MaP Protocol

MaP Methodology

Unlike some other toilet testing organizations, MaP testing protocols and processes are entirely transparent. Our Version 5 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".

The Version 5 MaP Testing Protocol and Other Requirements is effective as of May 1, 2013.
