SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 This practice is provided to develop and maintain uniformity in practices for instructions for treestands, particularly with regard to quality assurance and safety.

SCOPE
1.1 This practice provides guidance for providing user instructions for treestands.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
