This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.

term is frequently used to express freedom from bias, but in other fields it assumes a broader meaning as a joint index of
precision and bias. To avoid confusion, the term bias will be used in appraising of the systematic error of test methods for
industrial chemicals. See also bias. E180, E15.04
