1. Rationale

1. Updated precision and bias statement based on ILS NOv 2004. 2. Changes to dimensions of kits and materials fo consistency with commercially available products. 3. Clarify surface preparation for consistency and to be sure that surfaces are clean concrete for all tests. 4. Clarify need for waiting period after surface prep for previously covered floors and that such a waiting period is not required for new concrete or floors that have not been covered. 5. Clarify that floors designed for service at hot or cold temperatures (e.g.- refrigerators) should be tested at standard conditions for flooring installation. 6. Changes to scope to limit use to bare concrete floors, not over coatings, patching compounds, lighteight concrete, or slabs without vapor retarder.
