SPMC's technical committee members are active participants on various ASTM subcommittees including F02, ASTM's Flexible Barrier Materials Committee. SPMC members chair the subcommittees on Physical Properties and on Package Design and Development.

SPMC & AAMI
SPMC members are actively involved in the work of ST/WG 07, Packaging Group. The FPA SPMC representative serves as co chair of this committee. SPMC members led the effort to revise AAMI TIR 22, Guidance for ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11607, Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices- Part 1 and Part 2.

SPMC & IoPP
Many of SPMC's members also serve on various task groups within IoPP's Medical Device Packaging Committee (MDPC). The MDPC provides a forum to discuss a wide range of topics that concern the medical device packaging industry and to support a framework of task groups to act upon specific issues and concerns identified by the MDPC.
