<h3> Specified limiting values </h3>

<h5> 6.1 Specified limiting values </h5>

<h5>'''6.1.1'''</h5> The heating fuel oil shall comply with the specified limiting values. The specified limiting values shall not be changed. This precludes any allowances for the test method precision and for adding or subtracting digits.<br>

'''6.1.1''' The heating fuel oil shall comply with the specified limiting values. The specified limiting values shall not be changed. This precludes any allowances for the test method precision and for adding or subtracting digits.<br>

'''6.1.2''' For purposes of determining conformance with the specified limiting values, an observed value or a calculated value shall be rounded off “to the nearest unit” in the last right-hand digit used in expressing the specified limiting value, in accordance with the rounding-off method of [https://www.astm.org/Standards/E29.htm ASTM E29]. There are two exceptions (see [[6.3]] and 6.17).<br>

'''6.1.4''' Where test values differ between two parties, a resolution shall be in accordance with [https://www.astm.org/Standards/D3244.htm ASTM 3244] in order to determine conformance with the specified limiting values, with the criticality of the limits set at P = 0.5.<br>

<h5> 6.2 Test methods </h5>

'''6.2.1''' Test methods other than those referenced in this standard may be used only if they have been validated in accordance with ASTM D3764 or D6708.<br>
