7、ong-chainpolymers (that is, polyester, nylon, polypropylene).4.1.6 wet mopa mop constructed from strands or strips oftextile material (which could include spun yarn, filament yarn,non-woven fabric, and strips of knitted or woven fabric)designed for wet mopping.5. Classification5.1 Mops shall be clas

8、sified and labeled according tomaterial content:5.1.1 Cotton MopContent is 80 % or more cotton.5.1.2 Rayon MopConstructed with yarn composed of100 % man-made fibers with a minimum 50 % of the fibercontent composed of rayon fibers.5.1.3 Blend MopContent is a mixture of cotton, rayon andsynthetic fibe

9、rs where the cotton content is less than 80 % andthe rayon content is less than 50 %.5.1.4 Synthetic MopContent is 100 % man-made fibers.6. Requirements6.1 General:6.1.1 The required label shall be intact and on the mop orincluded with the printed packaging for each individual mop atthe time it is s

10、old.6.1.2 If attached to the mop, the label shall be located in anarea generally not in contact with the surface to be cleaned.6.1.3 The label, when placed on the container, shall notthereafter be covered, obstructed, or removed by distributors orretailers.6.1.4 The true weight in ounces shall appea

11、r on every moplabel. The actual weight, as determined by Testing Procedure7.2.1, shall not be more than one ounce lower than the statedweight.6.1.5 The classification as defined in Section 5 shall appearon every mop label (that is, “cotton,” “rayon,” “blend,” or“synthetic” mop).6.1.6 Products comply

12、ing with all the requirements of thisprovisional standard shall include “Meets ASTM F2368” orequivalent.6.1.7 There is no specified label format, only the informa-tion defined above is required.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F15 onConsumer Products and is the direct

Testing Procedures

15、7.1 Blend Classification:7.1.1 In order to determine the classification of a mopregarding fiber blend content, a quantitative chemical analysismust be performed on a sample of mop strands.7.1.2 Use Test Methods D629 or equivalent.7.1.3 Three separate lots, or strands of the mop, shall betested indiv

16、idually.7.1.4 Fiber content testing for classification purposes willconsist of three test lots. Classification will be determinedusing the average fiber content analysis for the three samplelots. Recognizing the inherent variability in fibers used in mopyarn, namely textile by-products, a tolerance

17、of 10 % variationwill be allowable in determining the classification of thesubject mop.7.2 Mop Weight Requirement:7.2.1 Mops shall be weighed on a scale with demonstratedrepeated accuracy of 0.10 oz.7.2.2 For mops that are detached from the handle or stick,the weight shall include the entire article

18、 which may includefabrics, plastic and metallic connectors permanently attachedto the mop strands.7.2.3 For mops that have the strands permanently attachedto the handle or stick, the strands of textile material must beremoved and weighed separately from the handle and hardwareattachment.7.2.4 The we

19、ight meeting the requirement in 6.1.4 shall bedefined as the average of twelve individual mop weighings.8.
