1.4 ,The text of this standard references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) are not requirements of the standard.

1.5 ,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 to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For a specific precautionary statement, see X1.2.1.

1.6 ,This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.


Rationale:

These test methods cover the physical testing of gypsum, gypsum plasters, and gypsum concrete. Test methods are detailed for the following: precautions for physical tests, reagents and materials, free water, fineness, normal consistency of gypsum plaster and gypsum concrete, setting time, setting time (temperature rise method), compressive strength, and density. Materials include distilled or deionized water and standard sand. For each test method, the following are specified: significance and use, apparatus, and procedure.
