Global Cooperation and ASTM International /

The ASTM International Open House Initiative

Return to Main Page

When ASTM International hosts an Open House, the Society opens its doors to delegations of standards executives from around the world. Concentrating on major geographic regions, each Open House event involves bringing the standards leaders from a given region to ASTM Headquarters for several days of constructive dialogue on the state of global standardization. This open exchange builds bridges, fosters understanding, and reinforces the role of standards among trading partners.
