ICUMSA has developed 124 Methods and Standards and Specifications. They can be acquired as individual Method or compiled in the ICUMSA Methods Book. Individual Methods are available online with access for 2 years from the Bartens Website through the Search on the ICUMSA Homepage
Methods are recommended for Tentative approval by ICUMSA® in the first instance. Upon meeting all the Commission’s requirements, methods are accorded Official status. Methods which are demonstrably useful and have found an established application, and which do not lend themselves to collaborative testing, are given an Accepted status.
Where more than one Official Method exist for the same parameter and range of application one of them is given Official (Reference) status. These Official (Reference) Methods should be used in any case of dispute.
