The ICAC Task Force on Commercial Standardization of Instrument Testing of Cotton (CSITC) is conducting the third official CSITC Round Trials in 2009. The round trials consist of quarterly tests. Laboratories that miss an earlier trial can participate in the remaining ones. All cotton fiber testing laboratories capable of measuring cotton samples with rapid testing instruments, often referred to as high volume instruments (HVI), and based on the Universal Calibration Cotton Standards for Micronaire, Upper-half mean length, Length uniformity index, Strength, Rd color, and +b color are encouraged to participate. Participation in a CSITC Round Trial is not limited to test centers using Uster HVI equipment. CSITC evaluations are based on test results and are not dependent on the manufacturer, model or kind of testing instruments used.
