ASTM GLASSWARE

Similar to the ISO, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) also sets forth methods of testing and calibration of volumetric glassware so that laboratory professionals can be assured of a certain quality and tolerance range when using a product. ASTM standards are more common in the United States, and regulators such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) adhere to ASTM guidelines when it comes to activities within the pharmaceutical industry.
