ceramic, concrete, and masonry materialsDMiscellaneous materials and products EMiscellaneous subjects FEnd-use materials and products GCorrosion, deterioration, weathering, durability, and degradation of materials and productsASTM DesignationF1711 - 96(2008) Standard Practice for Measuring Sheet Resistance of Thin Film Conductors for Flat Panel Display Manufacturing Using a Four-Point Probe Method

F Classifies this standard in the End-use materials and products grouping. 1711 is the reference number given to the standard. This number is assigned chronologically by approval date. (This is the 1711th standard approved in the F category End-use materials and products)96 is the year that this standard was last revised2008 is the re-approval date of this standard. This means that document was last reviewed in 2008 and re-approved without any technical revisionsPracticePRACTICEdenotes the type of document.

Certification ProgramsThe ASTM Certification Program covers products (including materials, systems, and services) and personnel for industries that desire an independent third party demonstration of compliance to standards and/or are facing regulatory pressures to prove compliance to standards.

Product Certification Programs - USDA Voluntary Biobased Product Labeling ProgramPersonnel Certification Programs - National Center for Aerospace & Transportation TechnologiesCertificate ProgramsThe ASTM Personnel Certificate Program provides individuals the ability to attend a learning event and be tested on specific learning objectives.

Personnel Certificate Programs - TMC Rater Personnel Certificate Program- Coal Chemistry Technician Personnel Certificate Program - Light Sport Aircraft Personnel Certificate Program- Vapor Encroachment Condition Screening Personnel Certificate ProgramEnvironmental Product Declarations ProgramEnvironmental product declarations (EPDs) provide quantifiable environmental data to compare products that fulfill the same function. In order to create comparable EPDs, they must follow the same rules and guidelines called product category rules.Supplier's Declaration of Conformity ProgramThe ASTM Program on Supplier's Declaration of Conformity to ASTM Standard Test Methods enables a supplier to register with ASTM their product's test results.ASTM International has no role in requiring or enforcing compliance with its standards. The standards, however, may become mandatory when referenced by an external contract, corporation, or government.

In theUnited States, ASTM standards have been adopted, by incorporation or by reference, in many federal, state, and municipal government regulations. TheNational Technology Transfer and Advancement Act, passed in 1995, requires the federal government to use privately developed consensus standards whenever possible. The Act reflects what had long been recommended as best practice within the federal government.Other governments (local and worldwide) also have referenced ASTM standards.Corporations doing international business may choose to reference an ASTM standard.All toys sold in the United States must meet the safety requirements of ASTM F963, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety, as part of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA). The law makes the ASTM F963 standard a mandatory requirement for toys while the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) studies the standard's effectiveness and issues final consumer guidelines for toy safety.
