ASTM Type Approval Tests

Founded in 1898, the American Testing and Materials Authority (ASTM, American Society for Testing and Materials) is one of the world's largest organizations developing international standards. The published ASTM standards touch the lives of millions of people every day. These standards increase the performance of the products and help consumers to trust the products they purchase in a wide range from toys to electrical and electronic products.

Today, more than 12 thousand ASTM standards are used worldwide to increase health and safety, improve product quality, strengthen trade and increase consumer confidence. ASTM standards have been the cornerstones of a successful global trading strategy.

In this context, ASTM type approval refers to a confirmation that the production and samples of a design will meet specified ASTM performance standards. This approval stipulates that an aftermarket must meet or exceed the quality standard. Manufacturer companies must confirm that they can manufacture in compliance with standards regarding repeatability before starting mass production.
