Classification.

In addition to general requirements to

 

assess volume and density there is a

 

need to relate stone frequency (stones

 

per cubic metre or tonne) to stone size

 

(carats per stone) to derive grade

 

(carats per tonne). The elements of

 

uncertainty in these estimates should be

 

considered, and classification developed

 

accordingly.

Generic Terms and Equivalents

Throughout the Code, certain words are used in a general sense when a more specific meaning might be attached to them by particular commodity groups within the industry.
