The depth dependent track etch rates of two types of CR-39, TASTRAK and BARYOTRAK, for Li-7 ions with incident energies of 4.82, 6.75 and 10.77 MeV have been evaluated from track length measurements. The pit lengths versus the etching time obtained by three different laboratories have the same trend, but did not agree completely. These differences can be attributed to an error margin of less than one decimal point in the etching temperature. Significant deviations were also present for the assessed track etch rates. Most of the deviation was attributed to the derivation step of the growth curves. A sufficient amount of data and reasonably smooth growth curves were required near the Bragg peak in order to make a precise estimation.
