ASTM ASTM
American Society for Testing and Materials
stands for American Society for Testing and Materials.
The technical society was founded in 1898.
The origin and development
ASTM predecessor is the International Association for Testing Materials (International Association for Testing Materials, IATM). 1880s, in order to solve the buyers and suppliers in the process of purchasing and selling of industrial materials and differences, some people proposed to establish the Technical Committee system, the technical committee organized by the representatives of all aspects of the technical symposium, to discuss and resolve the material specifications, test procedures and other aspects of the dispute.IATM first meeting was held in 1882 in Europe, where the formation of the Working Committee. At that time, it was mainly to study and solve the problem of test methods for steel and other materials. At the same time, IATM also encouraged countries to organize chapters. Subsequently, in June 16, 1898, there are 70 IATM members gathered in Philadelphia, the United States, meeting the establishment of the International Society for Testing of Materials, U.S. Branch. 1902 in the International Society for Testing of Materials Branch of the Fifth Annual Meeting, declared that the U.S. Branch of the formal independence of the Society for Testing of Materials (American Society for Testing Materials). ). With the continuous expansion and development of its business scope, the Society's work center is not only the research and development of material specifications and test method standards, but also includes a variety of materials, products, systems, services, characteristics and performance standards, as well as test methods, procedures, and other standards. 1961 the organization changed its name to the extension of the present American Society for Testing and Materials (American Society for Testing and Materials, ASTM) for Testing and Materials, ASTM).
ASTM is one of the oldest and largest non-profit standards organizations in the United States. After a century of development, ASTM now has 33,669 (individual and group) members, of which 22,396 members of the main committees serve as technical experts in its various committees.ASTM's technical committees under the *** has 2004 technical subcommittees. There are 105,817 organizations that participate in the development of ASTM standards, with the primary mission of developing standards for properties and performance of materials, products, systems, and services, standards for test methods and procedures, and promoting the development and dissemination of related knowledge.
The purpose of ASTM is to promote public **** health and safety and to improve the quality of life; to provide trustworthy raw materials, products, systems, and services; and to advance the national, regional, and even international economy.
Its strategic goals are to:
1. Provide the optimum environment and support for technical societies to continue to develop relevant standards and to further expand related information.
2. Ensure that ASTM products and services are the most timely and accurate.
3. To increase the transparency of ASTM and the value of ASTM standards and services in the global marketplace.
4. Enhance the wider acceptance and use of ASTM products and services not only nationally, but also internationally.
5. To make ASTM's resources, methods, techniques, and equipment more responsive to changes in the marketplace and to market needs.
6. Ensure that ASTM represents the voice of the majority through fair participation by major shareholders.
7. Maintain the basic stability of ASTM and ensure that it fully meets its social responsibilities and obligations
