ASTM D Standard (materials testing)

ASTM D standards are a set of guidelines established by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) for testing the properties of various materials, such as plastics, textiles, and coatings. These standards ensure that materials meet specific performance criteria and safety requirements. They cover testing methods, equipment, and procedures, allowing manufacturers and consumers to evaluate quality and durability consistently. By adhering to ASTM D standards, industries can ensure that products are reliable and suitable for their intended use, ultimately supporting safety and performance in everyday applications.
