A survey of existing testing practice and pre‐existing data was conducted to provide a starting point for the COTEST project on cyclic oxidation testing. The main parameters within the test that need to be controlled were identified as: control of test environment; temperature stability during hold periods; heating and cooling rates; specimen preparation; and post test evaluation. Existing experimental facilities were surveyed to establish the full range of variability within these parameters.
