MaP Testing

MaP Protocol

MaP Methodology

Unlike some other toilet testing organizations, MaP testing protocol and processes are entirely transparent.  Our Version 7 test protocol is not “secret” nor does it use test materials (test media) that have no relationship to the “real” demands upon a toilet fixture.  MaP tests use soybean paste and toilet paper as a close replicate of the “real world” demand upon a toilet.

All MaP-qualified laboratories use consistent repeatable methodology to test every toilet to failure.  Click here to view the Version 7 MaP Testing Protocol that all MaP-qualified laboratories are required to follow.  The Version 7 MaP Testing Protocol, effective on April 1, 2018, incorporates minor changes to bring the test protocol into agreement with ASME/CSA national product standard.
