In highly regulated sectors like medical devices, aerospace, and construction, ASTM International industry standards are the bedrock of safety and quality. While voluntary, they are frequently incorporated into laws and regulations, building codes, and international trade agreements — making them obligatory for many businesses. Additionally, contracts will often reference ASTM standards, making them contractually binding requirements.
Whether you are a small laboratory or a multinational corporation, relying on time-consuming and manual processes like spreadsheets for internal audits often leads to gaps that threaten a successful external audit. By combining industry standards with powerful, integrated audit modules, Nimonik simplifies audit compliance for users of ASTM industry standards.
Centralized Access: Your ASTM Standards in One Location
Nimonik allows organizations to directly access ASTM industry standards as well as standards from 90+ other major Standard Development Organizations (SDOs) — including ISO, ASCE, CSA, IEEE, API, IPC, and BSI — in one easy location.
While other providers exist, it can be hard to find one that fits your organization’s needs. Accuris announced in 2025 that they will no longer offer ASTM standards, and many other providers don’t fully integrate ASTM standards into their platforms. Some offer access to ASTM Compass, but users must jump between platforms to access their library.
Additionally, Nimonik subscriptions include an extensive library of historical versions as well as real-time updates. Nimonik subscribers receive alerts whenever ASTM publishes a revision or a new standard. Once opened, they can then use the historical comparison tool to easily compare the latest update with its previous edition.
Streamlining the Audit and Inspection Process
Nimonik’s software provides access to over 2,000 pre-built audit checklists. Customers can use these templates to easily build custom checklists based on their ASTM requirements, helping to simplify the auditing process as well as ensuring consistency and accuracy in compliance assessments. Organizations can also modify existing templates or create fully customized audit protocols tailored to their specific operational and regulatory needs.
Once a checklist is created, organizations can assign corrective actions and ensure accountability at every stage. Nimonik’s handy mobile app even enables auditors to record findings on-site, attach supporting photos, and document non-conformities with detailed notes.
Managers set deadlines, track the status of corrective measures, and conduct follow-up assessments to verify their effectiveness. As a result, organizations can maintain a complete audit trail of how non-compliance was identified, addressed, and verified, as required for certain industry certifications.
A Compliance System of Record
Nimonik’s platform serves as a compliance system of record — the definitive, authoritative source of truth for auditable decision-making. By monitoring and recording compliance in real-time, Nimonik enables organizations to move away from reactive management to proactive compliance, which can reduce the need for large third-party audits, replacing them with smaller, targeted spot checks.
The platform schedules inspections and maintains a full audit trail showing that the inspection was conducted and by whom. It tracks and logs all user actions, allowing administrators to generate reports that demonstrate consistent and ongoing efforts to stay in compliance.
By leveraging Nimonik’s robust compliance management platform, companies streamline their ASTM audit requirements, establish an indisputable system of record, and secure the documentation and audit trail needed to confidently demonstrate adherence to all applicable obligations, maximizing their success during any compliance audit.
