These internationally recognized documents promote public health and safety, support sustainable practices and overall quality of life, contribute to material reliability and facilitate international commerce. The following contains a list of some of the developments and activities through which ASTM fulfilled its mission in 2014. Established in 1898, ASTM International provides a forum in which a broad range of stakeholders from around the world come together to create voluntary consensus standards that serve as the building blocks of international trade, product quality and public safety. ASTM's standards are developed with some 30,000 individual members from multinational corporations and small businesses, government and academia. In addition to its standards, ASTM offers expansive solutions from training in the use of its standards to certification programs and laboratory proficiency testing. The work ASTM does has a positive impact on consumer confidence, public health and safety, business performance and overall quality of life. Following are examples of significant ASTM standards and activities released or undertaken in 2014 that positively impact health, safety and the environment; the use of standards in developing nations and regions; and the promulgation of standardization in burgeoning industry sectors. Health and Safety - The Consumer Product Safety Commission incorporated an ASTM standard in a new federal rule that became effective in July 2014. The standard (F2906, Consumer Specification for Bedside Sleepers) specifies structural integrity, product assembly and consumer education, minimizing the risk of injury to infants. - A new industrial health standard (E2920, Guide for Recording Occupational Injuries and Illnesses) provides a uniform global method for recording occupational injuries and illnesses. Domestic and multinational companies can use the standard to consistently track and evaluate workplace safety. - ASTM Committee F24 on Amusement Rides and Devices approved new standard F3099, Standard Practices for Parasailing, which provides guidelines for the operation and maintenance of parasail equipment and standards for crew proficiency. Environment - ASTM's standard for aviation turbine fuel (ASTM D7566) was revised to include low carbon (iso-paraffinic) aviation fuel, which significantly reduces greenhouse emissions. - In our Environmental Product Declarations Program, ASTM published several rules that categorize products in building-related industries as sustainable, helping manufacturers in areas such as roofing systems, precast concrete products, interior wood doors and more. - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency included three ASTM standards as alternative analytical methods approved to measure levels of contaminants in drinking water and to determine compliance with national drinking water regulations. - The EPA also released two proposed rules that provide emission guidelines to U.S. states to reduce greenhouse gas. The proposed rules reference several ASTM Committee D02 standard specifications and test methods for fuel oils and biodiesel blends as well as Committee D05 standards on coal sampling and analysis. - California's amended code relating to solid waste requires that plastic products meet several specifications from ASTM Committee D20 on Plastics. Products may be labeled compostable, marine degradable, biodegradable, degradable or decomposable in accordance with ASTM plastic labeling standards D6400, D6868 and D7081. Global Initiatives ASTM members represent countries totaling more than 90 percent of the world's population. Outreach to all nations promotes awareness of our standards, encourages active participation and builds understanding. - Formal relationships with national standards bodies in developing countries are cultivated through the ASTM Memorandum of Understanding program. Five new MOUs were signed in 2014, bringing the total number of program partnerships to more than 90. ASTM standards have been cited over 6,500 times by countries all over the world. - Staff members from the national standards bodies of Bolivia, Pakistan and Singapore participated in the 2014 Standards Expert Program at ASTM headquarters. The experts learned about the ASTM standards development process, attended committee meetings, and visited with agencies and organizations in Washington, D.C. - ASTM's executive vice president, Katharine Morgan, was elected vice chairman of the Standards Council of Canada Standards Development Advisory Committee in July. ASTM continued its work with Health Canada on the alignment of the regulatory requirements for children's toys in Canada with ASTM F963, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety. - ASTM staff met with leaders of the Joint Research Center's Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements in Geel, Belgium, marking the start of cooperation in the development of guidelines and standards for the detection and safe handling of nuclear materials in Europe. - A cooperation agreement signed with the Kuwait Society of Engineers will strengthen the link between the engineering community in Kuwait and the technical resources available through ASTM. The agreement emphasizes cooperative promotion, training, meetings and events. Standards for Burgeoning Industry Areas ASTM's efficient standards development process ensures that our standards respond to market conditions, business need and societal challenges. - Stakeholders in two industry areas formed new ASTM technical committees in 2014: F45 on Driverless Automatic Guided Industrial Vehicles and E62 on Industrial Biotechnology. - ASTM Committee F42 on Additive Manufacturing Technologies published new standards that address test specimen data reporting (F2971) and powder bed fusion of plastic (F3091) and nickel (F3055, F3056). The new standards will help manufacturers communicate performance information and establish good product design for 3D printing. - Committee F38 on Unmanned Aircraft Systems approved seven new standards that cover major facets of small unmanned aircraft systems operations. This includes design, construction, operation and maintenance requirements. The standards will help provide a safe path for the growth of unmanned aircraft in airspace systems globally. - ASTM created a Smart Manufacturing Advisory Committee, consisting of representatives of eight ASTM technical committees, to foster robust exchange among interrelated activities vital to supporting smart manufacturing.

Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) Footnote The society is a tax-exempt entity under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 501(c)(3). Accordingly, the society does not pay income taxes. The society is no longer subject to U.S. Federal and State Tax eliminations for years prior to 2011. The society accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax positions based on a "more likely than not" threshold applied to the recognition of the tax positions being sustained based on the technical merits of the position under scrutiny by the applicable taxing authority. The society has identified its tax status as a 501(c)(3) tax exempt entity and as a Limited Liability Company (for ASTM International LLC and ASTM International EU LLC) as tax positions. The society does not believe its consolidated financial statements include any material uncertain tax positions.
