Under the title Basic Materials and Methods, the materials and methods common to multiple specification sections within a particular division are defined, beginning with Division 2. Therefore, the user is left to infer much of their purpose, benefit, and content, and they are often unused. Given their potential benefits, a discussion and some broad recommendations for using them is merited.
