This specification may be supplemented by more specific criteria, such as that in Specification E 329, and requirements for particular projects.
1.3 This specification can be used as a basis to evaluate testing or inspection agencies, or both, and is intended for use for the qualifying or accrediting, or both, of testing or inspection agencies, public or private, engaged in the testing and inspection of road and paving materials.
