About This Item
ASTM E1023 is the ASTM standard titled Standard Guide for Assessing the Hazard of a Material to Aquatic Organisms and Their Uses. It provides a technical framework for evaluating whether a material may present a hazard to aquatic life and related uses. This makes it a useful reference for organizations that need a consistent, defensible way to review environmental effects, compare materials, and support responsible product or material decision-making.
ASTM E1023 standard overview
This guide is focused on assessing hazard rather than defining a single performance requirement. ASTM E1023 helps users approach evaluation of a material in relation to aquatic organisms and the ways aquatic environments may be affected by that material. As an ASTM standard, it is intended to support structured review, helping users organize information, apply a consistent assessment process, and communicate findings in a technical and repeatable way.
Where is ASTM E1023 used?
ASTM E1023 is commonly used in environmental assessment workflows where a material must be reviewed for possible effects on aquatic organisms. It may be applied by laboratories, product developers, environmental professionals, and organizations involved in material evaluation or regulatory support. The guide is especially relevant when aquatic hazard needs to be considered during testing, documentation, procurement review, or product stewardship activities tied to water exposure or release.
Practical importance of ASTM E1023
The practical value of ASTM E1023 is its ability to support more consistent hazard assessment and clearer technical communication. Using a recognized ASTM standard can help reduce uncertainty during evaluation, improve comparability between materials, and support quality control or compliance-related review. It also provides a common reference point for documenting aquatic hazard considerations, which can be important when making procurement, development, or risk-reduction decisions.
