ASTM Compass provides access to technical standards, books, journals and technical reports published by American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). It also covers standards co-developed by other organizations such as ISO and BSI. The platform allows you to check historical, withdrawn and redline versions, compare versions of standards and make annotations. 

Our current subscription includes: 

  • ASTM Standards
  • ASTM Symposia Papers STPs
  • ASTM Journals
  • ASTM Manuals / Monographs / Data Series

ASTM's content is now divided between two platforms: ASTM Compass for standards and the new ASTM Digital Library for journals, proceedings, and books. As the vendor is still working on the SSO setup for the ASTM Digital Library, please use this link to access its contents in the meantime.
