Haya Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Hi, isn't there any way to get the astm standards for free? Is astm the best for standards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Why, having paid a lot of money to get the standards written, would ASTM allow them to be given away for free? Other standards are available You can go local http://www.bsigroup.com/en-GB/standards/british-standards-online-database/ or you can go global http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Cuthber Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 What do you mean by "best"? ISO standards are recognised throughout the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haya Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 (edited) What do you mean by "best"? ISO standards are recognised throughout the world. What i mean is that there are a lot of societies that put standards for experiments and tests including ASTM, AWWA, ISO....etc, are these societies ranked from the most recommended to the least?
