1.2 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. (Warning—Mercury is a definite health hazard in use and disposal. (See 14.1.))
Note 1—A complete metric companion to Specification B 543 has been developed—B 543M; therefore, no metric equivalents are presented in this specification.
