ASTM

ASTM stands for American Society for Testing Materials, and it is an organization that sets precise standards for a wide range of materials and products. ASTM helps to ensure that materials, products, and services are safe and reliable. They do this by setting standards that tell people how things should be tested and what qualities they should have. For example, if someone wants to make sure their plastic is strong and durable, they can use ASTM standards to learn how to test the plastic, and what qualities it should have to be strong and durable.
