REQUIREMENTS 3Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-MIL-DTL-508K 3.1 Standard sample. The dyed and finished cloth shall match the standard sample for shade and app
22、earance and shall, unless otherwise indicated be equal to or better than the standard sample with respect to all characteristics for which the standard sample is referenced (see 6.3). 3.2 Recycled, recovered, or environmentally preferable materials. Recycled, recovered, or environmentally preferable
23、 materials should be used to the maximum extent possible, provided that the material meets or exceeds the operational and maintenance requirements, and promotes economically advantageous life cycle costs. 3.3 Material. 3.3.1 Fiber. The fiber shall be bright, filament, nylon. 3.3.2 Yarn. The yarn sha
24、ll be multifilament. 3.4 Color. 3.4.1 Class 1. The cloth shall be undyed. 3.4.2 Class 2 and 3. The color of the finished cloth shall be as specified (see 6.2). 3.4.3 Class 4, Woodland Camouflage. The cloth shall be dyed to a ground shade either matching or approximating Light Green 354 and then over
25、printing with the camouflage pattern by roller or screen printing. When the ground shade is dyed to match Light Green 354, the remaining colors shall be obtained by subsequent printing using three rollers or screens, as appropriate for the Dark Green 355, Brown 356, and Black 357 areas of the patter
26、n. When the ground shade is dyed to approximate Light Green 354, all four colors of the camouflage pattern shall be obtained by subsequent printing using four rollers or screens to match all four colors (see 6.5). Resin bonded pigments are not permitted. 3.4.4 Class 5, Universal Camouflage. The clot
27、h shall be dyed to a ground shade either matching or approximating Desert Sand 500 and then overprinting with the camouflage pattern by roller or screen printing. When the ground shade is dyed to match Desert Sand 500, the remaining colors shall be obtained by subsequent printing using two rollers o
28、r screens, as appropriate for the Urban Gray 501 and Foliage Green 502 areas of the pattern. When the ground shade is dyed to approximate Desert Sand 500, all three colors of the camouflage pattern shall be obtained by subsequent printing using three rollers or rotary screens to match all three colo
29、rs (see 6.5). Resin bonded pigments are not permitted. 3.4.5 Labile Sulfur. Use of dyes and compounds containing elementary sulfur capable of oxidation to sulfuric acid is not permitted. 3.5 Visual shade matching (all except Class 1). The color and appearance of the cloth shall match the standard sa
30、mple when viewed using the AATCC Evaluation Procedure 9, Option A, under filtered tungsten lamps that approximate artificial daylight D75 illuminant with a color 4Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-MIL-DTL-508K temperature of 7500 200 K

Perspiration (acid shaded side to side, side to center, or end to end; or not matching the standard sample for shade and appearance shall be cause for rejection of the entire
33、lot represented by the sample. 4.2.4 Roll identification examination. During the yard-by-yard examination, each roll in the sample shall be examined for the defects listed below. The lot shall be unacceptable if two or more rolls in the sample contain one or more of the following defects: Face ident
34、ification missing from either or both ends (for Class 1, 2, and 3). Not labeled or ticketed in accordance with the Rules and Regulations Under the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act. 4.2.5 End item testing. The cloth shall be tested for the characteristics listed in table VI. The methods of t
35、esting wherever applicable and as listed in table VI shall be followed. The physical and chemical values specified in section 3, except where otherwise specified, apply to the results of the determinations made on a sample unit for test purposes as specified in the applicable test method. The sample
36、 unit shall be 3 continuous yards, full width of the finished cloth. The lot shall be unacceptable if one or more sample units fail to meet any test requirement specified. The sample size (number of sample units) shall be selected from different rolls in the lot as specified below: Lot size (yards)

The spectral band width shall be less than 26 nm at 860 nm. Reflectance me
39、asurements shall be made by either the monochromatic or polychromatic mode of operation. When the polychromatic mode of operation is used, the spectrophotometer shall operate with the specimen diffusely illuminated with the full emission of a continuous source that simulates either CIE Source A or C
40、IE Source D65. The specimen shall be viewed at an angle no greater than 10 from normal, with the specular component included. Photometric accuracy of the spectrophotometer shall be within 1 percent and wavelength accuracy within 2 nm. The standard aperture size used in the color measurement device s
41、hall be 1.0 to 1.25 inches in diameter for Woodland camouflage and 0.3725 inches or larger for the Universal camouflage. Areas to be measured for each color shall be lightly marked with a circle, at least 1.50 inches in diameter, on the reverse side of the fabric, and at least 6 inches from the selv
42、age. The specimen shall be measured as a single layer backed with layers of the same fabric and shade. For Class 4 Woodland pattern cloth, three backing layers shall be used for Light Green 354, Dark Green 355 and Brown 356 colors. The specimen for Class 5 Universal pattern cloth, shall be measured
43、as a single layer backed with four layers of the same shade. Measurements shall be taken on a minimum of two different areas and the data averaged. Any color having spectral reflectance values falling outside the limits at four or more of the wavelengths specified shall be considered a test failure.
44、 4.4 Toxicity test. The contractor must furnish information, which certifies that the finished product is composed of materials, which have been safely used commercially or provide sufficient toxicity data to show compatibility with prolonged, direct skin contact. At a minimum, toxicity data should
45、include results from a primary dermal irritation study in laboratory animals and a repeated insult human patch test (Modified Draize Procedure). The latter must be conducted under the supervision of a qualified dermatologist using at least 100 free-living individuals. 4.4.1 Toxicity documents. All f
46、inishes/chemicals used to process the garment shall be identified and accompanied by the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) information. The use of chemicals recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPD) as human carcinogens is prohibited. 13Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo repro
