* Test methods address the same property(ies) but are not technically equivalent, either through apparatus or procedure
** Test method ASTM E2257 and ISO 9705 are technically equivalent – the others are similar in concept only
*** Test methods ASTM D5424 and D5537 contain two test methods, technically equivalent to those in UL 1685 but different from that,
although measuring similar properties to, the one in IEC 60332‐3
