Note 1—The precision ofthe method is best when the procedure is performed on samples that ‘conisin agaregates that are completely coated. In order to assure complete coating, itis desirable to perform the method on samples that are close to the optimum asphalt binder content. 12. ‘The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard, 13, This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. tis the responsibility of the user of his standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior 10 use. 14. ‘The quality of the results produced by this standard are dependent on the competence of the ‘personnel performing the procedure and the capability, caltbration, and maintenance of the ‘equipment used. Agencies that meet the criteria of R 18 are generally considered capable of ‘competent and objective testing/sampling/inspection/etc. Users ofthis standard are cautioned that Compliance with R 18 alone does not completely assure reliable results. Reliable results depend ‘on many factors; following the suggestions of R 18 or some similar acceptable guideline provides a means of evaluating and controlling some of those factors. 2 REFERENCED DOCUMENTS, 24.
