I agree with bridgebuster. Although ASTM A563 does not include A568M, however due to similarity, recommendations for A 307 bolts, may be used.

This Link, provides relevant information on the subject.

A good structural engineer is often a blessing for others.
 
You mean I should use A307 anchor bolts as it's similar to astm f568m
So what is the right type for wahser and nut for these type
 
F568M is similar to A307 Grade A; Low strength steel. Nuts conforming to A563 (check the spec because there are various grades in the spec) and washers conforming to F436 should work.
 
In some, maybe most, cases, the bolt specification will refer you to the appropriate nuts for use with it.
