ANSI INCITS B10.3 Standing Document 1: Round Robin Test Data

 

Date Last Updated:

 

This document is an index to the round robin test data obtained in the support of the development of the test methods described in in ANSI INCITS 322, Card Durability Test Methods. 

 

The essentials of a round robin test are:

 

1. Card samples are supplied from the same production batch(es).

2. There may be more than one type of card tested, but all testers test the same card types.

3.  There are two or more testers

4. The testers follow the detailed procedures of each test method.

 

These data are being made available to users of INCITS 322 as information on the significance of test value differences when comparing relative merits of cards under evaluation.
