Global Standardization of Material Verification Techniques
How to Use ASTM E3499-25 to Improve the Execution of Your Material Verification Digs

A Technical Briefing on ASTM E3499-25: The New Standard for In-Situ Material Verification

Every inspection method used in pipeline integrity programs operates within an ASTM framework: ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle inspection, tensile testing. In-situ material verification now has one too.

Published in November 2025, ASTM E3499-25 establishes the first standardized approach for non-destructive material verification under 49 CFR 192.607, bringing traceability, repeatability, and defensibility to a space that has historically lacked it.

In this technical briefing, Dr Jimmy Campbell (Cambridge PhD materials scientist and lead author of ASTM E3499-25) explains what the standard means in practice, how it was developed, and how operators can apply it within their integrity programs today. 

Topics covered:

What ASTM E3499-25 covers and where it fits within material verification requirements

What ASTM standardization delivers in practice: traceability, repeatability, and defensible results

How the standard was developed: committee process, round robin testing, and balloting

How to specify ASTM-standardized tools within your integrity program to reduce technical and regulatory risk
