23、oncrete.6.2 Laboratory Correlation TestingIf there are differencesof practical significance between reported test results for twolaboratories (or more) a comparative test should be performedto determine if there is a statistical bias between them, usingcompetent statistical assistance. As a minimum,

24、 use testsamples that are as homogeneous as possible, drawn from thematerial from which the disparate test results were obtained,and randomly assigned in equal numbers to each laboratory fortesting. The test results from the two laboratories should becompared using a statistical test for unpaired da

If a bias isfound either its cause must be found and corrected or future testresults for that material must be adjusted in consideration of theknown bias.7. Sampling and Number of Specimens7.1 Take samples as directed in the applicable ma

In the absence of an applicable material specification,or other agreement, take a lot sample and laboratory samples asdirected in Practices D2258 or D3218.NOTE 1An adequate specification or other agreement between thepurchaser

27、and the supplier requires taking into account variability betweenshipping units, between packages, or ends within a shipping unit, andbetween specimens from a single package so as to provide a sampling planwith a meaningful producers risk, consumers risk, acceptable qualitylevel, and limiting qualit
