An article in ASTM's March/April 2012 Standardization News explains how ASTM has begun using videos in some standards. The videos demonstrate procedures and help users understand how to properly utilize the standard. Videos are available to subscribers of the Standards and Engineering Digital Library Plus product.
Videos are completed and produced by ASTM staff and the technical committee video task group. The agency says the videos are not meant to replace standards, rather they are "designed to provide additional benefit for the standard's users." Those interested in including a video for a committee's standards should contact their technical committee's staff manager. Read the ASTM article for more information.
