ASTM F596
1. Scope
1.1 This practice covers a method of testing by which the user can prepare a test for dry electrostatic toners used in copiers, which has significance to their specific copying needs and suggests ways in which test prints may be made and used for each evaluation.
1.2 Additional evaluation of image characteristics are covered in Practice F 807 and Test Method F 875.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. See Section 8 for specific hazards statements.
