A lézerdiffrakciós szemcseanalízis egy korszerű módszer a talajmechanikai vizsgálatokban, ám egy egységes mérési szabvány bevezetése (akár műszerhez köthetően) nagymértékben növelné a mérések reprodukálhatóságát. A mérések tekintetében kiemelt szerepe van az előkészítő módszereknek (talajszerkezetet kialakító kötőanyagok roncsolása, elemi szemcsék diszpergálása), azonban ezen a téren is hiányzik az egységes szabványosítás. A tanulmányozott közlemények alapján megállapítható, hogy mind az optimális mintaelőkészítési módszer, mind pedig a legmegfelelőbb műszerbeállítás nagymértékben függ a mérni kívánt minta fizikai és kémiai sajátságaitól. A mérési eredmények hagyományos ülepítéses módszerrel kapott eredményekkel történő összehasonlítására szolgáló konverziós módszerek (frakció mérethatárváltások, illetve konverziós egyenletek) használhatósága is talajminta- és LDM vizsgálati módszer-függő. A lézeres szemcseanalízis alkalmazása a talajok aggregátum-stabilitás vizsgálata során ígéretes módszertani lehetőség, ám a mérések értelmezése és az összahasonlíthatóság megteremtése végett ezen a téren is elkerülhetetlen a szabványosítás.
