Standard Test Method of Field Testing Topical Applications of Compounds as Repellents for Medically Important and Pest Arthropods (Including Insects, Ticks, and Mites):I Mosquitoes (Withdrawn 2017)

ASTM E939 – Standard Test Method ofField Testing Topical Applications of Compounds as Repellents for Medically Important and Pest Arthropods (Including Insects, Ticks, and Mites):I Mosquitoes(Withdrawn 2017)

1.1 This test method is used to evaluate the repellency of promising compounds that have undergone primary laboratory studies andhave been approved for skin application for secondary testing.

1.2 This test method is designed for the study of mosquito repellents, but with some modifications this test method can be used to determinethe repellency of candidate compounds for other flying insects that attackhumans.

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practicesand determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
