Test Methods13.1 Responsibility for InspectionUnless otherwise speci-fied in the contract or order, the manufacturer is responsi
38、ble forthe performance of all inspection requirements in this specifi-cation.13.2 Responsibility for ComplianceAll items must meetall requirements of Sections 7 through 17.

47、cts in DimensionsThe sampleunit for this examination shall be one roll. (See Table 5.)13.5 Testing End ItemThe end item shall be tested for theapplicable characteristics in Table 6. The lot size for purposesof determining the sample size shall be expressed in units ofrolls of one type, grade, class,
48、 and size. The sample unit shallconsist of a sufficient length of tape to perform all of the tests.The first three layers of tape shall be removed from the rollsbefore taking any specimens for test.
