If the test samples from both representative samples pass the appropriate test procedure, then the inspection lot represented shall be deemed to conform to the particular characteristic of this standard. If a test sample fails a test procedure, the inspection lot represented shall be deemed not to conform to this standard. 7.5 Rounding of results For the purposes of determining conformity to the compositional limits specified in this standard, a value obtained from a test procedure shall be rounded in accordance with the following procedure which is based upon the guidance given in EN ISO 80000-1:2013, Annex B. It shall be rounded in one step to the same number of figures used to express the specified limit in this standard. The following rules shall be used for rounding: a) if the figure immediately after the last figure to be retained is less than 5, the last figure to be retained shall be kept unchanged; b) if the figure immediately after the last figure to be retained is equal to or greater than 5, the last figure to be retained shall be increased by one. 8 Packaging Any form of packaging shall be agreed between the purchaser and the supplier.
