			ASTM International is classified by the United States Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.<ref name="ASTMAnRep">{{cite web \|url=http://www.astm.org/ABOUT/2011ASTM_AnnualReport.pdf \|format=PDF \|title=2011 ASTM International Annual Report \|publisher=ASTM International \|page=26 \|date=2011 \|accessdate=26 March 2014}}</ref>

Membership in most committees is voluntary and is initiated by the member's own request. Members are classified as users, producers, consumers, and "general interest," which includes academics and consultants. Users include industry users, who may be producers in the context of other technical committees, and end-users such as consumers. In order to meet the requirements of antitrust laws, producers must constitute less than 50 percent of every committee or subcommittee, and votes are limited to one per producer company. Because of these restrictions, a substantial waiting-list of producers seeking organizational memberships on the more popular committees tends to form. Members can, however, participate without a formal vote, and their input will be fully considered.

			{{As of\|2014}}, more than 30,000 members, including over 1100 organizational members<ref name="ASTMOrgDirect">{{cite web \|url=http://www.astm.org/MEMBERSHIP/memborg/index.htm \|title=Organizational Membership Directory \|publisher=ASTM International \|accessdate=26 March 2014}}</ref>, from more than 150 countries make up ASTM International's membership.<ref name="ASTMAbout">{{cite web \|url=http://www.astm.org/ABOUT/overview.html \|title=About ASTM International \|publisher=ASTM International \|accessdate=26 March 2014}}</ref>
