ASTM Test Methods

Organized in 1898, ASTM International (ASTM) is one of the largest voluntary standards development systems in the world. It is a not-for-profit organization which provides a forum for producers, users, ultimate consumers and those having a general interest (representatives of government and academia) to meet on common ground and write standards for materials, products, systems and services.

Marazzi USA actively participates in ASTM and utilizes the following methods as a basis for quality consistency during manufacturing. For actual test results on particular products, see each individual series.
