What is ASTM Compass?

ASTM Compass is ASTM's digital standards platform that provides access, search, and management capabilities for ASTM content.

How do I know whether Compass or a broader solution is right for me?

It depends on the number of standards, users, locations, and publishers involved. Our team can help evaluate the best fit.

What if we use multiple standards publishers?

Many organizations require access to ASTM alongside ISO, ASME, API, IEEE, and other publishers. Intertek Inform can help simplify management across multiple content sources.
