A review of the current acoustic emission literature relating to fiber reinforced composite materials is presented. Summary tables which assist m the prompt delineation of the achievements in this research area are developed. Because of the qualitative character of much of the current literature, suggestions to develop quantitative AE standards are strongly recommended
