Work Item
ASTM WK95994
Revision of E3076-18e2 Standard Practice for Determination of the Slope in the Linear Region of a Test Record
Rationale
(#4 Change quality metric failures to warnings) It is not uncommon that at least one quality metric is failed, but that the quality of the predicted linear fit is excellent. Even if the test lab or analyst reviews the ASTM E3076-18 results and signs off on the appropriateness of the output, use of the word “Fail” may raise unwarranted concern with customers over validity of the results. This work item will change “fail” to “not pass” or “warn.”
