Anonymous 23 Sep 2010. though i have not taken prednisone, i know someone who did for approx. 6 mo. and had a lot of weight gain. when i read up on it, i found that it was not a drug one should take for a long period of time due to its possible side effects.
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is an independent, non-governmental membership organization and the world's largest developer of voluntary International Standards.
As a voluntary organization, ASTM International has no role in requiring enforcement of or compliance with its standards. Moreover, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is recognized as the primary developer of technological standards in the United States. However, many municipal, state and federal governments in the U.S. and around the world, as well as corporate entities, abide by ASTM standards.
