ASTM Standard Test Methods

Standard Test Method development has been a major driver of the FSTC since its inception. The Test Methods allow uniform procedures to be applied to each appliance, ensuring an apples-to-apples comparison of performance results.

Below is a list of Test Methods developed by the FSTC.
