Limits are in mass percent maximum unless shown as a range or stated otherwise.

For purposes of determining conformance to these limits, an observed value or a calculated value attained from analysis shall be rounded to the nearest unit in the
last righthand place of figures used in expressing the specified limit, in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice E 29.
D
Others includes listed elements for which no specific limit is shown as well as unlisted metallic elements. The producer may analyze samples for trace elements not
specified in the specification. However, such analysis is not required and may not cover all metallic Others elements. Should any analysis by the producer or the purchaser
establish that an Others element exceeds the limit of Each or that the aggregate of several Others elements exceeds the limit of Total, the material shall be considered
non-conforming.
