2 Means for demonstrating compliance with the requirements for strength are given in Appendix A. 

3 Guidance on means for demonstrating compliance with this Standard is given in Appendix B. 

4.Guidance on determination of characteristic value is given in Appendix C. 

5.Purchasing guidelines are given in Appendix D. 

6 Guidance on optional additional testing is given in Appendix E.
