COMPLETE TEST LISTS

HORIZON® develops and validates modifications to ASTM standard methods. Reasons for modification include: minimization of required sample and
supplies, use of modern automated equipment, and less variation in sample preparation and testing. The modifications reduce costs and in most
cases improve throughput, which results in lower sample pricing and faster turnaround time for our customers.
