Accessing ASTM Standards

Following the Accuris announcement to end their partnership with ASTM International,  Nimonik is now the leading standards management platform that allows users to access all of their ASTM standards, non-ASTM standards, and additional documents in a single integrated platform. Organizations can access and manage industry documents from 60+ SDOs — including ASTM, ISO, ASCE, CSA, IEEE, API, IPC, and BSI — in one easy location, rather than hopping between platforms.

Convert your ASTM standards into actionable, auditable tasks with features that include:

  • Automated tracking of standards updates
  • Historical updates
  • Custom list creation
  • Audit checklists and mobile audit execution
  • Corrective action tracking
  • Usage reporting dashboards
  • Multi-device access via desktop, tablet, or mobile

Nimonik helps users integrate their standards into a custom register, so changes automatically trigger audits/reassessments, teams assign corrective tasks, and actions are tracked in comprehensive reports. It’s a centralized compliance management system that tracks a variety of industry standards as well as regulations, permits, internal policies, and more — instead of juggling multiple platforms to get the same result.

What Are ASTM Standards?

Established in 1898 by Charles B. Dudley, Ph.D., a chemist from the Pennsylvania Railroad, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), which was later rebranded to ASTM International in 2001, is a globally recognized leader in the development and delivery of voluntary consensus standards.

ASTM, headquartered in West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, and with offices in Washington, D.C., Belgium, Canada, China, and Peru, has over 30,000 world-class technical experts and business professionals from 140 countries contributing to developing these international standards. They serve various industries, such as metals, construction, petroleum, consumer products, etc. When new sectors like nanotechnology, additive manufacturing, and industrial biotechnology seek to advance cutting-edge technologies through standardization, many turn to ASTM International.

Through an open and transparent process facilitated by ASTM’s cutting-edge IT infrastructure, these members collaborate to create test methods, specifications, classifications, guides, and practices that serve industries and governments worldwide.

Today, more than 12,000 ASTM standards are implemented globally to enhance product quality, ensure health and safety, facilitate market access and trade, and instill consumer confidence. These standards span various products, from children’s toys to aircraft.

Nimonik provides access to the comprehensive Annual Book of ASTM Standards, comprising over 80 volumes and containing more than 12,800 standards. Available in print and online formats, these volumes can be purchased individually, as sections, or as a complete set.
