As always, the most current versions of ISTA test procedures and projects can be found on ISTA's website. Please keep in mind that when a technical change occurs, ISTA will accept testing that was done according to the last published version for 12 months (one year) after the technical change was published. Once this one-year grace period expires, testing done to the previously published version will no longer be accepted. Additionally, this acceptance of old test results only applies to the version date immediately preceding the most current technical published version date and does not apply to other older version dates.
