AATCC TECHNICAL MANUAL
AATCC TECHNICAL MANUAL - Volume 90
Year: 2015
Abstract: Preface
The test methods in this edition of the TECHNICAL MANUAL were current as of May 2014. New methods that have been added and other important changes made since the last issue are summarized on page 18.
AATCC test methods are developed by research committees through extensive investigations and interlaboratory comparisons, often covering several years of work. Simplicity, reproducibility, applicability, cost of performing the test and the time required to perform the test are all important considerations in each development. Before a method is published in the TECHNICAL MANUAL, it must be approved by the responsible research committee, reviewed by the Editorial Committee and approved by the Technical Committee on Research (TCR).
During the first three years, each new test method is reviewed annually, at which time, on recommendation of the research committee and approval by TCR, it may be reaffirmed, revised or withdrawn. After the first three years, each method is reviewed at least once every five years by the research committee, and following approval by TCR may be reaffirmed, revised or withdrawn. The historical record of these actions is published in a foreword to each method.
An important feature of all AATCC test methods is that test results are numerically quantified as opposed to being reported as pass-fail. Test results are the basis for describing material or process characteristics that are not in themselves intended to be performance specifications. AATCC policy prohibits endorsement of such specifications.
Each test method is designated by a number followed by a date which indicates the year in which the method was issued, last revised or reaffirmed. The designation should be quoted in full in referring to a particular method. If the source of the method is not clear from the context of the reference, the designation should be preceded by AATCC, as for example, AATCC Test Method 100-2012, or simply AATCC 100-2012.
The AATCC Style Guide for Writing Test Methods (page 461) is the defining document used by research committees in writing these methods. The Rules of Procedure for AATCC Test Method and Technology Committees (page 468) is the defining document for the organization and functioning of these research committees.
Prior to 1969, the TECHNICAL MANUAL contained all the material published in three separate books—the TECHNICAL MANUAL, the July issue of Textile Chemist and Colorist (Buyer's Guide), now AATCC Review, and the AATCC MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY. The present format for the TECHNICAL MANUAL has continued unchanged since 1969. Major changes in layout of the TECHNICAL MANUAL were made in 1985 as follows: (1) indexes were grouped at the front of the 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. In 1989, Evaluation Procedures were listed immediately after the test methods.
In 2012, the monographs were given number designations and were included as a separate item in the numerical and topical indexes for easy access.
