The values stated in ‘each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard, 1.3 This specification is expressed in both inch-pound and SI units, However, unless the order specifies the applicable “M” specification designation (SI units), the material shall be furnished in inch-pound units. 14 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard t0 establish appro- priate safety, health, and environmental practices and deter- ‘mine the applicability of regulatory limitarions prior to use. 15 This international standard was developed in accor- dance with internationally recognized principles on standard- ization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recom- ‘mendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committe. .
