European/ISO equivalents for ASTM Standards

I have to provide test results against these standards for a tender submission however I am finding it extremely difficult to find a test house in the UK who can test to ASTM standards
If you can't find a lab in the UK, would it be feasible to have these samples tested in the USA? It may be expensive, but your competitors bidding on this job may not have an alternative testing source either...

Hello Crainford,

Here is a tool that can help you (I hope...)

Just type in an ASTM number and the equivalent ISO standard pops up.

Let me know if this thing worked for you.

Stijloor.
That's a pretty cool feature, unfortunately it only holds a limited number of standards. But the idea is good, and I hope somebody graps it (Are you listening ISO???) :)

I may have to get the samples tested in the US but I working to a tight deadline. Can anybody give me contact details of a lab in the US that can carry out these tests?

If you have time to make contact then the relevant ASTM committee secretary or convenor will know if there is an exact ISO equivalent since they surely would have been a participating member of the ISO working group. It's not my field but this is what I found from the EN and ISO catalogs. There are a few related standards below that I extracted from the lists, but I don't know their degree of equivalence and maybe the organisation issuing the tender won't either, which would be the problem.

Thanks for that, I'll try to contact them. I think you are correct in saying that the organisation putting out the tender will not understand the equivalence (or not) of another standard which means I think I will have to bite the bullet and send the materials to a test facility in the States.:thanx:

This is something that has come up for me. Two large trading blocs (Europe and US) and they can't standardize. Failing standardization why not compare standards?
In my case it is EN29053 and ASTM C522. I need to know how close or different they are. I'm guessing very close considering my googling has come up with equipment made to test to EN29053 that looks identical to the one I am used to for ASTM C522.

I'm confident they are the same (as far as you can distinguish th results obtained from each test standard) but you do need to be sure don't you? Especially since the thing they are testing will go into a multi-million pound piece of kit!! It is just annoying that standardisation only goes so far in certain standards.

Hello all I am trying to determine whether there are direct European Equivalents of ASTM methods for Forensic Science.
I understand that most labs will use the ASTM methods, just interested as to whether there is a European equivalent, I do not think it is ISO either.

Looking for the following equivalents, see Attachment.

Cheers
