ASTM International has joined forces with the Shanghai Institute for Standardization (SIS) to co-publish a Chinese-language edition of the ASTM Dictionary of Engineering Science and Technology, 9th Edition. This edition contains all 22,000 standard definitions found in ASTM terminology standards. Many of ASTM's 130 technical committees maintain terminology documents, which provide a common language for the many materials, systems, and processes found in their standards.
SIS, which translated and printed the dictionary, specializes in research on standardization, providing services to Chinese technical professionals in all areas pertaining to standards and standardization. SIS provides support for quality assurance, the adoption of international standards, and technical innovation in Shanghai and adjacent regions. The Institute is an authorized distributor of ASTM standards in China and has worked closely with ASTM for the past several years to disseminate the Society's materials to its Chinese audience.
