Building 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 building standards are helpful in guiding manufacturers, construction companies, architectural firms, and other users of such parts and components in their proper fabrication and installation procedures, as well as the possible hazards involved during these processes.
