10、with the deter-mination of a skid number(SN)and attempts to quantify theimpact that each variable may have upon the accurate deter-mination of an SN.Phase Three is the dynamic validationprocess,based upon the variables confirmed in Phase Two.4.2 The approach is based upon Test Method E274 but withmu
