. R = Recommended.

No significant change observed in flow rate or bubble point of the membrane, nor visible indication of chemical attack
. L = Limited Recommended. Moderate changes in physical properties. The filter may be suitable for short term, non critical use.
. N = Not Recommended. The membrane is basically unstable
. - = Insufficient Data. Information is not available. Trial testing is recommended
