ASTM Standards for Statistics and Quality Assurance

International Standards for Statistics and Quality Assurance

ASTM standards for statistics and quality assurance provide a universal language for evaluating data, managing uncertainty, and improving decision-making across industries.

These standards ensure that testing laboratories, manufacturers, and regulators can interpret results with confidence, compare outcomes consistently, and embed quality principles throughout their operations.

Developed primarily by ASTM Committee E11 on Quality and Statistics, these documents cover statistical methods, sampling practices, control charting, interlaboratory studies, and measurement systems analysis.

Together, they serve as the foundation for ensuring that data-driven conclusions are accurate, repeatable, and aligned with global best practices.

Digital Access to International Standards for Statistics and Quality

Every measurement has uncertainty, and ASTM’s statistical standards provide the tools to quantify it. From practices that define how to calculate precision and bias to methods that evaluate reproducibility across laboratories, these standards help organizations move from raw results to meaningful insights. By applying rigorous statistical methods, companies ensure that their testing programs produce results that can be trusted—whether the application is in materials science, pharmaceuticals, or environmental monitoring.

ASTM’s statistical and quality assurance standards evolve alongside advances in data science, manufacturing practices, and regulatory expectations. With access through ASTM Compass®, organizations gain the most current editions, historical redlines, and collaboration tools to integrate standards directly into their quality systems.
In a world increasingly defined by data, ASTM standards for statistics and quality assurance provide the essential framework for turning numbers into knowledge, and for transforming quality into trust.
