ASTM International Standards
A Shared Commitment to Amusement Industry Safety
ASTM International and AIMS International work toward a common goal of advancing global safety through distinct but complementary roles. As a leader in developing voluntary consensus standards, ASTM International provides the technical benchmarks for the amusement industry. AIMS International independently supports this mission by utilizing these industry standards as the foundation for its safety education and testing programs. By aligning our efforts, both organizations advance industry excellence through a robust and unified culture of safety.
