... 17 CHAPTER 4- CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 4.1 Conclusions Reliable determination of organic content of a soil is an integral part of evaluating suitability of a soil for pavement applications. AASHTO T267 test method "Determination of Organic Content in Soils by Loss on Ignition" lacks precision estimates, which are required for reliable measurement of organic content.

... 18 4.2 Recommendations Currently, AASHTO Test Method T267 lacks precision estimates that would define the accuracy requirements for organic content measurements in soils. It is recommended that the precision statement in Appendix E, which is prepared based on analysis of the data collected through an interlaboratory study be published in AASHTO T267.
