Building and Construction Standards
ASTM’s building standards are instrumental in specifying, evaluating, and testing the dimensional, mechanical, rheological, and other performance requirements of the materials used in the manufacture of main and auxiliary building parts and components.
These materials include construction sealants, structural members, insulation systems, and other facilities used in conjunction with the erection of the foundation, walls, roofs, ceilings, doors, and windows of both commercial and domestic building structures.
These standards provide a comprehensive set of guidelines for the proper fabrication, installation, and safety precautions necessary for various building components.
Ensuring that all elements, from foundational elements to the roof, adhere to these standards is paramount to the creation of safe, durable, and sustainable structures worldwide.
