Artificial Intelligence Policy: ASTM International prohibits the entry of ASTM standards and related ASTM intellectual property (“ASTM IP”) into any form of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, such as ChatGPT. Additionally, creating ----derivatives of ASTM IP using AI is also prohibited without express written permission from ASTM’s President. In the case of such use, ASTM will suspend a licensee’s access to ASTM IP, and further legal action will be considered.
This standard will provide minimum requirements for design construction including prescriptive and performance compliance methods for tiny houses on wheels for temp and permanent occupancy.
Globally, we share common challenges for the allowance of tiny houses. Defining tiny houses and developing standards with ASTM that are unique to the tiny house industry will eliminate the barriers that tiny houses are facing and will establish uniformity and the universal acceptance that tiny houses are a viable housing solution. At this time, there is not one unified industry standard that is recognized for tiny houses on wheels and each country, district, province, state, jurisdiction, consumer, bank, insurance agency, builder, government official, legislators, municipal and elected officials could have a different definition and criteria to deny or allow them.
