During the yard-by-yard examinat
32、ions, each roll or flat-folded piece in the sample shall be examined for shade. Any roll or flat-folded piece in the sample off shade or shaded side to side, side to center, or end to end shall be cause for rejection of the entire lot represented by the sample. 5.3.5 Marking examination. During the
33、yard-by-yard examination, each roll or flat-folded piece shall be examined for marking.
