11 ASTM Committee D-1 Policy

A. Preference of Units in D-1 Standards: Preference to metric units (SI) shall precede acceptable customary units in all cases where used. Customary units are acceptable but metric units are preferred. (For reference see Section H of the Form and Style for ASTM Standards Manual.

B. Recommended Editorial Practice for Chemical Calculation

1. To promote standardization in ASTM Methods of Test, the following symbols shall be used in chemical calculations:

a. B=Blank Determination D=Density or Specific Gravity N=Normality P=Precipitate Weight R=Residue Weight S=Sample Weight W =Other Weights V=Volume of Titrant in Actual Determination

b. Symbol for equivalents of solutions shall not be used relate to the material involved, e.g., Z for Zinc, M for Manganese, C for Calcium, etc.

c. The derivation of numerical factors used in calculations shall be explained simply; e.g., (Developed by Subcommittee D01.18, H. E. Ashton, Chairman, 1/26/73)

2. The same symbol shall not be used for different items the same standard without distinguishing subscripts. Different symbols shall not be used for the same item in the same standard.

C. Rating System: To promote uniformity in ASTM Methods of Test, the following scale shall be used for rating all subjective evaluations: RATING OR SCORE* PERFORMANCE OR PROPERTY** EFFECT OR CHANGE*** 10 Perfect None 8 Very Good Trace 6 Good Slight 4 Fair Moderate 2 Poor Severe 0 No Complete Failure * When the precision of the method allows better definition than the six ratings above, odd numbers may be added between the even numbers. The additional precision expected should be statistically verified before adding additional ratings. These rating numbers may not correspond to earlier methods which have arbitrary numbers assigned to certain levels of failure. ** e.g., Adhesion or Corrosion Resistance. *** e.g., Chalking or Color Change

D. Standard Conditions See D 3924, Specification for Standard Environment for Conditioning and Testing Paint, Varnish, Lacquer, and Related Materials.

E. Interlaboratory Testing See E 691, Practice for Conducting an Interlaboratory Study to Determine the Precision of a Test Method.

F. Terminology The primary source of definitions of terms used in standards under the control of D01 shall be D 16, Terminology for Paint, Related Coatings, Materials, and Applications. For usage limited to a subcommittee or a technical standard, more specialized terms and definitions may be provided in the subcommittee terminology standard, or the terminology section of the standard.
