This practice may be supplemented by more specific criteria and requirements for particular projects.
1.3 This practice can be used as a basis to evaluate testing and inspection agencies, or both, and is intended for use for the qualifying or accrediting, or both, of testing or inspection agencies, public or private, engaged in the testing and inspection of soil and rock as used in engineering design and construction.
1.4 To qualify for accreditation to this standard, the agency must include at least five standards relating to testing methods, inspection methods, or both, from the standards covered under the jurisdictions of Committee D18, in its certificate of accreditation.
1.5 This practice is applicable to all standards which include a reference to Practice D3740.

This document cannot replace education or experience and should be used in conjunction with professional judgment. Not all aspects of this practice may be applicable in all circumstances.
