1 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 ( and copies of the antitrust policy are available at the registration desk Reminder: Electronic recording of ASTM meetings is prohibited.

13 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 18
