The basis for their vote seems to center on their review of another document (N2162 - Test Methods for 2003.1b), and their assumption that CD 13210 "...only seems to be worthwhile in combination with standards containing test methods specifications..". Response: The assumption is incorrect. CD 13210 is a stand-alone document, and does not require the use of test method specifications (i.e. N2162) for any purpose. _______________________end of document SC22 N2446___________________
