ASBC stands for the “American Society of Brewing Chemists", and organization that was founded in 1934 with the goal of bringing uniformity to the quality controls in the brewing industry. This goal was achieved by publishing the Approved Methods of Analysis in 1935.  More recently the ASBC has released the 14th edition of the Approved Methods of Analysis, with new methods added as they are developed and reviewed by technical committees for functionality and consistency. 

Any methods titled as an International Method has been accepted by both the ASBC and the European Brewing Convention, indicating that the methods are close enough in design, methodology and consistency to be accepted by both organizations. 

If you are planning on shipping over seas and need an IM for your testing, contact us at the office, we would love to help.
