Standard Practice for Examining and Preparing Items That Are or May Become Involved in Criminal or Civil Litigation

Importancia y uso:

4.1 This practice establishes procedures to be followed by the forensic science practitioner to document the nature, state, or condition of items of evidence. It also describes specific actions that are required for destructive testing if planned testing, examination, disassembly, or other actions are likely to alter the nature, state, or condition of the evidence so as to preclude or adversely limit additional examination or testing.

4.2 Deviations from this practice are not necessarily wrong or inferior, but such deviations should be justified and documented.
