ASTM's security system standards are instrumental in the classification, selection, and evaluation of products that have to do with security and protection. These products include combination locks, padlocks, security seals, generic and mercantile vaults. ASTM pedestrian / walkway safety standards cover footwear materials and products, and walkways and walking surfaces. These standards guide manufacturers of such products in the proper fabrication and assessment procedures for the assurance of their quality.
