Read Antitrust Statement

1. Read Antitrust Statement ASTM International is a not-for-profit organization and developer of voluntary consensus standards. ASTM’s leadership in international standards development is driven by the contributions of its members: more than 30,000 technical experts and business professionals representing 135 countries. The purpose of antitrust laws is to preserve economic competition in the marketplace by prohibiting, among other things, unreasonable restraints of trade. In ASTM activities, it is important to recognize that participants often represent competitive interests. Antitrust laws require that all competition be open and unrestricted. It is ASTM’s policy, and the policy of each of its committees and subcommittees, to conduct all business and activity in full compliance with international, federal and state antitrust and competition laws. The ASTM Board of Directors has adopted an antitrust policy which is found in Section 19 of ASTM Regulations Governing Technical Committees. All members need to be aware of and compliant with this policy. The Regulations are accessible on the ASTM website (http://www.astm.org/COMMIT/Regs.pdf) and copies of the antitrust policy are available at the registration desk Reminder: Electronic recording of ASTM meetings is prohibited.

Review by Officers A Review and Approval by D02.90 Option for Appeal for Review • Executive majority approval required for all assignments. • Any member can request the Executive to review and consider additional information.

32. Introduction to ASTM International The Consensus Process Ensures Due Process Everyone has the opportunity to provide input to the process One vote per voting interest (as opposed to one vote per country) Allcomments/negatives must be considered and resolved by the technical committee Technical and Procedural Appeals Process Process further validated through accreditations with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) ASTM Regulations Defines and enforces ASTM’s open, transparent, consensus and coherent process Caution! - Failure to return 3 consecutive ballots at the same level may result in a loss of official vote status

33. Importance of the Official Vote • Official Voter Distinction Creates a Valid Ballot: • 60% ballot return of official voters. • 67% (two-thirds) affirmative official votes at the subcommittee level • 90% affirmative official votes at the main committee level. • ASTM Regulations Sections 11.2.1 and 12.2.1 • Official Voter Distinction is used to Resolve Negatives Actions as: • Not Persuasive or Not Related or Previously Considered • 67% (two-thirds) affirmative official votes at the subcommittee level • ASTM Regulations Section 11.4.3.3 • 67% (two-thirds) affirmative official votes at the main committee level. • ASTM Regulations Section 12.4.2.1

34. Handling Voting Results • A single negative vote halts the ballot process until resolution is reached. • All negative votes and comments count, even those that are not the “Official” voting interest. • Technical changes require re-balloting. • Editorial changes may be made without re-balloting.
