Frequently Asked Questions
E20.91 is a Technical Committee within ASTM International. It is named "Editorial and Terminology". This committee has published 21 standards.
E20.91 develops ASTM standards in the area of Information technology. Currently, there are 21 published standards from this technical committee.
ASTM is a standardization organization that develops and publishes standards to support industry, commerce, and regulatory requirements.
A Technical Committee (TC) in ASTM is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
