Fungus Resistance
ASTM G21 - National Technical Systems (NTS)
Many products that operate in warm, humid environments must be tested to withstand fungal attacks, since this problem can cause myriad of operational challenges. To varying degrees, live fungi will use wood, paper, leather, hydrocarbons, PVC, polyurethanes, certain plastics and paints, along with other materials, as fuel for growth.

ASTM Testing Programs
The American Society for Testing and Materials was founded over a century ago to answer the call for more uniform quality manufacturing standards in the railroad industry. ASTM International is a global organization centered on the development and delivery of international standards. As indicated on its website, ASTM has published nearly 12,000 test methods and standards. Known for advanced technical quality and market relevance, ASTM standards are used in research and development, product testing, and quality systems. ASTM standards are critical elements of the information infrastructure that guides manufacturing and trade in the global economy.
