Committee D02

Committee D02 is a group within the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) responsible for developing and maintaining standards for the steel, aluminum, and other metallic materials used in testing and manufacturing. Its work ensures consistency, safety, and quality across industries by creating guidelines for how metals are processed, tested, and specified. This helps manufacturers, engineers, and regulators communicate effectively and produce reliable, high-quality products. In essence, Committee D02 sets the technical benchmarks for metals, facilitating global trade and innovation through standardized practices.
