ASTM Standards

12,000 standards ASTM Standards are

developed voluntarily and used voluntarily.


Cited in a contract Used by tens of thousands of individuals, companies, and

agencies globally Government agencies may reference them in codes,

certifications, regulations, and laws (US: P.L. 104-113) Over 5,000 ASTM International standards are used as the basis

for national standards by reference in regulation in over 50 countries

Regarding Amusement Parks: No Federal Law covers Fixed Amusement Parks CPSC has jurisdiction over Portable Rides 42 States Have Regulations covering Amusement Rides and Devices 38 States and numerous local municipalities incorporate ASTM

Committee F24 Standards in their Amusement Regulations
