Foreword
ISO(theInternationalOrganizationforStandardization)isaworldwidefederationofnationalstandardsbodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of
ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. www.iso.org/directives.

ISO/ASTM 52921 was prepared by ASTM International (as ASTM F2921) and was adopted, under a special
“fast-track procedure”, by Technical Committee ISO/TC 261, Additive manufacturing, in parallel with its
approval by the ISO member bodies. This has been done under a Partner Standards Development
Organization (PSDO) Cooperation Agreement between ISO/TC 261, Additive manufacturing, and ASTM
International Committee F42, Additive Manufacturing Technologies. ASTM F2921 was developed by
ASTM Subcommittee F42.01, Test Methods.
