Section 1 may also include paragraphs on the standard's purpose, applicability, and classifications of items, materials, methods, practices, or processes. This section shall not contain requirements.

5.7.2 Classification. When applicable, types, grades, classes, or other classifications shall be listed under this heading in section 1 and shall be in accordance with accepted industry practice (see figure 1). The same designation shall be used throughout the standard. When more than one type, grade, class, or other classification is listed, each shall be briefly defined.

If it becomes necessary to change the designation without changing the characteristics of the item, a cross-reference shall be included
