Standardisation of dedicated tests for cellular metals is still an ongoing effort and much progress is expected for the near future. Of course there are many standards that have been developed for other types of materials that can be applied to cellular materials.

The table below shows some of the few standards in use today. Please indicate when a standard is missing.
