As one of the largest organizations of its kind, ASTM International provides a forum in which stakeholders from industry, government, academia, trade associations and others can come together to develop voluntary consensus standards for over 90 vital industry sectors. These internationally recognized documents promote public health and safety, support sustainable practices and overall quality of life, contribute to material reliability and facilitate international commerce. The following contains a list of some of the developments and activities through which ASTM fulfilled its mission in 2012. Established in 1898, ASTM International provides a forum in which a broad range of stakeholders from around the world come together to create voluntary consensus standards that serve as engines of international trade. ASTM's standards are developed by some 30,000 individual members from businesses large and small, government, and academia in a system that recognizes technical expertise rather than country of origin. In 2012, ASTM International continued to improve global access to its process and its standards by further enabling global participation, enhanced the connection between the public and private sectors, aided the incorporation of sustainable practices through standardization and other programs, and helped ensure public safety through its standards. Public-Private Partnerships ASTM International provides an environment in which the public and private sectors can work together toward goals such as technology transfer and ensuring public safety. Within ASTM technical committees, and through cooperative programs, government and industry representatives worked together in 2012 on critical areas such as water safety, sustainability, consumer products, aviation and more. - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency included 10 ASTM standards in a final rule published in the Code of Federal Regulations for measuring regulated pollutants in wastewater. - ASTM International works with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to administer their voluntary labeling program for biobased products. ASTM test methods for the determination of the biobased content of solid, liquid and gaseous product samples are utilized in that certification program and cited in the USDA's guidelines for designating biobased products for federal procurement. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission utilized two important ASTM standards in new federal mandatory safety standards, one for infant swings and one for infant play yards. Additionally, a new ASTM consumer safety specification for baby monitors was developed in response to a report from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission regarding infant strangulation deaths from monitor cords. - The U.S. Drywall Safety Act of 2012 cites an ASTM standard that provides states, suppliers and consumer with an effective tool for determining the origin and source of drywall and other gypsum products. - In support of the efforts of the Federal Aviation Administration's Part 23 Aviation Rulemaking Committee, aviation industry organizations requested the formation of new ASTM Committee F44 on General Aviation Aircraft. The new committee will develop standards to help transform the way smaller aircraft are manufactured and certified. - In 2012, ASTM launched an online Reading Room, a free service wherein registered users may view and read ASTM standards incorporated in U.S. Federal Regulations. Safety Many ASTM International standards promote public safety. Notable examples of ASTM standards activities completed in 2012 that help keep children and consumers safe include: - ASTM standard F2907, Consumer Safety Specification for Sling Carriers, incorporates current best practices in the design, performance, labeling and use instructions for infant slings. - ASTM standard F2729, Consumer Safety Specification for Constant Air Inflatable Play Devices for Home Use, includes requirements for calibration, marking/labeling and instructional literature for various types of constant air play devices intended for use at home by children ages 2-12. - ASTM Committee E61 on Radiation Processing was created in 2012 from the former ASTM Subcommittee E10.01 on Radiation Processing: Dosimetry and Applications. The newly reconstituted group will maintain existing ASTM standards on radiation processing and develop new standards that cover the entire process of irradiating products for sterilization and other purposes. Enabling Global Participation ASTM International's ongoing commitment to expanding its use of information technology and training makes it easier for stakeholders to access and use ASTM standards and participate in its standards development process. - ASTM continued to help emerging nations participate in and use ASTM standards through its memorandum of understanding program. In 2012, ASTM signed MOUs with the national standards bodies of Kuwait, Moldova and Papua New Guinea, bringing the total number of ASTM MOUs with such nations to 78. Through this program, ASTM provides standards at no cost to signatory national standards bodies. In addition, ASTM hosts standards experts and attached staff from MOU signatories; in 2012 ASTM hosted experts and representatives from Korea, Mongolia, Qatar, Turkey and Zimbabwe. - ASTM's training programs help users of ASTM standards increase their understanding of those standards and properly perform test methods. In 2012, ASTM expanded access to content by developing more e-learning and online training programs. In the critical area of concrete construction material testing, new ASTM interactive training programs prepare technicians for certification through the American Concrete Institute, the National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies and the Department of Transportation. - In addition to training standards users, ASTM helps professors teach students about standardization through an academic outreach program. In 2012, ASTM produced The Professor's Toolkit, a free DVD that provides professors with scripted presentations about standardization, a video on the value of standards, and other helpful components. The toolkit is available in English, Spanish, Mandarin and Portuguese. - By the end of 2012, ASTM completed a major project to convert its electronic publishing system to extensible markup language, or XML. This allows ASTM to offer standards in several formats, and makes standards development more responsive through pre-ballot draft document preparation and collaboration. Sustainability As environmental protection has become an underlying principle for enterprises around the world, ASTM International has responded with technical information and standards that will help improve the sustainability of products and processes. - In 2012, ASTM became a program operator for the development of product category rules and the verification of environmental product declarations. PCRs and EPDs provide manufacturers and consumers with third-party verified, quantifiable environmental data for products that is based on life cycle assessments. - ASTM co-hosted workshops on low carbon construction and green buildings. Both events highlighted the significant role of ASTM standards in these areas. - Forty-six ASTM standards - with subjects ranging from air quality to thermal insulation, green roofs to solar reflectance - are cited in the 2012 International Green Construction Code; ASTM has been a cooperating sponsor of the IgCC since its inception. - In 2012, ASTM developed a "Nuclear Roadmap," which communicates a practical set of plans for updating nuclear energy standards in conjunction with the Nuclear Energy Standards Coordination Collaborative. - New subcommittees with focuses on sustainable practices that were formed in 2012 include: -E60.13 on Sustainable Manufacturing -E44.25 on Heat Metering -F40.04 on Rare Earth Materials -C01.98 on Sustainability Assessment (for the cement industry) About ASTM International ASTM International provides a global forum for the development and publication of international voluntary consensus standards for materials, products, systems and services. Known for their high technical quality and market relevance, ASTM standards are used in research and development, product testing, codes and quality systems. ASTM standards are a critical element of the information infrastructure that guides manufacturing and trade in the global economy. ASTM's membership comprises more than 30,000 technical experts from 150 countries around the world. These technical experts serve on one or more of ASTM's 143 technical committees, developing standards for a broad range of areas including metals, paints, plastics, textiles, petroleum, construction, aviation, energy, the environment, consumer products, electronics, medical services and devices, computerized systems, homeland security and much more. Approximately 12,500 ASTM standards are published each year and can be found

FIN 48 (ASC 740) Footnote Part X, Line 2 The society is a tax-exempt entity under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 501(c)(3). Accordingly, the society does not pay income taxes. The society is no longer subject to U.S. Federal and State Tax eliminations for years prior to 2008. The society accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax positions based on a "more likely than not" threshold applied to the recognition of the tax positions being sustained based on the technical merits of the position under scrutiny by the applicable taxing authority. The society has identified its tax status as a 501(c)(3) tax exempt entity and as a Limited Liability Company (for ASTM International LLC and ASTM International EU LLC) as tax positions. The society does not believe its consolidated financial statements include any material uncertain tax positions.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Lines 6, 7a & 7b   The organization has members, who join by purchasing a membership or qualifying for a free membership from the organization. Those members then elect a nominating committee of their peers who, together with the three past chairmen of the board of directors, select nominees for open board positions. All qualified members then vote on the nominees.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b   ASTM Board procedures 3.3 require, in part, that the finance and audit committee is responsible for "review and approval of return of organization exempt from income tax (IRS Form 990)" and that each board member will have the opportunity to review and comment on the draft Form 990 prior to filing. An electronic draft of Form 990, including required schedules, is to be provided to each voting member of the ASTM Board prior to its filing with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C   ASTM has a written conflict of interest policy. The conflict of interest policy defines conflicts of interest, identifies the classes of individuals within the organization covered by the policy, facilitates disclosure of information that may help identify conflicts of interest, and specifies procedures to be followed in managing conflicts of interest.

To that end, the Executive Committee of Board of Directors is authorized to contract, negotiate and set the salary and benefits package of the president. The practices and the procedures used to set the salary and benefits package are as follows: - Every year the executive committee receives salary/benefits survey information from American Research Company's National Compensation Study of Association Chief Staff Executives. - In addition to the annual American Research Company's National Compensation Study of Association Chief Staff, every 3rd year the Executive Committee Authorizes a salary and benefit benchmark report for the President's position from one of the major benefit consulting firms in the US (i.e. AON, Watson Wyatt. E&Y, Mercer, etc.) - All of the ASTM International staff positions are benchmarked at least every 3rd year by a major benefit consulting firm in the US. (1/3 of all positions are benchmarked every year) - This information is provided to the executive committee and the full Board of Directors during the annual budget review as part of the budget review process.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19   Pursuant to IRS Regulations, ASTM, upon request, makes the following available for public inspection: - Original and Amended, if any, annual information returns; - Application for tax exemption including its governing instruments, supporting documents and all IRS correspondence pertaining thereto; - Conflict of interest policy; and - Financial Statements
Form 990, Part XI, Line 9, Other Changes in Net Assets   Change in Retirement Benefit Obligation (1,036,240)
Form 990, Part VII, Lines 1A-1H Col. (A) and Part IX, Line 25 Col.
