Additional Test Sections
If the initial test section should prove to be unacceptable, the necessary
adjustments to the JMF, plant operation, placing procedures, and/or rolling
procedures shall be made. A second test section shall then be placed.
Additional test sections, as required, shall be constructed and evaluated
for conformance to the specifications. Full production shall not begin
until an acceptable section has been constructed and accepted.
