Summary

The paper introduces international standardization of test methods for industrial superconductors, authorized by IEC/TC90 (superconductivity). At present, 8 working groups cover the field of superconductivity and related properties; terminology, critical current, residual resistance ratio, copper ratio, mechanical property and surface resistance. One of them, the test method of critical current for copper/niobium-titanium composite superconductors, will be published as an international standard. The actual test methods are proposed and carried out by the New Materials Center and Japanese Fine Ceramics Association. It is emphasized that establishing good liaison with groups such as VAMAS concerning the fundamental aspects of standardization is crucial to promote effective international collaboration.
