Is Time-Temperature Really Important?

The 503 Regulations outline specific Time-Temperature Regimes that must be met in order to qualify under Class "A" for Alternatives 1 & 2. Many facilities are actually operating outside of the prescribed time-temperature and considering their end product to be Class "A" Material, under the assumption that the Regulations are unnecessarily stringent and what they are doing is "good enough". This raises the question of whether time and temperature is really important.
