From the ISO (International Organization for Standardization):  Think of standards "as a formula that describes the best way of doing something.  It could be about making a product, managing a process, delivering a service or supplying materials-standards cover a huge range of activities".

Information about standards and how to find and access them can be found on our Engineering - Standards guide.

The best place to find ASTM standards is through the database ASTM Standards & Digital Library. This resource includes all active ASTM Standards documents plus almost every book and paper published by ASTM International.

If you're having trouble with finding the right standard, please contact the Engineering subject librarian, Jennifer Groff, at jgroff@clemson.edu.
