No single person or organisation owns ASTM International - it is owned by its members, who are technical experts from relevant sectors. ASTM International is governed by a Board of Directors, which oversees the organisation's strategic direction, policies, and finances and appoints a President/CEO.


Over 140 technical committees cover various sectors and topics, such as metals, petroleum, construction, and the environment. The Committee on Standards is the final authority on approving, withdrawing, and revising standards.


ATSM International also has an External Relations Committee to advise the Board of Directors on issues related to external stakeholders, such as international organisations, governments, industry associations, and other standards bodies.

ASTM International works with many industries, such as construction, energy, consumer products, medical devices, and aerospace. It provides these industries with dependable and uniform standards that help them enhance safety, quality, and efficiency. These standards also foster innovation, performance, and sustainability.


ASTM offers global access to fully transparent standards development, resulting in high market relevance and technical excellence in standardisation.
