ASTM offers Web-based Interactive Forums

The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Interactive Standards Development Forums have been improved and are open to ASTM members 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Members can view and comment on new standard drafts and revisions to existing standards on-line. About 100 Forums are in use by ASTM committees, subcommittees, and task groups.

The Forums 2.0 system is platform-independent and does not require the use of specialized software. Optimal performance can be achieved using Netscape Navigator 2.0, Microsoft Explorer 4.01, or Microsoft Word 6.0 or higher.

For additional information, contact Daniel Schultz at (dschultz@astm.org) or Len Morrissey at (lmorriss@astm.org).
