Frye standard The Frye" standard, Frye" test, or general acceptance test is a test to determine the admissibility of scientific evidence. It provides that expert opinion based on a scientific technique is admissible only where the technique is generally accepted as reliable in the relevant scientific community. In "Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals", 509 U.S. 579 (1994), the Supreme Court held that the Federal Rules of Evidence superseded "Frye" as the standard for admissibility of expert evidence in federal courts. Some states, however, still adhere to the "Frye" standard.
