The methods and techniques used in Categories 1, 2, and 3 are the least reliable because of their subjective nature as well as the ever-present potential for human error. These methods are valuable, however, as adjuncts in identification procedures in a total exclusionary and inclusionary comparison. The methods and techniques described in Category 4 have a more scientific basis, but still caution must be used, and, prior to the completion of the death certificate, a complete evaluation should be made of all techniques employed in the identification.
第1、2和3类中使用的方法和技术最不可靠，因为它们具有主观性，而且始终存在人为错误的可能性。然而，这些方法作为完全排除和纳入比较的识别程序中的辅助手段是有价值的。第4类中描述的方法和技术有更科学的基础，但仍必须谨慎使用，并且在完成死亡证明之前，应对识别中使用的所有技术进行全面评估。
