%X The development of standardised methods of testing is a key element in the prevention of SCC in order to provide a unified reference framework for the generation of reliable SCC data. To this end, a range of test methods is available in the form of international and national standards and procedures, comprising a wide variety of test methods for assessing SCC and also a variety of specimen configurations.The chapter will describe the various test methods, comment on their advantages and disadvantages and discuss the interrelationship between results obtained from the various methods. This way, a framework for drawing intelligent comparisons of SCC data and conclusions from these data will be provided.
