This will limit the filed of application of the term and definition to that approved by this committee.

In some cases, a relevant D01 subcommittee is also listed. Definitions influenced by those used by other organizations are indicated by the acronym of the organization. Primary terms are given in bold, while narrower and unapproved terms are given in italics.
1.3 There are several specialized terminology standards under the jurisdiction of Committee D01, as follows: D 804, D 1695, D 6440, D 6488, and D 7188. Few definitions from those standards are included in Terminology D 16. Therefore, in searches for definitions of paints and coatings terms, these standards should be included where appropriate.
