The content of this Standard Practice isthe result of the efforts of competent and ‘concerned volunteers to provide an effective, clear, and non-exclusive specification that will benefit the industry aa whole. This MSS Standard Practice is intended asa basis for common practice by the manufacturer, the user, fand the general public. The existence of an MSS Standard Practice does notin itself preclude the manufacture, sale, or use of products not conforming to the Standard Practice, Mandatory conformance is established only by reference in a code, specification, sales contest, or public law, a applicable.
