Status of new CIPAC-Methods


Introduction

CIPAC Methods, when proposed by a company or an organization get a first status (draft method) when they are discussed in a CIPAC Meeting. After having been accepted, they receive the status "provisional" in a following CIPAC Meeting, and finally they are accepted as full methods.


Decisions of the 55th CIPAC Meeting in Beijing, P.R. China

The table "Decisions of the 55th CIPAC Meeting" presented below the methods which are either accepted as provisional or full methods.

Prepublished CIPAC Methods

There are always some methods which have been accepted as CIPAC Methods, but await publication. Please refer to the page "prepublished Methods" where you find a list of methods which are not yet published in a Handbook, but can be obtained as "prepublished Method" through the CIPAC distribution channel.
