10、0.1% is prohibited (see 7.3). MSDS indicating conformance shall be provided. (See 4.1). 3.2 Form. The material shall be furnished in continuous length rolls or sheets, in nominal thickness, as specified. When Style A is specified, the rolls or sheets shall be perforated at specified distances. 3.3 D
11、imensions. Rolls and perforated rolls shall be not less than the specified length. The width shall be as specified, with a tolerance of 6.4 mm (plus or minus 1/4 inch).

The material shall be free from cracks, cuts, holes, chafed spots, or other imperfections that may impair its appeara
15、nce and serviceability. It shall be free from dirt, mold release compounds, contamination, or other foreign matter. 3.5 Shelf Life. This CID covers items where the assignment of a Federal shelf life code is a consideration. 3.5.1 Specific shelf-life requirements shall be specified in the contract or

18、to certify that after 36 months of storage under normal warehouse conditions (temperature 45 degrees Fahrenheit to 120 degrees Fahrenheit and 20% to 90% RH), the Grade B material having the same nomenclature and manufactured under comparable conditions will be able to pass the electrostatic decay ti
19、me and the surface resistivity tests of paragraphs 3.6.2 and 3.6.3 respectively. 3.6 Physical Properties. The material shall pass the applicable requirements specified below. 3.6.1 Creep (Type I). The creep shall be not more than 10% when tested after 7 days, in accordance with ASTM D 2221, using a
20、load of 0.25 + or 0.005psi. 3.6.2 Electrostatic Decay Time (Grade B).

If applicable, the contracting activity shall be provided a MSDS prior to contract award. The MSDS shall be prepared and submitted
23、 in accordance with FED-STD-313 and 29 CFR 1910.1200. In the event of a conflict, 29 CFR 1910.1200 shall take precedence. The MSDS shall be included with each shipment covered by this document. (See 7.2). 4.2 Recovered materials. The offeror/contractor is encouraged to use recovered materials to the
24、 maximum extent practicable, in accordance with paragraph 23.403 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). However, compliance with the recovered materials program does not relieve the contractor from meeting all other contractual requirements. The performance characteristics of this CID take pre
25、cedence over recovered content requirements. 5. PRODUCT CONFORMANCE 5.1 Product Conformance. The product provided shall meet the salient characteristics of this CID, conform to the producers own drawings, specifications, standards, and quality assurance practices, and be the same product offered for
26、 sale in the commercial market. The government reserves the right to require proof of such conformance. 6. PACKAGING. Preservation, packing, and marking shall be as specified in the contract or order. 7. NOTES 7.1 Intended use. The materials described are intended for use within packages. Transparen
27、t materials are especially suitable for use in inserts within transparent bags and envelopes to permit inspection of the contents. The materials are also used as bags, wraps, dunnage, and as filler. Maximum transparency is obtained when use is limited to one thickness. 7.2 Material Safety Data Sheet
28、s. Contracting officers will identify those activities requiring copies of completed MSDS prepared in accordance with FED-STD-313 and 29 CFR 1910.1200.

32、vironmental Health Center. The following precautions during handling are recommended: 7.3.1.1 Cotton gloves. Cotton gloves should be worn. Gloves should be changed at the end of the work shift and laundered before reuse, or discarded. Gloves should be changed more frequently if they fail to provide
33、protection against skin contamination during the workday. 7.3.1.2 Ventilation. Good general ventilation should be provided to ensure that significant airborne levels of dust from fire retardant packaging materials do not accumulate in work areas. Questions should be referred to the local Industrial
34、Hygienist for review. If dust generation is unavoidable, a National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health/Mine Safety and Health Administration approved respirator, selected based on the exposure of concern, must be provided and used. Contact the local Industrial Hygienist for specific guidan
35、ce pertaining to requests for training and use of approved respirators. 7.4 Ordering data. The contract or order should specify the following: a. Title, number, and date of this CID. b.
