Common questions

Which distribution cycle should I use?

D4169 defines a number of cycles and three assurance levels, and scope moves materially with the choice. It normally comes from your specification or your customer - send it and we will scope against it.

Not certain ASTM D4169 is the right test?

Answer a few questions about what you ship and we will tell you which standard applies — and why the others do not.
