Human Resources6.1 The manager of the laboratory shall be a chemist, materials analyst
25、, or an engineer and a full-time employee of theorganization having at least three years supervisory experience in the testing of hydraulic cement; however, a person withequivalent science-oriented education or experience having satisfactorily directed testing of hydraulic cement is acceptable.7. Te
26、sting and Additional Requirements7.1 Testing RequirementsThe organization shall have the capability of performing tests associated with its range of services(see Note 2). The laboratory shall have the facilities and equipment required for preparing, storing, conditioning, and testingspecimens.NOTE 2
27、The range of services of a testing laboratory may involve either chemical testing or physical testing, or both.
