Abstract
ASTM International's Director of Developmental Operations introduces the organisation and the committee then being formed for 3D imaging systems. The first half explains why a metrology audience should care about ASTM: a system established in 1898, 139 committees and more than 12,000 standards, 30,000 members of whom over 5,500 are international, ANSI audited-designator accreditation, compliance with the WTO/TBT Agreement, a neutral consensus forum and no project costs. The second describes the balloting process and the scope and plans of new Committee E57 on 3D Imaging Systems, which went on to produce the standards this conference has followed ever since.
