17、product. A standard commercialproduct is a product that has been sold or is currently beingoffered for sale on the commercial market throughadvertisements, manufacturers catalogs, or brochures andrepresents the latest production model.6.2 Tread DesignThe upper surface of tread shall haveone or a com
18、bination of the following:Class 1 Smooth (Flat)Class 2 Pattern: Embossed, Grooved, or RibbedGroup 1 Abrasive Strips: EmbeddedGroup 2 Contrasting Color for Visually Impaired6.2.1 Class 1, Smooth (Flat)The tread surface shall besmooth and flat.6.2.2 Class 2, Pattern: Embossed, Grooved, or RibbedWhen t
19、he surface is embossed, grooved or ribbed, the depth ofthe design shall not be greater than 50 % of the overallthickness of the tread.6.2.3 Group 1, Abrasive Strips (Embedded)Whenspecified, one or more mineral-coated abrasive grit strips, eachstrip not less than 0.030-in. (0.76 mm) thick, shall be r
20、ecessedinto and adhered to the top surface of a smooth surface treadportion to form a continuous flat surface overall. Each stripshall run the full length of the treads and shall be parallel to thenose of the tread. The front edge of the first strip shall be notmore than 1 in. (25.4 mm) from the nos
21、e of the step or landing.If a second strip is used, it shall be34 (19 mm) to 112 in. (38mm) from the first strip.6.2.4 Group 2, Contrasting Color for Visually ImpairedThe tread shall contain a strip of contrasting color of either thesame material or an abrasive material.6.3 Nosing StyleNosing style
