ASTM

Testing Standards - ASTM (International)
ASTM International, formerly known as American Society for Testing and Materials, is an international standards organization that develops and publishes voluntary consensus technical standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems, and services. Wikipedia

These standards are used by industries and governments around the world to ensure the safety, quality, and reliability of products and services. ASTM standards cover a wide range of topics, including testing methods, performance criteria, and safety standards for everything from building materials to medical devices.
