No buffing, stuccoing, filling or other repair is permitted. 3. REQUIREMENTS 3.1 STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS Material suppliers and part produc
5、ers must conform to the Companys Standard Requirements for production materials (WSS-M99P1111-A). Materials manufactured to this specification shall also meet the requirements contained in WSS-M99P43-B. For all test methods, no individual specimen shall fall below the minimum values specified herein
6、 3.2 SAMPLE SELECTION Samples for testing shall be selected according to paragraph 3.3 in WSS-M99P43-B. 3.3 APPEARANCE (FLTM BI 109-01) The color, grain, visual aesthetics, hand and finish shall match the approved Design Center master sample and shall be as specified on the Engineering Drawing.
