The implications of the peculiarities of equilibria involving a cross‐linked polymer network and a solvent were examined in the derivation of a thermodynamic consistency test. While strict application to a binary system achieves no tangible result, it is shown that a simple expression can be obtained from the Gibbs‐Duhem equation, if several sets of data, including both binary and ternary, are combined. The expression derived was applied to previously reported multicomponent data. The results and further developments of the newly proposed test are discussed.
