Last week, the MRC visited ASTM International in Conshohocken, PA, for a workshop that was part of Drexel’s 2015 Summer Standards Institute. ASTM International, formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), is a globally recognized leader in the development and delivery of international voluntary consensus standards. Today, some 12,000 ASTM standards are used around the world to improve product quality, enhance safety, facilitate market access and trade, and build consumer confidence.
