As part of its 125th anniversary celebration, ASTM International invited case study submissions from committee members around the world, highlighting standards that have made a significant impact in society - and that have bettered the world around us. Numerous exceptional submissions were received, making the work of ASTM's panel of judges even more difficult in narrowing down the list of eight winners. Case Study Compilation (PDF)
