Programs that work for you

On Friday, July 30, 2021, AASHTO released the Standard Specifications for Transportation Materials and Methods of Sampling and Testing, and AASHTO Provisional Standards, 41st Edition—2021 (the “Materials Standards”). Be advised that AASHTO currently released the PDF Download version of the standards; the five-volume paperback version is being printed and will be available to purchase in September 2021.

In June, we announced our plan to return to on-site assessments in September. After careful consideration, AASHTO re:source has made the difficult decision to postpone this return to on-site assessments.

We will be adding the following tests to our scope of accreditation starting June 30: ASTM A615, ASTM A706, and ASTM A1064.

We are pleased to announce that AASHTO re:source is tentatively planning to resume on-site laboratory assessments the week of September 6, 2021.

Calendar year 2022 will bring a significant change to the Proficiency Sample Program. The existing “Coarse” and “Fine” sample programs will be replaced with “Aggregate Gradation and Gravity” and “Aggregate Degradation” sample programs.

Effective this year, AASHTO will make two important changes to the 2021 Edition of the Standard Specifications for Transportation Materials and Methods of Sampling and Testing, and AASHTO Provisional Standards (the "Materials Standards"), starting in July 2021.

AASHTO re:source is now offering assessments and AASHTO Accreditation for the following test methods: AASHTO T 103; AASHTO T 340; ASTM D8159

The health and safety of our customers, staff, and communities are of utmost importance to AASHTO. After careful consideration, the following changes will be made to our programs effective Monday, March 16, 2020

Planning is underway for the fourth annual AASHTO re:source Technical Exchange. This unique event has proven to be a great opportunity for laboratory managers, quality managers, supervisors, and technicians to learn more about quality and testing in the construction materials testing (CMT) industry.

Effective July 1, 2019, fees associated with the AASHTO Accreditation Program (AAP) will be changing. Most customers will not experience this fee increase until the end of the current annual billing cycle (March 31, 2020).

In 2018, AASHTO re:source added 9 standards to the scopes of AASHTO Accreditation and laboratory assessment. Get the full list.

On January 1, 2019 AASHTO re:source will implement a new fee structure for Laboratory Assessment Program (LAP) services. The new fee structure will be time-based and will no longer include fees for individual tests or standards assessed.

The 2019 AASHTO re:source Technical Exchange will be March 11-14 in Savannah, GA​.

On August 6, 2018, the AASHTO Accreditation and Laboratory Assessment Programs will be adding a new Rock scope to their programs. We will be moving the some methods from the Soils scope to the Rock scope. This additional scope will not impact the cost of an on-site assessment or your laboratory’s AASHTO Accreditation status. It will only change how these tests are listed on your laboratory’s assessment reports, request forms, and accreditation listing/certificate of accreditation.

In the coming weeks we will release changes designed to make it quicker and easier for you to respond to nonconformities.

We are pleased to announce that we have added the Texas Methods, Tex-148-e and Tex-113-E, to our scope of assessments and accreditation.

Project owners can now use an interactive map to find AASHTO Accredited laboratories across city and state lines.

The deadline for submitting corrective actions and supporting documentation is now 60 days from the date the final report was issued. This change impacts both AASHTO re:source and CCRL on-site assessments.
