8.3.1.1
Summary Section. A Summary or Introduction section at
the start may present the scope and purpose of the work. Care
must be taken here to avoid any repetition of work described
elsewhere in the document, because any variations in description
can result in problems of interpretation. Thus, many
specification writers prefer to use only the title of the
specification to introduce the document.
8.3.1.2
Reference Section. The reference section, sometimes
called "Applicable Documents," includes a listing of documents
used in the specification and no others. Others included only
for general information may be interpreted as requirements.
Listed references form a part of the specification to the extent
indicated.
a) Industry specifications and standards, such as
those of the SSPC, are preferred to Government standards for
equivalent products or processes. Their issuing organization,
number, and latest issue are normally listed. Unless otherwise
indicated, the issue in effect on the day of invitation for bids
applies. Where alternative standards occur, the normal order of
precedence is:
(1)
Industry documents
(2)
Commercial item descriptions (CIDs)
(3)
Federal documents
(4)
Military documents
b) This should not be confused with the order in which
they are normally sequenced in the specification reference
listing - alphabetically, by organization name, or by document
category name. For example:
(1)
American Society for Testing and Materials
(ASTM)
(2)
Commercial item descriptions
