Pada uji kekerasan memiliki standart pengujian yang tentunya sudah ditetapkan melalui ASTM ( American Soicety for Testing and Materials). Setiap nomor ASTM mengarah pada jenis metode dan material uji yang dilakukan pada uji kekerasan (hardness test).
Sedangkan alat uji yang dipakai adalah hardness tester dan biasanya sudah diaplikasikan penerapan standard ASTM di dalamnya.
Berikut ini list standard ASTM sebagai acuan dalam uji kekerasan :
