To evaluate the effectiveness of odor control treatments, it is critical to understand and utilize a standardized test method that is fit-for-purpose...

Refining standardized test methods through rigorous development and cross-laboratory studies can improve the reliability and reproducibility of test results for credible and accurate performance claims.

A test method is considered fit-for-purpose when it is tailored to meet the specific objectives and context of the application. This means the method must align with the intended use of the data, the material or product being tested, and the conditions under which the testing occurs. A fit-for-purpose method ensures that the results are not only scientifically valid but also practical and relevant for the specific use case.
