    material in soils or graded aggregates.

    1.2. The following applies to all specified limits in this standard: For the purpose of determining
    conformance with these specifications, an observed value or a calculated value shall be rounded
    off “to the nearest unit” in the last right-hand place of figures used in expressing the limiting
    value, in accordance with ASTM E29, Using Significant Digits in Test Data to Determine
    Conformance with Specifications.

    1.3. The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.

    1.4. This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standard does
