2: Timeliness
To ensure ASTM International products and services are provided in a timely manner and meet current needs. Other Information:
The time required to produce ASTM standards and related information is neither predictable nor fully controllable because
of the volunteer nature of the society, the essential features of the ASTM consensus process, and the technologies involved.
Nevertheless, in the interest of developing products that are up-to-date and high in quality, the efficiency of the process
will receive regular review and will be refined, when appropriate, without sacrificing openness, due process, consensus, or
other aspects of quality. In addition, ASTM committees and staff must be alert to the emerging demands for standards so that
new activities are initiated to stay current with needs of the marketplace and the development of new technologies.
