Read Antitrust Statement ASTM International is a not-for-profit organization and developer of voluntary consensus

Read Antitrust Statement ASTM International is a not-for-profit organization and developer of voluntary consensus standards. ASTM’s leadership in international standards development is driven by the contributions of its members: more than 30, 000 technical experts and business professionals representing 135 countries. The purpose of antitrust laws is to preserve economic competition in the marketplace by prohibiting, among other things, unreasonable restraints of trade. In ASTM activities, it is important to recognize that participants often represent competitive interests. Antitrust laws require that all competition be open and unrestricted. It is ASTM’s policy, and the policy of each of its committees and subcommittees, to conduct all business and activity in full compliance with international, federal and state antitrust and competition laws. The ASTM Board of Directors has adopted an antitrust policy which is found in Section 19 of ASTM Regulations Governing Technical Committees. All members need to be aware of and compliant with this policy. The Regulations are accessible on the ASTM website (http: //www. astm. org/COMMIT/Regs. pdf) and copies of the antitrust policy are available at the registration desk Reminder: Electronic recording of ASTM meetings is prohibited. © ASTM International 1
