ASTM - American Society for Testing Materials

ASTM International, founded as the American Society for Testing and Materials, is a nonprofit organization that develops and publishes approximately 12,000 technical standards, covering the procedures for testing and classification of materials of every sort. Headquartered in West Conshohocken, United States, ASTM standards are used worldwide, with its membership consisting of over 30,000 members representing 135 countries. ASTM also serves as the administrator for the U.S. TAGs (United States Technical Advisory Group) to an enormous amount of ISO/TCs (International Organization for Standardization/Technical Committee) and to their subcommittees.

Some example ASTM standards include: D 3649-98a Standard Practice for High-Resolution Gamma-Ray Spectrometry of Water, E2770-10 Standard Guide for Operational Guidelines for Initial Response to a Suspected Biothreat Agent, and many more.

Currently there are 12,800+ ASTM standards.

New Test Method for Rapid Radiochemical Determination of Alpha-Emitting Uranium Isotopes in Water, ASTM WK60568

This test method is specifically for alpha-emitting soluble isotopes of uranium (uranium-234, uranium-235, uranium-236, and uranium-238) in drinking water and other aqueous samples. This test method is applicable to samples in which radioactive contamination is from either known or unknown origins. This method uses rapid radiochemical separations techniques for determining alpha-emitting uranium isotopes in water samples following a nuclear or radiological incident.
