This is news that fills us with pride, as it allows us to actively participate in the development of standards for an innovative technology that promises to revolutionize various industries.
Our commitment to this committee is a reflection of our strong dedication to contributing to the definition of standards in the exciting field of exoskeletons.

If you would like to learn more about the ASTM Committee F48 on Exoskeletons and Exosuits, here are some interesting details:
This committee was established in September with the purpose of developing voluntary consensus standards for exoskeletons and exosuits. In their work, they address crucial aspects such as safety, quality, performance, ergonomics, and terminology related to systems and components throughout the product's entire lifecycle. This includes significant considerations regarding safety and information technology. The committee's activities encompass a wide variety of applications, from industry to emergency response, healthcare, the military, and consumer use, covering various exoskeleton systems.
The committee meets twice a year to discuss standards that will be published in the Annual Book of ASTM Standards, Volume 15.13. F48 comprises six technical subcommittees responsible for developing and maintaining these standards.
