ASTM specifications

ASTM specifications are standardized guidelines created by ASTM International, an organization that develops and publishes technical standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems, and services. These specifications ensure quality, safety, and uniformity across various industries, such as construction, manufacturing, and energy. They cover aspects like testing methods, material properties, and performance criteria, helping manufacturers and consumers know that products meet certain requirements. By adhering to ASTM specifications, companies can improve product reliability and facilitate trade by ensuring that products from different sources are compatible and up to industry standards.
