ASTMISOachtige

ASTMISOachtige is a term used in some Dutch-speaking technical and industrial circles to describe a class of standards, documents, or practices that are designed to resemble or blend elements of ASTM standards and ISO standards. The construction of the word combines ASTM with ISO and the Dutch suffix -achtige, meaning "like" or "resembling." It signals a hybrid or cross-referential approach to standardization rather than a formal designation.

In practice, ASTMISOachtige documents may endeavor to harmonize terminology, align test methods, and incorporate cross-references or equivalence notes between ASTM and ISO documents. They can specify dual requirements, or provide guidance on when to apply ASTM vs ISO procedures, as well as how to handle measurement uncertainty and calibration in a cross-standard context.

The term is informal and not an official category of either organization. Its use varies by company or project, often within multinational supply chains where compliance with both ASTM and ISO standards is desirable. Readers should verify the underlying standards directly, as the exact expectations for ASTMISOachtige materials or methods are defined by the specific document rather than by the term itself.
