A ASAE is a professional and technical organization, of members worldwide, who are dedicated to advancement of
engineering applicable to agricultural, food, and biological systems. ASAE Standards are consensus documents
developed and adopted by the American Society of Agricultural Engineers to meet standardization needs within the scope
of the Society; principally agricultural field equipment, farmstead equipment, structures, soil and water resource
N
management, turf and landscape equipment, forest engineering, food and process engineering, electric power
applications, plant and animal environment, and waste management.
Technical and Editorial Change Notation: The symbol T preceding or in the margin adjacent to section headings,
paragraph numbers, figure captions, or table headings indicates a technical change was incorporated in that area when
this document was last revised. The symbol T preceding the title of a document indicates essentially the entire document
has been revised. The symbol E used similarly indicates editorial changes or corrections have been made with no
D
intended change in the technical meaning of the document.
NOTE: ASAE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data are informational and advisory only. Their use by anyone
engaged in industry or trade is entirely voluntary. The ASAE assumes no responsibility for results attributable to the
application of these ASAE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data. Conformity does not ensure compliance with
applicable ordinances, laws and regulations. Prospective users are responsible for protecting themselves against liability
for infringement of patents.
A This standard may be designated ANSI/ASAE. If so, this standard is an American National/ASAE Standard as
determined by the accreditation of the ASAE by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Approval of an
American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other
criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer.
Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been
reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority,
R
but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort
be made toward their resolution.
CAUTION NOTICE: In the case that this standard is an ANSI/ASAE standard, this American National Standard may be
revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be
taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard. Purchasers of American National Standards may receive
current information on all standards by calling or writing the American National Standards Institute.
