(Specification)Standard Specification for Design and Construction of Composition or Quality Constituent Measuring Devices or Systems
Standard Specification for Design and Construction of Composition or Quality Constituent Measuring Devices or Systems
ABSTRACT
This specification covers the design and construction requirements for electronic devices or systems that measure the composition or quality constituents of live animals, livestock and poultry carcasses, and individual cuts of meat, or a combination thereof. Examples include, but are not limited to, half and whole carcasses, primals, subprimals, and boxed meat. The devices shall meet specified requirements for units of measure, operating temperature, tolerance to environmental disturbances, error messages, manual and checklists, and reference materials.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the requirements for design and construction of electronic devices or systems for measuring composition or quality constituents of live animals, livestock and poultry carcasses, and individual cuts of meat, or a combination thereof. Examples include, but are not limited, to half and whole carcasses, primals, subprimals, and boxed meat.
1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory requirements prior to use.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
