Hi,
I'm putting together a bid for doing on a HD recovery and their RFP calls out a standard that I'm not familiar with, “ASTM E860-97, "Standard Practices for Examining and Testing Items That Are or May Become Involved in Litigation."
I wanted to find out more about it before buying a copy of the standard for review, has anyone seen/used this? Any “gotcha's” I should be aware of?
The feeling I'm getting is it's largely based on the practices established by groups like ISCFE, IOCE, etc.
Thanks for the help
Terry
Never seen it, never used it or been asked to use it, never heard of it until I read this message.

hogfly - I had the same response when I read it the RFP lol
Looking at ASTMs site it lists the standard as being 2 pages, I can't image there much there if it's that small.
Thanks for your reply
Never hear of it. However my Brother-in-Law who is a Quality Control Engineer in the automotive industry knows about it. His comment was that perhaps in the most general of concepts it could be applied to other investigative practices. But it is typically a standard for the process used to investigate materials or chemicals used in product liability cases.

Thanks BitHead, I appreciate the information.
