Standard Test Methods

Standard Test Methods are documented procedures used to measure the properties or performance of materials, products, or systems consistently and reliably. They ensure that tests are conducted uniformly across different labs and manufacturers, so results are accurate and comparable. These methods specify the equipment, conditions, and steps needed for testing, providing a common framework to assess quality, safety, and durability. Essentially, they serve as standardized guides that help industries maintain consistency and trust in their products and processes.
