Within the text, theSI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in eachsystem are not exact equivalents; therefore, each

4、 system shallbe used independently of the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in nonconformance with the specifi-cation.1.4 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to thetest methods portion, Section 14, of this specification: Thisstandard does not purport to address all

5、 of the safety concerns,if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the userof this standard to establish appropriate safety and healthpractices and determine the applicability of regulatory limita-tions prior to use.2.
