In the case of conflictbetween a requirement of the product specification or arequirement
5、of this specification and a more stringent require-ment of the purchase order, the purchase order shall prevail.The purchase order requirements shall not take precedence ifthey, in any way, violate the requirements of the productspecification or this specification; for example, by waiving atest requ
6、irement or by making a test requirement less stringent.1.3 The requirements for introduction of new materials inspecifications referencing this specification are given in AnnexA1.1.4 General requirements for flat-rolled stainless steel prod-ucts other than bar are covered in Specification A480/A480M
7、.1.5 General requirements for wire products in coils arecovered in Specification A555/A555M.1.6 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used indepen
