Krueger can manufacture security grilles that meet ASTM A750. ASTM A750 applies to ventilating grilles for detention areas. ASTM A750 references four material specifications. They are: ASTM A6, A29, A627, and A629. A6 covers structural shapes and plates. A29 is for steel bars. A627 and A269 cover tool-resisting steel. Construction to ASTM standards is expensive due to special testing methods, materials tracing, special material specifications, and heat treating.

Our products meet the ASTM standard put in place for that particular product. Some of our products do not have a standard set forth by ASTM. However, we still maintain a high quality of production on these parts.

ASTM standards are used by individuals, companies, and agencies around the world. Purchasers and sellers incorporate standards into contracts; scientists and engineers use them in their laboratories and offices; architects and designers use them in their plans; government agencies around the world reference them in codes, regulations, and laws; and many others refer to them for guidance. ASTM standards are ?voluntary? in the sense that their use is not mandated by ASTM.

Standards development work begins when members of an ASTM technical committee identify a need or other interested parties approach the committee. Task group members prepare a draft standard, which is reviewed by its parent subcommittee through a letter ballot. After the subcommittee approves the document, it is submitted concurrently to the main committee and the entire membership of ASTM.

ASTM has over 30,000 members from more than 100 countries around the world who are producers, users, consumers, and general interest parties, such as academicians and government representatives. These members write ASTM standards through their service on one or more of ASTM’s 130-plus technical committees.It is these members who determine which standards development activities to pursue.

The ASTM standard for glazed concrete blocks is ASTM C744. There was a Federal Standard SSC 621B which was discontinued because it was virtually identical to ASTM C744. If you ever see a reference to Federal Specification SSC 621B, know that this standard has been superseded by ASTM C744 which is virtually identical.

ASTM developed standards which include a category intended to protect children five years of age and under. ASTM Standard F1346-91 for spa covers includes specific performance tests and labeling requirements. Covers must be able to pass certain tests. The first is Static Load. "In the case of spas with a width or diameter greater than 8' from the periphery, the cover shall be able to hold a weight of 485 pounds to permit a rescue operation.

Total security is possible only if specific objectives are defined and achieved during every step of the design process for each brokerage tool. Please consult our security standards for more details.

See ASTM D4067 Callouts for an explanation of the ASTM D4067 PPS material callout system and how to select a Ryton? PPS compound to meet the requirements of a specific callout. If you have further questions about the ASTM D4067 callout system, please contact our Quality Assurance or Technical Service staffs. See End-Of-Life and Environmental Issues for information about the additives and trace impurities that may be present in Ryton? PPS and Xtel? products and the relevance to these directives.

Yes. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) develops and publishes standards for thousands of products, including fences. A knowledgeable, well-trained fence contractor will be versed in ASTM standards for fence products and installation. All members of the American Fence Association are supplied with an updated ASTM Manual for Fence Products regularly. BACK TO TOP

The ASTM standard for linear dimensional stability (ASTM D 1204) was originally 2% maximum. In the mid-90s the standard was changed to 1% maximum. The change in the ASTM standard was influenced by the belief that membrane shrinkage may be a contributor to the bridging seen on some old ballasted applications. In reality, EPDM has always exhibited a dimensional stability value of much less than 1%, even when the ASTM Standard was 2%.

ASTM site investigation/assessment standards attempt to encapsulate best practices that have been demonstrated and have broad technical acceptance in a replicable set of methods and approaches. For example, there already is an ASTM standard for conducting Expedited Site Characterization work (D6235-98a), one of the historical improvements in the characterization process that the Triad has built on.

Copies of the following referenced standards may be obtained from the American Society for Testing and Materials, 100 Bar Harbor Drive, West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania 19428, www.astm.

From its inception, ASTM’s method of developing standards has been based on consensus without borders. ASTM’s process ensures that interested individuals and organizations representing academia, industry, product users, and governments alike all have an equal vote in determining a standard’s content. Participants are welcome from anywhere on the globe. Further, ASTM’s high quality standards are responsive and relevant to the needs of the global marketplace.

The Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP) is a set of rules established by Visa for securing your computer systems and data from unauthorized access and loss of credit card information. These rules have been in place for several years and were required of large credit card processors, but were only recommendations for most merchants accepting credit cards.

Yes. We have strict policies about keeping our software up to date and take every measure to ensure a secure environment.

The B.2.2 security control standards were selected for their applicability to the mail industry. Sources included: the Mail Security Task Force, which represents the USPS and mailing industry, the Postal Inspection Service, the American Society for Industrial Security, and the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection. In addition, mailers who volunteered to undergo reviews as part of our pilot program in FY 2003 provided feedback.

The new standards have been developed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Protected Health Information (PHI).

No existing standard provides uniform, comprehensive protection of individual health information. HIPAA mandates new security standards to protect an individual’s health information, while permitting the appropriate access and use of that information by health care providers, clearinghouses, and health plans.
