abstract = {Component development for operation in a large-scale fusion
device requires thorough testing and qualification for the
intended operational conditions. In particular environments
are necessary which are comparable to the real operation
conditions, allowing at the same time for in situ/in vacuo
diagnostics and flexible operation, even beyond design
limits during the testing. Various electron and neutral
particle devices provide the capabilities for high heat load
tests, suited for material samples and components from
lab-scale dimensions up to full-size parts, containing toxic
materials like beryllium, and being activated by neutron
irradiation. To simulate the conditions specific to a fusion
plasma both at the first wall and in the divertor of fusion
devices, linear plasma devices allow for a test of erosion
and hydrogen isotope recycling behavior under well-defined
and controlled conditions. Finally, the complex conditions
in a fusion device (including the effects caused by magnetic
fields) are exploited for component and material tests by
exposing test mock-ups or material samples to a fusion
plasma by manipulator systems. They allow for easy exchange
of test pieces in a tokamak or stellarator device, without
opening the vessel. Such a chain of test devices and
qualification procedures is required for the development of
plasma-facing components which then can be successfully
operated in future fusion power devices. The various
available as well as newly planned devices and test stands,
together with their specific capabilities, are presented in
this manuscript. Results from experimental programs on test
facilities illustrate their significance for the
qualification of plasma-facing materials and components. An
extended set of references provides access to the current
status of material and component testing capabilities in the
international fusion programs},
