5.18.4 Identification of changes. Changes to standards shall include vertical lines, asterisks, or other markings at the margins of the pages to indicate where modifications have been made. Only modifications made by the current change shall be notated. Modifications made by previous changes shall not be notated. The note below shall be included as the last paragraph in section 6 of the standard. The words "vertical lines" may be replaced with whatever method is used to denote changes.

"6.X Change notations. The margins of this standard are marked with vertical lines to indicate modifications generated by this change. This was done as a convenience only and the Government assumes no liability whatsoever for any inaccuracies in these notations. Bidders and contractors are cautioned to evaluate the requirements of this document based on the entire content irrespective of the marginal notations."

5.18.4.1 Identification of modifications for standards that contain individual tasks, requirements, or test methods (see 5.11.1). When a change is used to revise an individual task, requirement, or test method rather than revising the entire standard, a note shall be placed at the bottom of first page to indicate that the change resulted in a revision of the task, requirement, or test method and the date of the revision. See figure 8 for an example.
