ASTM C1297-95e1 - 1.1.1995
 
1. Scope

1.1 This guide covers the qualification of analysts to perform chemical analysis or physical measurements of nuclear fuel cycle materials. The guidance is general in that it is applicable to all analytical methods, but must be applied method by method. Also, the guidance is general in that it may be applied to initial qualification or requalification.

1.2 The guidance is provided in the following sections:

Section Qualification Considerations 4 Demonstration Process 5 Statistical Tests 6

1.3 This standard does not apply to maintaining qualification during routine use of a method. Maintaining qualification is included in Guide C1210.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
