RECOMMENDED WORK PRACTICES FOR REMOVAL OF RESILIENT FLOORCOVERINGSThe following supplementary requirements shall apply only when specified

42、 by the purchaser in thepurchase order or contract.S1.1 Asbestos WarningDo not sand, dry sweep, dry scrape, drill, saw, beadblast, or mechanically chip or pulverize existingresilient flooring, backing, lining felt, paint, asphaltic “cutback” adhesives, or other adhesives. These products may containa

43、sbestos fibers or crystalline silica. Avoid creating dust. Inhalation of such dust is a cancer and respiratory tract hazard. Smokingby individuals exposed to asbestos fibers greatly increases the risk of serious bodily harm. Unless positively certain that the productis a non-asbestos-containing mate

44、rial, you must presume it contains asbestos. Regulations may require that the material be testedto determine asbestos content. The Resilient Floor Covering Institute (RFCI) document, “Recommended Work Practices forRemoval of Resilient Floor Coverings,” should be consulted for a defined set of instru

45、ctions addressed to the task of removing allresilient floor covering structures.S1.2 Lead Paint CautionCertain paints may contain lead. Exposure to excessive amounts of lead dust presents a health hazard.Refer to applicable federal, state, and local laws and, “Lead-Based Paint: Interim Guidelines fo

46、r Hazard Identification andAbatement in Public and Indian Housing,” (September 1990) or subsequent editions published by the U.S. Department of Housingand Urban Development regarding: (1)Appropriate methods for identifying lead-based paint and removing such paint; and (2) anylicensing, certification

47、, and training requirements for persons performing lead abatement work.S1.3 Adhesive Remover CautionThere are a number of commercial adhesive removers on the market that will properly removeadhesive residue from a subfloor, however, there are concerns that these products can adversely affect the bon

48、ding of the new floorcovering. The Resilient Floor Covering Institute (RFCI) document, “Recommended Work Practices for Removal of Resilient FloorCoverings,” and the resilient flooring manufacturers written instructions should be consulted for a defined set of instructions whichshould be followed if

49、existing adhesives must be removed (see S1.1).S1.4 Residual Asphalt Adhesive(Also see S1.1 and S1.3.) Many resilient floorings may not be installed when residual asphaltadhesive residue is present. Consult the Resilient Flooring Manufacturers written recommendations concerning use of resilientflooring products in these situations.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this standard.
