Abstract
This review describes the development and status of tracking research in Japan. First, the fundamentals of tracking and the influences of environmental stresses on tracking will be treated. Then, the principal tracking test methods currently in use will be characterized. Finally, some techniques for improving the tracking resistance of outdoor polymer insulating materials will be discussed.
