In today's practice, FGK companies are increasingly encountering different and sometimes widely varying factory standards that are intended to ensure the quality of real metal surfaces. Although these tests often address the same basic requirements, they sometimes differ considerably in the details, such as the duration of tests or the number of test cycles. These developments pose challenges for suppliers, especially when excessive requirements are not only difficult to fulfil but also not necessary.

are not only difficult to fulfil, but are also not necessary to ensure the quality and reliability of the real metal surfaces in the field.

The aim of the FGK supplement is to create a transparent basis for co-operation and to ensure that test requirements are designed in a practical, efficient and target-oriented manner.
