Where a product may be covered by morethan one ANSI/BIFMA standard, the manufacturer shall determine which standard provides themost appropriate test conditions. Where a product is intended for use outside of the commercialoffice and related institutional environments, it is the responsibility of the user of this standard todetermine if it is suitable for use in such evaluations.
