1.2 Excluded from the scope of this guide are technical considerations for enclosure design that do not pertain directly to acoustical performance.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
