2.1 The Scope of the Committee,
as approved by the ASTM Board of Directors, is:  

(1) The assembling
and study of data pertaining to the properties of concrete manufactured using
an inorganic binder, and its constituent materials, including the study of the
effect of characteristics of materials and mixture proportions upon the properties
of concrete; and (2) the development of test methods for concrete and for the
constituent materials of concrete (except cement), as well as for certain
related materials, such as materials used in curing.  

2.2 The scope of the
Committee does not include the field of design and construction of concrete
structures except insofar as references need to be made to construction methods
in special cases of concrete as “over- the-counter” material.   

NOTE: In accordance with an agreement between
ASTM and the American Concrete Institute (ACI), ACI will refrain from
specification writing for “over-the-counter” engineering materials and ASTM
will refrain from standardization efforts in design and construction practice.
