The word "shall" is used to indicate mandatory requirements to conform to the standard. The word "should" is used to indicate that among several possibilities one IS recommended as particularly suitable without mentioning or excluding others. In the preparation of this standard, the following documents/publications were considered: W. H. Hasting and D. Higgs.
