IMPORTANT!: This is a 2024 test that is still accepting enrollments under our Late Order Purchase (LOP) plan. Please select Credit Card as the payment method during the checkout process.

This version is a digital download format.

This test contains two sections: angle of impact and pattern description. The angle of impact section requires the analyst to determine the angle at which blood has impacted the target surface. The pattern description section requires the analyst to recognize, identify, and describe patterns on bloodstained targets. Samples are available in a choice of photographs or as a digital download.

The images are the same for all formats.

Test 5605 is only available online. Images are transmitted via a digital download from a zip folder (.tif format). Due to large file sizes, advanced photo image software may be required to open and view these images.  Participants are not limited to conducting only on-screen comparisons and may employ any other method. However, because of differences in printing technology, CTS cannot guarantee the quality of images printed from the digital media.  

All digital download test materials, including samples and response form, are only available on www.cts-portal.com. The information necessary to access the test materials will be provided via e-mail to the primary contact on file on the day of the test release.

This test is included on CTS' Scope of Accreditation to ISO/IEC 17043:2010.

Test materials are made available in June.  All formats are released at the same time and contain the same images; reporting aspects of all formats are also combined.
