Note 1:
The quality of results produced by this standard is dependent on the competence of the personnel performing the procedure and the capability, calibration, and maintenance of the equipment used. Agencies that meet the criteria of Specification
D3666
are generally considered capable of competent and objective testing, sampling, inspection, etc. Users of this standard are cautioned that compliance with Specification
D3666
alone does not completely ensure reliable results. Reliable results depend on many factors; following the suggestions of Specification
D3666
or some similar acceptable guidance provide a means of evaluating and controlling some of those factors.
