This study describes the standard mechanical testing methods out experiments with much faster strain rate. Another reason of employing this strain rate is a small difference of fatigue ]ife in symmetrical strain waves independent strain rate, Creep and creep-fatigue standards are finalizing stage for pubtication. Specimen geometry and testing devices for creep testing wi11 be proposed as the creep testing standard. An approximation method ofsteady creep curves will be also proposed, Accurate

... ep-fatigue life prediction methods will be proposed. Finite conclusions will be obtained until the MEM conference. so that rigid standard testing methods for creep and creep-fatigue testing will be presented at the conference.
