How to Select the Appropriate Testing Standard?

1. Material Type (metals, plastics, rubber, composites, etc.).
2. Testing Purpose (quality control, R&D, certification, etc.).
3. Industry Requirements (specific standards for aerospace, automotive, medical industries, etc.).
4. Regional Regulations (e.g., Chinese GB, U.S. ASTM, European EN).
