The ASTM F2907-19 standard, published by the American Testing and Materials Organization (ASTM), describes performance requirements, sets marking requirements, and defines test methods to promote the safe use of sling carriers. The main test methods are:
This standard also defines appropriate markings and labels that should be placed on sling carriers.

Briefly, this standard covers the aspects of the way sling carriers are marketed and used.It focuses on two points:
