Participants will learn about the importance of standards and how they are used to ensure high quality products and installations and to allow for easier specification of these products.

Participants will learn about organizations that develop standards for hardscape products and their installation including ASTM, ANSI, ICPI, and TCNA and will discuss relevant examples.

Finally, the standard development processes required by these organizations will be detailed so that participants can understand how standards are proposed, developed, and ultimately approved and published.
