ASTM International is one of the world's largest voluntary standards development organizations, founded in 1898. ASTM publishes more than 13,000 globally recognized consensus standards across 150+ technical committees and 2,100+ subcommittees, developed by 30,000+ volunteer members from 140+ countries. ASTM standards span ferrous and nonferrous metals, cement and concrete, petroleum, plastics, textiles, additive manufacturing, medical devices, consumer products, unmanned aircraft, artificial intelligence in manufacturing, and dozens of other domains. Standards are delivered through the ASTM Compass platform, ASTM Digital Library, ASTM SpecBuilder, and through publisher and reseller channels. ASTM does not publish a public REST API for its catalog; integration with Compass is via SAML SSO, Shibboleth, OpenAthens, and IP authentication.
