In this standard, the following print types are used: - Requirements and definitions: roman type. - Test specifications: italic type. - Informative material appearing outside of tables, such as notes, exampl
17、es and references: in smaller type. Normative text of tables is also in a smaller type. - TERMS DEFINED IN CLAUSE 3 OF THE GENERAL STANDARD, IN THIS PARTICULAR STANDARD OR AS NOTED: SMALL CAPITALS. In referring to the structure of this standard, the term - “clause” means one of the seventeen numbere
18、d divisions within the table of contents, inclusive of all subdivisions (e.g. Clause 7 includes subclauses 7.1, 7.2, etc.), - “subclause” means a numbered subdivision of a clause (e.g. 7.1, 7.2 and 7.2.1 are all subclauses of Clause 7). References to clauses within this standard are preceded by the
19、term “Clause” followed by the clause number. References to subclauses within this particular standard are by number only. In this standard, the conjunctive “or” is used as an “inclusive or” so a statement is true if any combination of the conditions is true. The verbal forms used in this standard co
20、nform to usage described in Annex H of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. For the purposes of this standard, the auxiliary verb: - “shall” means that compliance with a requirement or a test is mandatory for compliance with this standard; - “should” means that compliance with a requirement or a test is
21、recommended but is not mandatory for compliance with this standard; - “may” is used to describe a permissible way to achieve compliance with a requirement or test. An asterisk (*) as the first character of a title or at the beginning of a paragraph or table title indicates that there is guidance or
