For more than 100 years, aviation has revolutionized the way human beings move around the world and beyond. Standards have become an integral part of that revolution.
Whether these standards are covering the basics of aviation and aerospace travel as we currently know it, or reaching into the future of spaceflight, it is the work of several ASTM International technical committees that has continually moved aviation and aerospace innovation forward.
ASTM committees have contributed to immediate concerns of air travel through global safety standards for general aviation, aircraft systems, and light sport aircraft. ASTM committees have also helped bring the future of spaceflight closer through standards on commercial spaceflight, unmanned aircraft systems, and aerospace personnel.
Whether its through publishing the latest research for emerging aerospace technology, advancing research with symposia and workshops, training on the latest aircraft standards, or providing essential safety certifications for aircraft technicians, ASTM is pivotal in driving innovation and fostering safety in the areospace industry.
ASTM International’s aviation committees and subcommittees attract the participation of top experts from civil aviation authorities, manufacturers, suppliers, academia, and many other fields.
Are you interested in contributing to international aerospace and aviation standards? Become an ASTM member and enjoy a host of professional benefits.
Our members collaborate together in a trusted, open, and transparent process to create the standards that the global aerospace industry relies on.
You'll contribute to and vote on crucial aviation standards. Plus network with your peers, gain key industry knowledge, and get visibility for your business.
The aerospace industry relies on thousands of ASTM standard test methods, guides, specifications, and guides. Standards are available as individual digital downloads, in print or online volumes in the Annual Book of ASTM Standards, or through a license to our flagship standards platform, ASTM Compass®.
Providing you 24/7 online access to the content developed by ASTM’s worldwide network of experts, ASTM Compass® helps you ensure safety, improve quality, and gain a competitive advantage.
Access the aerospace and aviation standards your team needs with a customized ASTM Compass® license. Add related content from API, UNE, and more to your license to save time and simplify internal processes.
Advance your career and expand your aerospace industry knowledge with certification from ASTM's National Center for Aerospace & Transportation Technologies (NCATT).
NCATT certifications demonstrate the knowledge base of the advanced aerospace technician and promote integrity, safety, and professionalism in the aerospace workforce.
