What happens if we find an old standard test method without a precision and bias statement? Is it grandfathered in?
The Form and Style for ASTM Standards mandates that all test methods contain a precision and bias statement. If a test method is discovered that does not contain this section, an evaluation should be immediately performed to determine the utility of the document and then steps should be undertaken to address the inclusion of a precision and bias statement.
