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).

7 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at which time, on recommendation ofthe research committee and approval by TCR, it may bereaffirmed, revised or withdrawn.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at least once every five yearsby the research committee, and following approval by TCRmay be reaffirmed, revised or withdrawn.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. Test results are the basis for describingmaterial or process characteristics that are not in themselvesintended to be performance specifications. AATCC policyprohibits endorsement of such test method is designated by a number followed by adate which indicates the year in which the method was is-sued, last revised or reaffirmed.

8 The designation should bequoted in full in referring to a particular method. If thesource of the method is not clear from the context of the ref-erence, the designation should be preceded by AATCC , asfor example, AATCC Test Method 16-2004, or simplyAATCC AATCC Style Guide for Writing Test Methods (page416) is the defining document used by research committeesin writing these methods. The Rules of Procedure forAATCC Test Method and Technology Committees (page 423)is the defining document for the organization and function-ing of these research to 1969 the TECHNICAL MANUAL contained all thematerial published in three separate books the TECHNICALMANUAL, the July issue of Textile Chemist and Colorist(Buyer s Guide), now AATCC Review, and the AATCCMEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY. The present format for the TECH-NICAL MANUAL has continued unchanged since 1969.

9 Majorchanges in layout of the TECHNICAL MANUAL were made in1985 as follows: (1) indexes were grouped at the front ofthe book; (2) test methods were arranged in numerical order;(3) the Glossary of Standard Terminology was added and(4) the Style Guide for Writing Test Methods was added.
