The comparison of the terms used was made on the basis of the standards – GOST, ASTM, AWWA, EN and standards adopted by certain activated carbon manufacturers. It is shown that the methods of activated carbon evaluation according to the international standards ensure more definite results, and provide for overall estimation of activated carbon application properties. The attention is draw to the fact that while considering similar parameters with the use of domestic and international standards there is certain difference between testing methods which makes the comparison of the results problematic.
