ASTM International (ASTM) is an international
standards developing organization that develops and publishes voluntary technical
standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems, and services.ASTM predates other standards organizations such as
BSI (1901),
DIN (1917) and
AFNOR (1926), but differs from these in that it is not a
national standards body, that role being taken in the USA by
ANSI. However, ASTM has a dominant role among standards developers in the USA, and claims to be the world's largest developer of standards. Using a
consensus process, ASTM supports thousands of volunteer technical committees, which draw their members from around the world and collectively develop and maintain more than 12,000 standards. The Annual Book of ASTM Standards consists of 77 volumes.
