9 New methods thathave been added and other important changes made since thelast issue are summarized on page test methods are developed by research commit-tees through extensive investigations and interlaboratorycomparisons, often covering several years of work. Simplic-ity, reproducibility, applicability, cost of performing the testand the time required to perform the test are all importantconsiderations in each development. Before a method ispublished in the TECHNICAL MANUAL , it must be approvedby the responsible research committee, reviewed by the Ed-itorial Committee and approved by the TECHNICAL Commit-tee on Research (TCR).

10 During the first three years, each new test method is re-viewed annually, at which time, on recommendation ofthe research committee and approval by TCR, it may bereaffirmed, revised or withdrawn. After the first threeyears, each method is reviewed at least once every five yearsby the research committee, and following approval by TCRmay be reaffirmed, revised or withdrawn. The historical recordof these actions is published in a foreword to each important feature of all AATCC test methods is thattest results are numerically quantified as opposed to beingreported as pass-fail.
