1: Standards Development Environment

To provide the optimum environment and support for technical committees to develop needed standards and related information.

Other Information:

The technical committees are the foundation of ASTM International and maintaining their integrity, diversity, and efficient operations is critical to ASTM's future. They operate autonomously within ASTM regulations and share common needs for support from the Board and staff. They also may have unique needs for administrative, marketing, and other kinds of support. To be certain these needs are met, ASTM will continue to be attentive to ways to improve support services particularly thru information technology, will maintain effective communication channels between headquarters and the technical committees, and will stimulate coordination among those committees whose interests are interrelated.
