ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials)
The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) is an international standards organization that provides technical and scientific standards to help facilitate the procurement process. ASTM standards ensure a consistent level of quality across products and are used to test and measure materials, performance, and chemical properties. By using these standards, purchasers and vendors can clearly define expectations when entering into contracts, reducing the risk of disputes or misunderstandings.
