National standards

A standard is a living document developed under a strict rule of openness and consensus. 

The use of standards in the U.S. is voluntary. They help self regulate industry and encourage cooperation and growth. All standards are reviewed every 5 years for relevance and accuracy and updated and revised as technology changes.

ASABE standards are developed by volunteers representing industry, academia, government agencies and concerned and interested citizens.  

  • ASABE has ~200 technical committees and working groups, many of which develop standards.
  • ASABE currently has ~280 published standards with approximately one half published as American National Standards.
  • There is a significant focus on national adoptions of ISO Standards in the agricultural machinery sector.
