8、n isadvised,since information on between-laboratory precision islimited.Comparative tests as directed in 5.1.1 may be advis-able.5.1.1 In case of a dispute arising from differences inreported test results when using this test method for acceptancetesting of commercial shipments,the purchaser and the
9、 sup-plier should conduct comparative tests to determine if there isa statistical bias between their laboratories.Competent statis-tical assistance is recommended for the investigation of bias.As a minimum,the two parties should take a group of testspecimens that are as homogeneous as possible and t
10、hat arefrom a lot of material of the type in question.The testspecimens should then be randomly assigned in equal numbersto each laboratory for testing.The average results from the twolaboratories should be compared using Students t-test forunpaired data and an acceptable probability level chosen by
11、 thetwo parties before the testing is begun.If a bias is found,eitherits cause must be found and corrected or the purchaser and thesupplier must agree to interpret future test results in the light ofthe known bias.5.2 Chemically damaged or tendered fibers are recognizablemicroscopically by qualified
12、 operators and should not becounted as partial cleavages.Such fibers exhibit total loss ofcuticle,severe surface erosion,tenderizing cracks,longitudinalfibrillation,or a combination of these features(see Figs.1 and2).In a study of deliberately over-carbonized wool at onelaboratory,it was found that
