Consequently, inclusion of appropriate mechanical tests for such traps is premature at this time. Nevertheless, the committee recommends and supports the development of new types of traps and trapping systems together with appropriate testing methodologies. ISO/TC 191 further recommends that the issue receives in-depth (re)consideration at the five-year review and that all appropriate advances in technology are incorporated through the deliberations of the committee at that time.</p></non-normative-note>
