Dear eFOI user,
Thank you for your request dated Feb. 2, 2024, made under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
ASTM has thousands of standards, which can be accessed in print and online according to ASTM's website: https://www.astm.org/products-services/bos.html
DOST-FPRDI's latest printed copy is the 2004 version that can only be checked/accessed here at our office library in Los Banos, Laguna. This is quite old considering that ASTM already has released the 2024 version. Standards included are on construction; paints, related coatings, aromatics; and textiles.
