该测试方法的范围是为利益相关者（包括流体制造商、机场运营商、刹车制造商、飞机建造商、飞机运营商和适航当局）提供除冰化学品对碳氧化影响的相对评估。这个简单的测试只是通过测量在相同条件下测试的受污染和裸露碳样品的质量变化来评估跑道除冰化学品的相对影响。基于该试验方法，不可能设定一般验收阈值氧化极限，因为碳制动堆氧化是散热器设计和操作环境的函数。

The scope of the test method is to provide stakeholders including fluid manufacturers, airport operators, brake manufacturers, aircraft constructors, aircraft operators and airworthiness authorities with a relative assessment of the effect of deicing chemicals on carbon oxidation. This simple test is only designed to assess the relative effects of runway deicing chemicals by measuring mass change of contaminated and bare carbon samples tested under the same conditions. It is not possible to set a general acceptance threshold oxidation limit based on this test method because carbon brake stack oxidation is a function of heat sink design and the operating environment.
