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
