2. SCOPE
2.1 Mechanical testing is the determination of the properties or the mechanical states
of a material that are associated with elastic and inelastic reactions to force or that
involve relationships between stress and strain. The scope of the Committee shall be
the promotion of knowledge and advancement in methods of mechanical testing by:
2.1.1 Formulating, maintaining, and promoting superior quality standard test methods,
practices, and guides which involve the measurement of mechanical properties or
quantities from which such properties may be derived.
2.1.2 Sponsoring technical meetings and symposia independently or in cooperation
with other organizations.
2.1.3 Encouraging research and development of mechanical test methods.
2.1.4 Standardizing the terminology used in or relating to mechanical test methods and
apparatus.
2.1.5 Cooperating with other standardizing bodies in the interest of national and
international standardization.
2.1.6 Aiding and advising those interested in the preparation of standard test methods,
practices, and guides and the development of apparatus for mechanical tests.
2.1.7 Conducting round-robin testing where appropriate to validate procedures and
methods.
2.2 The work of this Committee will be coordinated with other ASTM Committees and
other organizations having mutual interests.

3. MEMBERSHIP
3.1 The Regulations describe the procedures for becoming a Committee member.
3.2 Maintaining Main Committee Membership—Main committee membership shall be
terminated for failure to return main committee letter ballots. An ongoing review of the
voting membership shall be conducted and a warning letter of pending termination sent
to those voting members who have failed to return the last two consecutive main
committee letter ballots. In the absence of circumstances acceptable to the Executive
Subcommittee, failure to return the next main committee letter ballot shall result in
termination of committee membership.
3.3 Maintaining Subcommittee Membership -- Subcommittee membership shall be
terminated for failure to return subcommittee ballots. An ongoing review of the voting
membership shall be conducted and a warning letter of pending termination sent to those
voting members who have failed to return the last two subcommittee ballots. Failure to
return the next subcommittee ballot shall result in termination of subcommittee
membership in the absence of circumstances acceptable to the subcommittee chairman.
The terminated subcommittee member may appeal to the committee's executive
subcommittee for consideration of reinstatement.
3.4 Resignation and Termination
3.4.1 Resignations shall be reported to ASTM Headquarters by the member or the
Membership Secretary.
3.4.2 Termination—The terminated member may appeal first to the Executive
Subcommittee and then, if necessary, to the Committee of Technical Committee
Operations (COTCO) for consideration of reinstatement.
3.5 Honorary Members—Individuals recognized for long and outstanding service can
be elected as Honorary Members of the Committee. Honorary members are lifetime
members of the Committee and are exempt from rules pertaining to inactivity. ASTM
membership must be maintained. Honorary members shall be nominated by the
Honors and Awards Subcommittee or the Chairman of the Committee and elected by a
two-thirds majority vote of the Executive Subcommittee. Honorary members will be
presented with a suitable certificate; will be named each meeting in a roll call of
honorary members; and shall be accorded affiliate membership in E-28 if they so
desire.
4. CLASSIFICATION AND VOTING INTEREST.
4.1 Classification—The General Classification System shall be used with each member
being classified according to the scope of the Committee as follows:
4.1.1 Producer: A member who represents an organization that produces and/or sells
examination instruments, testing instruments, reference materials, calibration devices,
and/or calibration services.
2
4.1.2 User: A member who represents an organization that procures or uses
examination instruments, testing instruments, reference materials, calibration devices,
and/or calibration services.
4.1.3 General Interest: A member who represents an organization that can be
classified as neither a producer, nor a user.
4.1.4 Consultants: Classification of consultants shall be as defined in the Regulations.
4.2 Voting Interest
4.2.1 Voting Interest is defined in the Regulations.
4.2.2 Criteria for use in determining separate voting interests shall be as follows:
4.2.2.1 Each distinct organization represents one voting interest.
4.2.2.2 Divisions or subsidiaries of a multi-division corporation may represent separate
voting interests provided they have separate chief executive officers, produce unique
and quite different product lines, and have separate research and development
departments. In lieu of these distinctions being applicable, other criteria may be used
to show that a division or subsidiary is a distinct organization entitled to be designated
as a separate voting interest.
4.2.2.3 Identification of official voting members and non-official voting members may
be done independently for the Committee and for each of the subcommittees, such that
a given member may have official voting status for his voting interest in certain
subcommittees (or in the Committee) but not have that status in others.
4.2.2.4 The member of the Committee or subcommittee having official voting status for
a particular voting interest may be changed, by the voting interest informing the
Membership Secretary and the ASTM Staff Manager of the Committee in writing.
