Rationale

This item appeared on a renewal ballot closing on January 22, 2025, where it received one negative. This revision addresses the renewal ballot negative. The rationale behind the negative are as follows: 1. Sections 3.2.3, 3.2.4 - each of these definitions contains more than one sentence. This is not permitted by ASTM Form and Style, E4.4. Definitions should be limited to a single sentence (semi-colons are permitted to join phrases) with additional information in a subsequent Discussion paragraph. 2. Mercury is cited in 7.6, 7.7, and 13.2. The mercury caveat in ASTM Form and Style is required. 3. Section 14.2 - Precision is mentioned, but no information on bias is mentioned. If bias information is not available, the applicable exception statement in ASTM Form and Style, A21.5, needs to be added
