How do you know that a product is going to deliver on its promised performance and that it is safe to use? How do you know that a product really is top quality? The best way to be sure is to trust the standards, and ASTM is as trustworthy as it gets. At Knauf Insulation Technical Solutions we are proud to offer our clients insulation solutions of the highest quality, and we can support this claim by our numerous ASTM compliant products.
Different technical standards have always set the bar for producers. Builders, planners, architects, suppliers and many more use them daily to choose the best quality as they navigate their projects through the sea of options. For us, standards are the bar that we not only try to reach but go beyond.
More than 30,000 people from 150 countries create and update standards through ASTM International.
ASTM International is one of the world's largest international standard development organizations where producers, users, consumers and experts from around the world work together to develop voluntary consensus standards. The high quality of ASTM international standards is driven by the expertise and judgment of its members, who represent industry, governments, academia, trade groups, consumers, and others.
ASTM standards are developed by committees of relevant industry professionals who meet regularly in an open and transparent process to deliver standards, test methods, specifications, guides, and practices. There are about 150 committees, with over 2,000 subcommittees, which develop ASTM standards in accordance with the guiding principles of the World Trade Organization. The ASTM standards development process is open and transparent, allowing individuals and governments to participate directly, and as equals, in a global consensus decision.
There are over 12,000 ASTM standards, which are used all over the world to improve product quality, enhance health and safety, strengthen market access and trade, and let customers know they can rely on products.
