Read Antitrust Statement

ASTM International is a not-for-profit organization and developer of voluntary consensus standards. ASTM’s leadership in international standards development is driven by the contributions of its members: more than 30,000 technical experts and business professionals representing 135 countries.  The purpose of antitrust laws is to preserve economic competition in the marketplace by prohibiting, among other things, unreasonable restraints of trade. In ASTM activities, it is important to recognize that participants often represent competitive interests. Antitrust laws require that all competition be open and unrestricted.  It is ASTM’s policy, and the policy of each of its committees and subcommittees, to conduct all business and activity in full compliance with international, federal and state antitrust and competition laws. The ASTM Board of Directors has adopted an antitrust policy which is found in Section 19 of ASTM Regulations Governing Technical Committees. All members need to be aware of and compliant with this policy. The Regulations are accessible on the ASTM website (http://www.astm.org/COMMIT/Regs.pdf) and copies of the antitrust policy are available at the registration desk

Reminder: Electronic recording of ASTM meetings is prohibited.

ASTM Standardization Concepts

14

ASTM Standardization Concept

A decentralized system

• ASTM’s technical

committees make the

decisions

• ASTM provides an open

forum and an administrative

framework

15

ASTM Standardization Concept

The system is open Fair - Anyone may speak and

participate (Voting members

must participate)

Methodical

Rigorous process with checks

and balances

16

ASTM Standardization Concept

Partnership of the public and private sector

Marketplace orientation

Reflects changes in technology

ASTM’s standards are voluntary

• Standards are only mandatory when cited

in regulation or called out in a contract

17

What is a Standard?

As used in ASTM, a document developed and established within the consensus principles of the organization and which meets the requirements of ASTM procedures and regulations.

Full consensus standards developed with participation of all parties who have a stake in the standards’ development and/or use.

Standards

ASTM uses term “standard” as adjective to

describe following types of standards:

Specifications

Test Methods

Practices

Guides

Classifications

Terminology
