ASA
Old standards group
ASA is an abbreviation with several meanings depending on context.
In medicine, it stands for acetylsalicylic acid—the chemical name for aspirin.
In photography, ASA numbers indicate film sensitivity to light, a system now largely replaced by ISO.
The American Standards Association, once responsible for technical standards, also went by ASA before becoming ANSI.
