All the misinformation about ASTM reminds me of when I was the plant manager for a manufacturing company in the 90’s and early 2000’s. The big thing in those days was ISO 9000. This certification would tell your customers that you made good products. I investigated it and found that to get certified, you had to write down your process (procedures) and submit them. Then you only had to follow those procedures to be certified. It didn’t matter if they were good or bad or if they resulted in a good product. As long as you followed those procedures you continued to be certified. Meant nothing to your customers. Needless to say, I didn’t waste my time on it.
