Comparative tracking index (CTI)
Comparative tracking index is expressed as that voltage which causes tracking after 50 drops of 0.1 percent ammonium chloride solution have fallen on the material. The results of testing the nominal 3 mm thickness are considered representative of the material's performance in any thickness.
| CTI range | PLC |
| 600 and greater | 0 |
| 400 through 599 | 1 |
| 250 through 399 | 2 |
| 175 through 249 | 3 |
| 100 through 174 | 4 |
| Less than 100 | 5 |
