American Society for Testing and Materials, established in 1898, is one of the biggest and eldest non-profit standards developing organizations. Its mission is to develop traits and performance standards, testing methods and procedure standards in the fields of materials, products, systems, and service. It also promotes the development and popularization of relevant knowledge.
