Any organization that owns and uses a variety of equipment must find ways to identify it and track its movement. A new standard and a proposed new standard being developed by ASTM International Committee E53 on Property Management Systems focus on these aspects of equipment ownership. The new ASTM standard, E2606 , Practice for Receipt Notification as a Result of Tangible Property Movement, and…

ASTM International Committee E53 on Property Management Systems has begun developing new standards to address the beginning of a challenging new era for asset managers – the era of lost laptops. Understanding how organizations reached this point – where entities are losing an increasing number of sensitive assets such as computers, some with sensitive information stored in the memory devices – is…

ASTM International Committee E57 Will Meet Important Industry Need for Consensus Standards, ASTM International, one of the largest voluntary standards development organizations (SDO) in the world, has announced the formation of ASTM Committee E57 on 3D Imaging Systems. The new standards initiative was driven by the cooperative efforts of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and stakeholders within the 3D imaging systems sector. Committee E57 will focus on the…, Powerful Tools for Measurement and Information Capture, 3D imaging systems are used to rapidly capture three-dimensional information of a scene or object. This information is often provided in the form of “point clouds” (grouping of points) with associated color and intensity data. Usage of 3D imaging systems has steadily increased during the past 10 years as the devices have become important measuring tools in industrial sectors such as construction…, Dynamic, Growing Technology in Need of Consensus Standards, 3D imaging technology has been in existence for several decades. Current systems include laser scanners, 3D optical scanners, 3D range cameras, and 3D flash laser radars (LADARs). Although these systems have become more established during the last decade, there are presently no standards for evaluating the performance of 3D imaging systems or the related end projects derived from the data they…, ASTM International: Meeting the Call for a Comprehensive Standards Program, Following a NIST workshop of stakeholders from the 3D imaging systems sector held in March, ASTM International was chosen in a competitive bid process to be home of the new standards initiative. With a proven consensus process and state-of-the-art standards development infrastructure, ASTM is well suited to meet the 3D imaging industry’s need for comprehensive standards. ASTM Committee E57 will…

Anyone who has ever lost time searching for a set of keys that simply are not where they’re supposed to be will appreciate the larger-scale, though similar concept behind E 2499 , Standard Practice for Classification of Equipment Physical Location Information, a new standard developed by ASTM International Committee E 53 on Property Management Systems. The goal of the standard, which is under the…
